NEWS:

 

LOK PRAKASHAN SET TO ACQUIRE NEPA

 

P. Manoj

 

NEW DELHI, Oct. 30

 

FOR the Disinvestment Ministry, a prolonged lean patch (aided by the controversy surrounding the disinvestment policy) on selling Government stakes in PSUs is coming to an end. And, the PSU that is helping the cash-starved Ministry lay hands on a few crores of rupees is a sick company.

 

Lok Prakashan Limited, publishers of the Gujarati daily Gujarat Samachar, is set to acquire a controlling stake of 72 per cent in the ailing public sector newsprint-maker NEPA Limited based in Madhya Pradesh.

 

Disinvestment Ministry sources said that the price bid submitted by Lok Prakashan was above the reserve price fixed by the Government.

 

"The Disinvestment Ministry will seek the approval of the Cabinet Committee on Disinvestment (CCD) on the bid submitted by Lok Prakashan Limited. The deal will go through," the sources said. The inter-ministerial group on disinvestments has already cleared the bid of Lok Prakashan in NEPA.

 

Mr. Amam Shah, Vice-President (Operations), Lok Prakashan, told Business Line that his company was keen on acquiring NEPA. "We have submitted a bid for NEPA Limited as this would lead to backward integration with our publishing business," Mr. Shah said.

 

The Government currently holds about 98 per cent of the equity in NEPA while the Madhya Pradesh Government and the public hold the rest. After privatisation, the Government would be left with a residual stake of 26 per cent in the company.

 

The transfer of management control in NEPA to Lok Prakashan would, however, be subject to approval from the Board of Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (BIFR) where the PSU was referred to on becoming sick in 1998. The estimated net worth of NEPA on March 31, 2002 was negative Rs.380.600 Millions.

 

The Union Government will shortly submit to BIFR a comprehensive revival package for NEPA Limited

 

This involves the induction of a private strategic partner holding 72 per cent stake and a non-cash-based financial restructuring scheme supported by conversion of outstanding non-plan assistance of Rs.280.000 Millions and outstanding normal interest of Rs.60.500 Millions on non-plan assistance into equity, besides waiver of outstanding penal interest of Rs.16.000 Millions.

 

With the above concessions/reliefs and after effecting certain accounting adjustments to be made by NEPA in its books, the status of the net worth of the company on March 31, 2002 would improve to a positive Rs.45.300 Millions against the negative Rs.380.600 Millions, Ministry sources said.
