The group has offered land parcels in Mumbai and other places, and a portion of Tata Sons shares owned by the promoters, as collateral against the loan amount. This provides a security value in excess of six times the loan value, giving PFC a significant claim over the group's assets in case of a default.
The cash flows from the real estate franchise will ensure a full repayment of the loan over the tenor of three years, according to SP Group director (real estate) Venkatesh Gopalakrishnan. However, Tata Sons shares are not transferable to third parties without the permission of the company, as its articles of association prohibit such a move.
In the past, the SP Group had offered Tata Sons shares as collateral to secure loans from financial institutions. The group has been servicing its liabilities from its cash flows and proceeds from asset sales, including the sale of its data centre construction business and port facility.
The Rs 15,000 crore PFC loan gives the SP Group the time to implement its ongoing real estate projects as well as to pare debt. The group's real estate franchise plans to develop some of the land parcels it owns in major cities.
PFC, the largest NBFC in the country and the most profitable, has sanctioned about Rs 82,000 crore to the infrastructure sector as of March 31, 2024. The SP Group has been working with PFC over the last nine months to craft a unique proposal that has a twin security structure leveraging the strength of its large real estate franchise and a portion of the Tata Sons shares owned by the Mistry family.
