Kallam Textiles Ltd confirmed receiving sale notices from Union Bank of India for its spinning unit and hydel unit. The move, under the SARFAESI Act, aims to recover outstanding dues of over ₹185 crore, signaling deepening financial challenges for the textile company.
Union Bank issued notices for the sale of Kallam Textiles’ spinning and hydel units.
Outstanding Dues:
The bank seeks to recover ₹185.35 crore in unpaid loans. The reserve price for the assets, including industrial land, machinery, and hydropower project facilities, is set at ₹147 crore.
Legal Framework:
The action is being taken under the SARFAESI Act, 2002, which empowers banks to auction assets of defaulters without court intervention.
Assets on Sale:
The spinning unit and hydel unit are core parts of Kallam’s operations, making the sale a significant setback for the company’s production and energy portfolio.
Industry Context:
The textile sector has faced mounting pressures from rising input costs, global demand fluctuations, and debt burdens, with smaller firms particularly vulnerable.
Why It Matters
The notices highlight the financial distress in India’s textile industry, where debt-laden firms are struggling to sustain operations. For Kallam Textiles, the sale of key units could reshape its future, while for Union Bank, it represents a step toward recovering large-scale non-performing assets.
