Adani is now open to bidding for the entire DHFL company. Earlier, they had only bid for the wholesale book and slum rehabilitation book of DHFL. Adani Properties has informed the RBI Administrator and Committee of Creditors (CoC) of Dewan Housing Finance Limited (DHFL) that they have bid for the whole book and have offered Rs 250-300 crore more than US-based Oaktree Capital’s Rs 31,000 crore, according to sources.
