In a statement on Monday, Piramal listed ten things to argue that its bid has a clear upper hand over Oaktree
Wadhawan had proposed to offer 100 percent principal repayment to all the lenders (offered to repay Rs 91,158 crore) as opposed to the next highest bid of Rs 38,250 crore. He has offered to repay Rs 65,000 crore within seven years as opposed to Rs 38,000 crore reportedly payable in 10 years.
