“Due to continued liquidity issues the company has approached bankers for a second corporate debt restructuring package,” the New Delhi-based company said, adding that its short-term liabilities exceed short-term assets by 1.9 billion rupees (US$31 million).

This is the second time Indosolar has asked to have its debt restructured; in January 2012 the company was granted approval to restructure around US$31 million of its debt.

Indosolar is one of a number of India-based PV manufacturers pressing for duties to be imposed on PV equipment imported from abroad, claiming competitors from countries such as the US and China are dumping products into India’s market.
