Apollo and ICICI eye Indian distressed assets

ICICI is planning to advance its partnership with Apollo following their first joint venture, AION Capital, in 2013.  

ICICI Bank, Apollo India Credit Opportunity Management and AION Capital Management have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish an asset reconstruction company (ARC) in India.

“The objective of the collaboration will be to streamline the operations of borrowers, facilitate deleveraging and arrange additional funding on a case-by-case basis,” ICICI Bank said in a statement.
