INDmoney Analysis
SIFL has been under severe financial stress for the past few years. SIFL posted a 91% decline in profit for the September quarter. The management clearly indicated that the infrastructure sector has been under severe stress and it will take a long time to bring things back on track. There is a lot of uncertainty with regards to the proposed consolidation of assets and the slump sale. Also, Srei Infrastructure Finance holds a 3.34% stake in Lakshmi Vilas Bank, which will get delisted from the exchanges and will be valued at zero.
We recommend that you exit your investments in SREI group.
