New Delhi: In a letter to Amazon, the future retail of Kishore Biyani (FRL) has asked the US e-commerce giant to RS 3,500 Crore on January 24 to repay its lenders and avoid default.
FRL, which operates a large chain of Hypermarket Bazaar stores, is required to pay the loan in number on January 29, failed to be classified as nonperforming assets (NPA).

The e-tailer has alleged that FRL has signed a period of time not binding with private equity players Samara Capital, which requires 7,000crore Rs investment, before the announcement of the agreement relies on the future.
FRL, however, asked Amazon to confirm whether it can act on behalf of Samara and have the authority to negotiate and finish such a transaction on its name.
“Your letter refers to potential transactions between Samara Capital and FRL, as ‘solution’,” FRL wrote in the letter on January 21.
“Please also confirm the structure for the proposed transaction, and that Samara’s capital management is owned.
