When the mediaperson approached the Pune-based firm, its spokesperson declined to comment on the proposal.

“We have submitted a restructuring plan and it is being reviewed by the consortium of banks. We would not be able to make any specific comment on this,” the spokesperson said.

While presenting its second quarter results in November last year, company CFO Swapnil Jain had said that Suzlon was working along with the lenders towards a holistic debt resolution.

As per the reports, the fresh proposal comprises an assessment on how the debt-ridden firm can sustainably recast. A meeting is scheduled for the next week during which the matter would be discussed, it added.

On Friday, Suzlon Energy shares closed 19.65 per cent higher on the BSE to touch Rs 2.74 a piece over the previous day.
