Lenders of the Leela Group of hotels have decided to offload loans to Asset Reconstruction Companies (ARCs). The bank is planning to offload a loan worth Rs 4,000 crore in a move to reduce pressure from big-ticket bad loans on the lenders' balance sheets.

All lenders to the hospitality company had agreed State Bank of India (SBI), one of the lenders would offload loans to ARCs. Lenders to the company include Bank of India, SBI's associate banks and Export and Import Bank of India.
