Fitch Ratings on Tuesday affirmed India-based Bharti Airtel's Long-Term Foreign-Currency Issuer Default Rating (IDR) and senior unsecured rating at 'BBB-' with the outlook on the IDR as stable. "The stable outlook reflects our belief that revenue from Bharti's Indian mobile segment may recover on higher data volume and its African and enterprise business segments will continue to expand. We believe India's tariff levels are unsustainable in the medium- to long-term in light of the low return on investment for telcos. In addition, Bharti is committed to an investment-grade rating and may explore stake sales in non-core assets to support its balance sheet," Fitch said.

Sahoo said. "We have recently recovered around Rs1,300 crore from the resolution of Bhushan Steel and Electrosteel Steels," he added.

State-run lender UCO Bank, which is aspiring to be back in profit, is aiming at recovery of bad loans of around Rs4,000 crore during the current fiscal, its MD and CEO R.K. Takkar said. The Kolkata-headquartered lender is hopeful of making net profit and coming out of the Prompt Corrective Action (PCA) framework of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in the next two years, he said. "We are looking at various avenues -- main is recovery. Our PCR (Provisioning Coverage Ratio) is quite healthy at more than 60%. So, once NCLT resolutions happen, either through OTS (one-time settlement) or normal recovery channels, it will help us not only reducing our NPAs but also writing back the provisions and booking some profit, depending on how much haircut we will have to take," he said. The lender has exposures to nine of the 12 large stressed accounts, identified by the Reserve Bank of India to get resolved under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC). The bank's overall exposure to these nine accounts was around Rs4,300 crore. The RBI had initiated a PCA against the bank in May last year in view of high non-performing assets and negative return on assets. Its gross non-performing assets, in absolute term, went up to Rs30,549.92 crore as on March 31, 2018, over 35% year-on-year jump from Rs22,540.95 crore in the year-ago. As provisioning for stressed assets increased, during the last fiscal, it incurred a net loss of Rs4,436 crore compared to Rs1,851 crore for the previous fiscal.The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
