DHFL and other shadow banking firms have been stung by a liquidity crunch.Crisis-hit shadow bank Dewan Housing Finance Corp (DHFL) said on Friday its board had approved a plan that included converting debt into equity, even as it seeks to sell assets and raise more capital.The conversion of debt into equity may result in a change in ownership, the company said in a regulatory filing, adding that the plan still needed shareholder approval.DHFL, country's fourth-biggest housing finance company, has roughly Rs 1 lakh crore ($14.15 billion) of debt, and owes about Rs 40,000 crore to banks alone.

The company hasn't been able to service its debt and it has defaulted on its obligations several times.As a result, the non-banking financial company is undergoing a restructuring process that is being deliberated upon by its lenders, to help it ride out a liquidity crunch and restart its lending business.DHFL and other shadow banking firms have been stung by a liquidity crunch following last year's collapse of Infrastructure Leasing - Financial Services - once one of the biggest players in the sector.DHFL's struggles also come as the domestic banking sector still grapples with nearly $150 billion of stressed assets.Get Breaking news, live coverage, and Latest News from India and around the world on TheIndianSubcontinent.com.
