Infrastructure Leasing and Financial Services (IL&FS) has received Rs 1,925 crore as interim termination payment from Haryana Shehari Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) for the Gurgaon Metro Project, the company said on Sunday. On 26 March, the Supreme Court had directed HSVP to deposit 80% of the "debt due" of over Rs 2,400 crore, on the basis of an audit conducted by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG), within three months in the escrow accounts of two special purpose vehicles (SPVs)—Rapid Metro Rail Gurgaon Ltd (RMGL) and Rapid Metro Rail Gurgaon South Ltd (RMGSL), which had developed the Gurgaon Metro Project. The SC had said that appropriation of any amount from the escrow accounts shall be subject to further orders of the NCLAT or any other competent legal authority.
