RCom seeks lenders’ nod India’s Reliance Communications (RCom) has urged its lenders to allow the release of 2.60-billion rupees directly to telecommunications equipment maker Ericsson. RCom said it had received the sum as income tax refunds and it is lying in its bank account. Last week India’s Supreme Court found Anil Ambani, chair of the debt-laden RCom, guilty of contempt of court for wilfully failing to pay 5.5-billion rupees to Ericsson. Reuters
