    The crippled Infrastructure Leasing & Financial Services (IL&FS), which made headlines earlier this month for defaulting on a Rs 1,000 crore loan from Small Industries Development Bank of India (Sidbi), is now looking to sell off assets to honour its debt commitments and switch to an asset light strategy.

    "We have put the corporate office on the block,", referring to the company's headquarters in Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC). "Our effort is to monetise all our resources to repay debt and clean up the balance sheet."
