Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) is a voluntary mechanism for corporate debt restructuring outside of legal proceedings like BIFR. The CDR framework has a three-tier structure, including the CDR Standing Forum which lays down policies, the CDR Empowered Group which decides on restructuring feasibility, and the CDR Cell which prepares restructuring plans. The objective of CDR is to ensure a timely and transparent process to restructure debt of viable companies facing temporary problems for the benefit of all parties.
