New Delhi: Debt-ridden Infrastructure Leasing & Financial Services (IL&FS) on Thursday said it has received than 30 expressions of interest (EOI) for acquiring its stakes in its 22 assets across its domestic road vertical as a part of its asset monetisation plan.

"IL&FS has received a strong response to the asset monetisation process for the domestic roads vertical housed under its subsidiary, IL&FS Transportation Networks. More than 30 expressions of interest were received for acquiring IL&FS' interests in its 22 assets across its domestic road vertical," IL&FS Transportation Networks, a group company of the troubled IL&FS group, said in a BSE filing.

"Eligibility of the received EOIs is being scrutinised. Interest has been received from a mix of strategic and financial players.
