The Russian Interfax news agency said the loan will be interest-free until 2015, Interfax said, citing a package of measures proposed by the company to the government’s anti-crisis commission.
The report did not say where AvtoVAZ hoped to obtain the loans.
Some reports say new loan finance could come from the Russian government.
AvtoVAZ which is 25% owned by Renault, will cut up to 27,600 jobs, close to a third of its workforce, to help it reach “effective and profitable production.”
