Delays in debt servicing obligations GPSPL has been facing a severe liquidity crunch in the recent past, since it has not been able to generate adequate cash flows to meet the NCD repayment on the maturity date. The said cash flow mismatches are driven by the company’s sole dependence on ELPL whose operating performance has been deteriorating, led by time & cost overruns in the completion of its capital expenditure plans in the recent past, thereby leading to delay in transition to in-house manufacturing from third-party manufacturing. The default is still being reflected in the public domain as per the NSDL status. |
