Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) Package

CDR package was approved by the CDREG at their meeting held on 16th March 2012 and the approval letter was issued by the CDR Cell on 31.03.2012.

Banks have delayed the release of amount under Holding on Operations (HOO) immediately after approval of CDR package and issue of letters by the banks. Due to not providing required funds to the projects, the customers have cancelled 14 projects and the Bank Guarantees were invoked. Many of the projects have been stopped for want of materials, due to non-availability of funds and Letter of Credit''s.

Income Tax department has issued the attachment of bank accounts and customer accounts at three occasions resulted in stopping of operations till withdrawal of the attachments, which took time for company to get it done.

On account of all the above factors, the performance during the 15 month accounting period ended 30th June 2013 was lower as compared to the previous year.

Due to the lower turnover and cancellation of the projects, company could not get the collections in time, which has lead to the shortage of cash flow and hence company could not meet the commitments on the payment of interest.

In order to improve the operations of the company, the required support from banks is required and for the same the company has submitted the proposal for revised CDR Package in the last week of April

2013, which is yet to be taken up by the banks.
