Group’s retail business, Future Retail, recently averted a default by making an interest payment of around $14 million (around Rs 100 crore) on its $500 million ( around 3,700 crore) foreign bonds to investors.
The company had earlier missed its deadline for interest payment on July 22. It had then said that due to the nationwide lockdown, and consequent restricted business operations of the company, the liquidity position has been affected causing it to miss the service of the payment of interest due on the USD Notes, listed on Singapore Stock Exchange.
