Gayatri Projects update on monetisation of its stake in Sembcorp Energy India

Gayatri Projects, in line with its stated strategy, is pursuing monetisation of its stake in Sembcorp Energy India (SEIL). The stake sale was being undertaken to improve company's liquidity position; however, despite its best efforts, the Company was not able to fast track the same and as a result there was a delay in Company's debt service obligations. The SEIL stake sale has now progressed significantly and the Company expects to close the said deal before the end of the current calendar year.

Post the completion of the SEIL deal, GPL will be able to significantly de-leverage its balance sheet and overcome its temporary liquidity crunch. The delays in debt obligations, has resulted in a ratings downgrade by CARE to 'D' from the earlier rating of 'BB+' .
