Unfazed by competition from RIL, expect broad-based growth in FY24: GCPL

Godrej Consumer Products Ltd is unfazed by the prospect of competition from Reliance's entry into the FMCG sector, having seen multiple disruptions, including the high-profile entry of Baba Ramdev's Patanjali, according to a top company official. The company is betting on its brand equity, wide range of portfolios and innovations to ward off competition, Godrej Consumer Products Ltd (GCPL) CFO Sameer Shah told PTI. "We have seen multiple disruptions in the FMCG sector. In 2005-06 every one said that modern retail would take the sector by storm with private labels and FMCG players would find it very difficult to compete. After 17-18 years nothing has changed with modern retail play, he said. Shah was responding to a query on how the entry of Reliance in the FMCG segment would change the competitive landscape of the sector. "It's too early to call on, he said adding, We have seen Patanjali a few years back. Five to six years back the expectation was they would take on every FMCG play

DMRC writes to Centre on Reliance arbitral award high court order: Sources

Delhi Metro has asked the Centre and the city government for "further directions" on a Delhi High Court order that directed the two to help it pay dues of an arbitral award passed in favour of Delhi Airport Metro Express Private Limited, sources on Tuesday said. The DMRC sought directions in a letter dated March 28 addressed to the secretary, Union Ministry of Urban and Housing Affairs, and chief secretary, Delhi government, in separate copies, they said. DMRC officials, when contacted, did not comment on the issue. The Delhi High Court had on March 17 directed the Centre and the city government to attend to DMRC's request for extension of sovereign guarantees or subordinate debt to enable it to make payment of dues of an arbitral award passed in favour of DAMEPL, saying the governments cannot shirk from their liability to abide by judgements and decrees. The high court's verdict had come on an execution petition filed by Reliance Infrastructure-owned DAMEPL against the Delhi Metro

Barely days after signing a USD 3 billion financing in India's most widely syndicated loan, Reliance Industries Ltd and its unit Reliance Jio Infocomm have raised USD 2 billion add-on foreign currency facility at most competitive rates, sources said. The USD 3 billion financing closed on March 31 and the add on USD 2 billion thereafter. The fund raising is the largest through syndicated term loans by an Indian corporate house in at least five years, the banking sources involved in the deal said. The primary syndication of USD 3 billion involved around 55 lenders, including nearly two dozen Taiwanese banks as well as global giants such as Bank of America, HSBC, MUFG, Citi, SMBC, Mizuho, and Credit Agricole. The new loan of USD 2 billion has the same terms as the borrowing signed on March 31 with 55 lenders, including 40 that joined in two phases of syndication.
