A Delhi based real estate company, which
claims to have transformed the dreams of several of its customers to reality,
is being trampled by a leading Mumbai-based NBFC.
The promoters
of the real estate company had pledged its shares with the NBFC and accepted a
funding of Rs 300 crore to meet its short-term working capital. But as a result
of the prolonged bearish phase and constant pounding of realty shares, the
promoters are unable to meet margin calls that are triggered when share prices
slide.
If market
sources are to be believed, the company is not in a position to even meet the
interest due on its borrowings. Fearing that the loan would end up as bad debt,
the NBFC has started dumping the shares of the real estate developer,
triggering a further slide in the stock price.
The stock is
already down 80% from its peak price seen some months ago. But market circles
feel the hammering is not yet over, and the stock may test new lows in the
coming days.
