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.
