Deccan Chronicle Holdings may face legal action by lenders

07 Nov 2012 Evaluate

The lenders may take a legal action against Deccan Chronicle Holdings (DCHL), a Hyderabad-based media company. The joint decision on future action is however expected once the forensic audit report of the company is submitted. The lenders are expecting that by this month the report on the forensic audit of DCHL by Deloitte will be ready.

Canara Bank has an exposure of Rs 330 crore to DCHL. The bank in the second quarter has made a provision of Rs 225 crore following the slippage on this account. In order to take a joint decision on what needs to be done in this case the bank will be in touch with other lenders.

DCHL landed into a financial crisis as some of its business plans did not materialize as expected. The cash flows from new businesses and expansion were not enough to meet loan repayments, thereby leading defaults, total debt to be admitted by the CDR cell was about Rs 2,300 crore, while the banks’ total exposure to DCHL is Rs 5,000 crore.

Deccan Chronicle Holdings is one of the leading publication houses in Andhra Pradesh (AP). Its publications include Deccan Chronicle, Andhra Bhoomi and Financial Chronicle.
