SP Group Faces ₹3,500 Crore Repayment Deadline, Tata Group Explores Stake Sale Options
The Shapoorji Pallonji (SP) Group faces a repayment deadline of around ₹3,500 crore by the end of September, linked to earlier financing and partly funded by a ₹21,500-crore refinancing completed in July. Failure to pay could trigger a default, while repayment would improve the group's loan-to-value ratio. To raise funds, the Tata Group and SP Group are discussing options including a share swap involving Tata Power shares, a buyout of SP's Tata Sons stake, or a sale to an external investor. These talks aim to unlock liquidity amid SP Group's debt pressures.
