PC Jeweller Ltd said on Thursday it has cleared its outstanding debt to one more bank under a settlement agreement dated Sept. 30, 2024.
The company has now repaid all outstanding debt to 9 of the 14 consortium banks, with every repayment completed ahead of the scheduled due dates, it said in a regulatory filing.
PC Jeweller has also discharged more than 96% of the outstanding debt owed to the remaining five banks.
The company said it remains on track to clear the balance of less than 4% owed to these banks and achieve debt-free status this month, a move it said would materially strengthen its balance sheet.
