Q&A highlights
Management's answers to analyst questions, in Parakho's words rather than a transcript. Each row names who answered and carries the verbatim quote it was drawn from.
Management said this was due to a provision for interest payable to DLF on Downtown's balance sheet that had not been provided for in prior years due to disputes, now provided for after settlement.
Answered by Company
Asked by Kunal (CLSA): Why is the financing/interest cost seemingly higher relative to the debt on a combined basis?
p. 7
“when we settled with DLF, we had to provide for an interest payable to DLF on the Downtown's balance sheet, which was not provided for the last 3-4 years because of the disputes with DLF.”

p. 8
“All efforts are going on to refinance, but with last six months market conditions on that side, it's on a backburn.”
