PC Jeweller to become debt-free this month?

The sharp rally in PC Jeweller’s share price began last week after the company said it is on track to become debt free by this month. In the latest exchange filing released on Tuesday, the company said it has now repaid all outstanding debt to 10 out of 14 consortium banks, with every repayment completed ahead of the scheduled due dates.

PC Jeweller added that it has discharged more than 96% of the outstanding debt owed to the remaining four banks, and remains on track to clear the balance of less than 4% owed to these banks to achieve “debt-free” status by the end of this month. The company said this will materially strengthen its balance sheet and financial position.

The settlement agreement, which was signed in September, 2024, was a one-time settlement between PC Jeweller and a 14-bank consortium led by State Bank of India (SBI), which aimed to resolve a stressed loan book that stood at nearly Rs 4,100 crore as of March 2024. The other consortium members included Union Bank, Punjab National Bank (PNB), Axis Bank, IndusInd Bank, Bank of India, IDBI Bank, Karur Vysya Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Indian Overseas Bank, Canara Bank, Indian Bank, Bank of Baroda and IDFC First Bank.
