HFCL Limited issued corporate guarantees worth ₹50 Crore for its subsidiary HTL Limited. The guarantees secure a ₹40 Crore term loan and a ₹10 Crore working capital facility for HTL. HTL manufactures Optical Fiber Cables and related solutions. The guarantees will be reported as contingent liabilities.
The corporate guarantee of ₹50 Crore represents a significant financial commitment for HFCL as a contingent liability, potentially impacting its financial ratios if the subsidiary defaults. However, it is a supportive measure for a subsidiary's operations.
The issuance of corporate guarantees is a standard financial transaction to support a subsidiary's debt, and it does not inherently indicate positive or negative performance for the parent company. It is reported as a contingent liability.
HFCL Limited has announced the issuance of Corporate Guarantees in favor of SBICAP Trustee Company Limited. These guarantees are intended to secure a term loan and a working capital facility for its subsidiary, HTL Limited. The total value of these guarantees amounts to ₹50 Crore, comprising a ₹40 Crore term loan and a ₹10 Crore working capital facility from the State Bank of India.
HTL Limited, in which HFCL holds a 74% stake with the Government of India holding the remaining 26%, is involved in the manufacturing of Optical Fiber Cables (OFC) and passive connectivity solutions. Additionally, HTL produces key raw materials for OFC such as Aramid Rods, Fiber Reinforced Plastic Rods, and Impregnated Glass Fiber Reinforcement. The company also provides electrical wiring interconnect solutions for the Aerospace & Defence and Automotive & Industrial sectors.
