MTNL to Pay ₹20.54 Crore Plus Interest in Land Acquisition Case
MTNL's property in Goregaon, Mumbai, is involved in a land acquisition case. The Bombay High Court ordered MTNL to pay ₹20.54 crore plus interest to claimants. The payment is subject to MTNL's appeal outcome, with the balance interest due within three weeks.
The court order mandates a substantial payment from MTNL, which could impact its financial liquidity, although the exact impact depends on the final outcome of the appeal.
The company is required to pay a significant sum of money plus interest due to a court order, which has a negative financial implication.
