Orient Press Announces Fixed Deposit Scheme for Members at 9.00% Interest
The announcement directly impacts the company's financial position by seeking to raise a significant amount of capital (₹800 Lakhs) for general business purposes. This could improve liquidity and support operations, which is important given the recent losses. However, it is a fundraising activity rather than a major strategic shift or expansion, hence a medium impact.
The company is actively raising funds through fixed deposits, which is a positive step for liquidity. However, this is balanced by consistent financial losses over the past three years, no dividend declaration, and low interest coverage ratios, indicating ongoing financial challenges. The 'CARE BB; Stable' rating also suggests a moderate risk profile.
* Orient Press Limited announced a circular for accepting fixed deposits from its members, in continuation of its intimation dated 12th August, 2025. * The company offers a Non-Cumulative Deposit scheme with an interest rate of 9.00% per annum for periods of two and three years.
