He informed that the group had a domestic debt of Rs. 275 crores and an asset base of over Rs.1500 Crores. The prime reason for the debt had been company’s expansion into various cities.

He pointed out that the company has received an advance amount of Rs.5 crores and is expected to receive an additional amount of Rs.25 crores and the joint development of the land parcel is expected to take over 30 months.

Mr Reddy stated that the total non-core assets of the group form massive two million square feet in built up area in both commercial and residential categories. The company has already been approached by many real estate players and is looking for more offers by newer players before finalizing further deals.

Mr Reddy pointed out that CCHHL’s debt reduction strategy would substantially bring down the company’s interest burden that currently amounts to Rs. 40 crores per annum.

As regards the performance of the company, Mr Reddy stated that CCHHL hopes to perform much better during this financial year on the back of launch of newer products coupled with cost optimisation introduced by the company. CCHHL recently launched its prestigious Millionaire Cards across India.
