This comes on the back of big-ticket Mumbai asset sale in October. The company is now closer to achieving its net debt target of Rs 185 billion by March 2013. This debt reduction, coupled with high-value NCR launches, has the potential to significantly turn around cash flow for the company. Neutral.
