BPL group, the consumer electronics major, is learnt to have run up a staggering Rs 1,000 crore-plus debt in its efforts to have a backward integrated manufacturing plant and its foray into other sectors.
The company as part of its restructuring is looking at shifting this debt, mostly from domestic financial institutions, overseas through external commercial borrowings at a much lower interest rate.
It is also learnt that the much-awaited Sanyo investment will most likely be in the colour television business of the group.
