The stand-alone net loss of Lanco Infratech widened to Rs 1,691.49 crore for the quarter ended June, compared to Rs 127.77-crore loss in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. 

Lanco reported the highest net loss ever, which is unprecedented for a single quarter, after taking a Rs 1,131.83-crore liability from the Griffin Coal Mine operations. 

Lanco, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lanco Resources International, had acquired Griffin Coal in Australia for $730 million in 2011. 

These mining assets posted no meaningful returns, while its liabilities increased to $1.2 billion, including a new unsecured loan of $55 million.
