In a regulatory filing, Jaiprakash Associates informed that the firm on May 31 defaulted on repayments of a principal amount of ₹1,600 crore and interest of ₹2,361 crore.

“Out of the total borrowing of ₹29,429 crore, ₹18,231 crore will get further reduced on transfer to the proposed Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) for which the Scheme of Arrangement duly approved by all the stakeholders, is pending sanction of NCLT. The entire loan is in any case under restructuring" it added.
