Fitch on Thursday downgraded telecom operator Reliance Communications to junk grade, saying loan default is a “real possibility” and red-flagged its poor liquidity and excessive refinancing risk.
The latest action by the credit rating agency comes on the heels of a downgrade by other rating agencies such as Moody’s Investors Services, ICRA and CARE, and is expected to add to financial woes of the Anil Ambani-owned telecom firm that is straddled with ₹44,000 crore net debt.
