Segment | Revenue (Rs crore) | Profit/(Loss) before Tax and Finance Cost (Rs crore) |

Ongoing Insolvency Process
RCom continues to operate under the corporate insolvency resolution process (CIRP) initiated in May 2018. The resolution professional, Mr. Anish Niranjan Nanavaty, is overseeing the company's affairs. A resolution plan approved by the Committee of Creditors is pending before the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) for approval.
Regulatory Challenges
The company is facing issues related to the renewal and migration of its telecom licenses. RCom has filed applications with the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) for migration of various licenses to the Unified License regime. However, the DoT has sought payment of certain dues as a pre-condition, which RCom contends should be resolved within the framework of the insolvency process.
Financial Position
RCom's financial position remains precarious, with current liabilities exceeding current assets. The company has defaulted on repayment of borrowings and payment of regulatory and statutory dues. These factors, along with continuous losses, raise significant doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Auditor's Observations
The auditors have drawn attention to several qualifications in their limited review report, including:
- Non-determination of fair value of assets held for sale
- Non-provision of interest on borrowings
- Foreign exchange variations
As Reliance Communications navigates through its insolvency process and regulatory challenges, the company's future remains uncertain. The outcome of the ongoing CIRP and resolution of regulatory issues will be crucial in determining the telecom operator's path forward.
