New Delhi: Coffee Day Enterprises Ltd (CDEL) on Tuesday said it has defaulted on loan repayments worth ₹72.88 crore as of December 31, 2025, underscoring persistent stress on the café chain operator’s balance sheet amid a prolonged liquidity crunch.
In a regulatory filing, the company said its total outstanding loans from banks and financial institutions stood at ₹126.26 crore at the end of the December quarter. Of this, defaults included ₹18.38 crore in unpaid interest, with delays attributed to tight liquidity conditions.
The disclosure was made in line with SEBI norms requiring listed entities to report delays or defaults in servicing debt. Coffee Day said the defaults relate to loans and revolving credit facilities such as cash credit availed from banks and financial institutions. The company reported no outstanding unlisted debt securities such as non-convertible debentures or preference shares during the quarter.
The Bengaluru-headquartered firm, which operates the Café Coffee Day chain, has been grappling with debt reduction and restructuring challenges over the past few years following a sharp deterioration in its financial position. The latest disclosure indicates that repayment pressures continue to weigh on the company, even as it seeks to stabilise operations and improve cash flows.
Coffee Day said it has informed stock exchanges about the defaults for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, and reiterated that the delays in debt servicing were due to a liquidity crisis. The company did not outline a specific timeline for regularising the overdue amounts in its filing.
