According to the company, all repayments made to these nine banks have been completed&nbsp;<strong>ahead of their scheduled due dates<\/strong>, highlighting the pace of its debt-resolution efforts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The jewellery retailer has simultaneously made substantial progress with the remaining five consortium banks. PC Jeweller said it has already discharged&nbsp;<strong>more than 96% of the outstanding debt<\/strong>&nbsp;owed to these lenders, leaving less than 4% still to be repaid.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company has reiterated its objective of becoming&nbsp;<strong>debt-free within the current month<\/strong>. If completed as planned, the milestone would represent a significant strengthening of PC Jeweller&#8217;s balance sheet and overall financial position.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company said the debt-free status would materially strengthen its balance sheet and financial position, as it continues to execute its repayment commitments under the settlement arrangement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The disclosure was made by PC Jeweller to both&nbsp;<strong>BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited<\/strong>&nbsp;on September 3, 2026. The company&#8217;s BSE scrip code is&nbsp;<strong>534809<\/strong>, while its NSE symbol is&nbsp;<strong>PCJEWELLER<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Market takeaway:<\/strong>&nbsp;The latest debt repayment update is a positive balance-sheet development for PC Jeweller, particularly as the company moves closer to eliminating its outstanding consortium-bank debt. The key near-term milestone for investors will be whether the company completes the remaining repayments and formally achieves its targeted debt-free status within September.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi [India], September 3: PC Jeweller Limited has announced another significant step in its ongoing debt-reduction programme, reporting the successful clearance and repayment&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":56323,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[7081,7079,7084,7085,7087,7082,7083,7080,6684,7086],"class_list":["post-56324","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","tag-balance-sheet","tag-bse-534809","tag-consortium-banks","tag-corporate-update","tag-debt-reduction","tag-jewellery-retailer","tag-nse-pcjeweller","tag-pc-jeweller","tag-september-2026","tag-settlement-agreement"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theoneindia.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56324","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theoneindia.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theoneindia.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theoneindia.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theoneindia.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=56324"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/theoneindia.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56324\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theoneindia.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/56323"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theoneindia.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56324"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theoneindia.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=56324"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theoneindia.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=56324"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
