Interpretation :
1) In 2016, Reliance Communications faced significant challenges, leading to a net loss of Rs. 24,570 Cr.
2) However, by 2018, the company managed to reduce its losses to Rs. 3,734.04 Cr.
3) This improvement can be attributed to strategic cost-cutting measures and a decrease in operating
expenses.
4) Despite the losses, the company's ability to minimize its financial downturn suggests a potential
turnaround strategy, demonstrating efforts to stabilize its financial position over the two-year period.
Conclusion
Based on the provided balance sheet data for Reliance Communications, it is evident that the
company faced significant challenges between March 2016 and March 2018.
There was a substantial decline in shareholders' funds, non-current assets, and overall assets,
indicating financial instability. The company experienced a sharp decrease in reserves and surplus,
long-term borrowings, and fixed assets, coupled with a notable increase in current liabilities.
These factors collectively point towards a period of financial distress and a need for strategic
restructuring and financial recovery for Reliance Communications.
