Likely market impact

This is a significant credit event indicating severe financial distress. With Rs 9,340 crore in bank debt classified as NPA and total debt exceeding Rs 36,500 crore, MTNL faces substantial solvency concerns. The stock is likely to remain under pressure given the continued default status across multiple lenders.
