Abstract:

Wockhardt Limited was the fifth largest pharmaceutical company in India before it got into financial trouble in 2008. The company moved to the corporate debt restructuring cell in the first half of 2009 to get out of the trouble that was rooted in a mounting debt burden and huge losses in complex currency derivatives. After two years of continuous losses, Wockhardt was able to come back in the third quarter of 2010. However, its hurdles and legal dispute continued till late 2012.
