Shapoorji Pallonji Group, a significant Indian infrastructure conglomerate, has managed to secure creditor approval to delay payment on a substantial high-yield bond. This eleventh-hour reprieve, just days before the April 30 maturity, effectively averts a potential default that could have sent ripples through the Indian credit market.
