Debt-ridden property firm Bathla may collapse this week, says administrator

Administrators of Bathla Group, a major Australian property developer, have warned that the company may collapse within days due to insufficient funds. The firm, which has over 350 employees, has not paid some staff for eight weeks and lacks cash to cover payroll, supplier payments, and basic operational costs. Administrators appointed last Tuesday after the company defaulted on debts exceeding $3.2 billion are seeking a $20 million cash injection to keep operations running until at least February or March. While the New South Wales government has refused financial support, administrators hope private investors may step in. They prioritize completing 45 ongoing projects, aiming to deliver 2,000–2,500 homes, and plan to reduce staff, potentially impacting foreign workers on temporary visas.
