The company said the current crisis will not significant impact the company's ability to maintain its operations, including the going concern assessment, it said. This is on account of the resurgence in the business and commercial activity, REC's liquidity position and access to diverse sources of funds, the firm added. However, it said the impact will continue to be dependent on future developments, which are uncertain, including the COVID-19 pandemic situation.
