Ambika Cotton Mills: CRISIL upgrades short-term rating to A1+, reaffirms long-term A+ stable
Ambika Cotton Mills Limited's short-term bank facilities rating has been upgraded to CRISIL A1+ by CRISIL, with the long-term rating reaffirmed at CRISIL A+/Stable. The upgrade reflects sustained improvement in liquidity and financial flexibility, with net cash increasing to ₹198 crore as of March 2026. The company remains debt-free, and management commits to maintaining a minimum free liquidity buffer of ₹150 crore.
An upgraded credit rating can improve the company's borrowing costs and access to credit, which is moderately positive for its financial operations.
The credit rating upgrade to CRISIL A1+ and reaffirmation of CRISIL A+/Stable indicates a positive assessment of the company's financial health and creditworthiness by CRISIL.
Ambika Cotton Mills Limited (ACML) has received a credit rating report from CRISIL for its bank facilities in August 2026.
CRISIL has upgraded ACML's short-term rating to CRISIL A1+ from CRISIL A1 and reaffirmed the long-term rating at CRISIL A+/Stable. This upgrade reflects the sustained improvement in the company's liquidity and strengthening financial flexibility over the three fiscals ended March 31, 2026. The company has consistently maintained a strong net cash position, which increased to approximately ₹198 crore as of March 2026 from ₹135 crore as of March 2024. This is supported by healthy cash accrual, prudent working capital management, and limited dependence on external borrowings, leading to enhanced liquidity and a stronger balance sheet.
The management has committed to maintaining a minimum free liquidity buffer of approximately ₹150 crore over the medium term. The company remained debt-free as on March 31, 2026, with no outstanding external borrowings. The management does not anticipate any requirement for major long-term borrowings for planned capital expenditures and operational needs, expecting them to be funded through internal cash generation.
The ratings are further supported by the promoter's extensive experience, ACML's established market position in the finer cotton yarn segment, long-standing customer relationships, healthy operating efficiency, and a strong financial risk profile. These strengths are partially offset by the company's susceptibility to volatility in raw material prices and foreign exchange rates.
