Apar Industries' Long-Term and Short-Term Bank Facilities Upgraded by CARE Ratings
CARE Ratings has upgraded Apar Industries' Long-Term Bank Facilities to CARE AA; Stable and Short-Term Bank Facilities to CARE A1+. The upgrade is driven by sustained growth in operations and improved profitability. The company's revenue grew 23.2% to ₹22,902 crore in FY26, supported by a strong order book. A recent ₹2,500 crore QIP has significantly strengthened its capital structure.
A credit rating upgrade can lead to a lower cost of borrowing, improved access to capital, and enhanced investor confidence, which has a significant positive impact on the company's financial standing and future growth prospects.
The credit rating upgrade by CARE Ratings to 'AA; Stable' for long-term facilities and reaffirmation of 'A1+' for short-term facilities is a positive indicator of the company's financial health and operational performance.
Apar Industries Limited has announced a revision in its credit ratings for Long-Term and Short-Term Bank Facilities by CARE Ratings Limited. The Long Term Bank Facilities have been upgraded to CARE AA; Stable from CARE AA-; Stable. The Long Term / Short Term Bank Facilities have been upgraded to CARE AA; Stable / CARE A1+ from CARE AA -; Stable, with the Short Term rating being reaffirmed.
These upgrades are driven by Apar Industries' strengthening business profile, evidenced by sustained growth in operations and improving profitability across its conductors, cables, and speciality oils businesses. The company reported a 23.2% increase in operating income to ₹22,902 crore in FY26 and a 29.1% year-on-year growth to ₹6,591 crore in Q1FY27. Profit before interest, lease rentals, depreciation, and taxation (PBILDT) grew by 21.1% to ₹1,922 crore in FY26, with operating margins improving to 11.50% in Q1FY27. The company's established market position, diversified product portfolio, and a healthy order book of ₹10,190 crore for conductors and ₹1,925 crore for cables as of June 30, 2026, provide strong revenue visibility.
The rating upgrade also reflects the significant strengthening of the company's capital structure following the successful completion of a ₹2,500 crore Qualified Institutions Placement (QIP) in August 2026. The infusion is expected to support working capital requirements and reduce reliance on short-term borrowings, with the Total Outside Liabilities to Tangible Net Worth (TOL/TNW) projected to improve to below unity by March 31, 2027.
The rating rationale highlights Apar Industries' leadership position in conductors and speciality oils, diversified product and geographical presence, and the promoters' extensive industry experience. Key strengths also include a strong liquidity position and comfortable debt protection metrics. However, the ratings are tempered by working-capital-intensive operations, reliance on letter of credit (LC) acceptances, substantial capex plans, and exposure to raw material price volatility and foreign-exchange fluctuations.
