Bhagyanagar Copper subsidiary rated [ICRA]A- on watch for demerger
Bhagyanagar Copper Private Limited, a subsidiary of Bhagyanagar India Limited, received an [ICRA]A- rating with a watch on developing implications. The rating is associated with the ongoing demerger process, expected to conclude by October 2026. The rating reflects improved financial performance and a growing contribution from value-added products.
The credit rating of a significant subsidiary impacts the overall financial perception of the parent company. The 'Rating Watch with Developing Implications' suggests a period of transition and potential future changes in creditworthiness that could affect investor confidence and borrowing costs.
The rating is placed on 'Watch with Developing Implications' due to an ongoing demerger process, indicating uncertainty. While the underlying business performance is positive, the rating watch signifies potential changes that need to be monitored.
Bhagyanagar India Limited announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bhagyanagar Copper Private Limited (BCPL), has been assigned a credit rating of [ICRA]A- with a Rating Watch on Developing Implications by ICRA Limited. The rating is under watch due to the ongoing demerger process where BCPL's copper business will be housed under a separate entity, Tieramet Limited. This transaction is expected to be concluded by October 2026.
BCPL's rating reflects its strong business and financial risk profile, established market position, diversified business, and healthy financial performance. The company has seen significant revenue and profitability growth, driven by an increasing contribution from value-added products (VAPs), which now constitute nearly 60% of revenues. Operating profitability has improved materially, with per kg earnings increasing significantly from FY2025 to FY2027.
The rating also considers BCPL's integrated operations, prudent hedging, and the Surana Group's promoter experience. The financial risk profile has strengthened with improved accruals, a healthy capital structure, and recent equity infusion. ICRA expects debt protection metrics to further strengthen in FY2027. However, the ratings are constrained by exposure to raw material availability, global copper market dynamics, and the working capital-intensive nature of operations.
