Bharat Forge: ICRA Reaffirms Ratings, Withdraws ₹700 Cr NCD Rating
ICRA has reaffirmed Bharat Forge Limited's credit ratings, including '[ICRA] AA+ (Stable)' for issuer rating and long-term facilities. The rating agency also reaffirmed and withdrew the '[ICRA] AA+ (Stable)' rating for ₹700 Crore Non-Convertible Debentures.
Credit rating reaffirmations and withdrawals are standard disclosures. Unless there's a significant downgrade or a major positive rating upgrade, the immediate market impact is typically low for such announcements.
The announcement pertains to credit ratings reaffirmation and withdrawal, which is a routine disclosure. While reaffirmation is positive, the withdrawal of a significant NCD rating without further explanation does not warrant a strongly positive or negative sentiment.
Bharat Forge Limited announced on March 10, 2026, that ICRA has reaffirmed its credit ratings for various facilities and withdrawn the rating for Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) amounting to ₹700.0 Crore.
The reaffirmed ratings include '[ICRA] AA+ (Stable)' for long-term fund-based/working capital facilities, long-term/short-term fund-based/term loans, unallocated limits, and the issuer rating. Additionally, '[ICRA] A1+' rating has been reaffirmed for short-term facilities and non-fund based facilities.
ICRA has also reaffirmed the '[ICRA] AA+ (Stable)' rating for long-term NCDs with a current rated amount of ₹125.0 Crore. However, the '[ICRA] AA+ (Stable)' rating for another set of long-term NCDs, previously rated at ₹700.0 Crore, has been reaffirmed and subsequently withdrawn. The company has provided these details as per Regulation 30 of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
