KSH International Limited has announced that CARE Ratings has upgraded its long-term credit rating to 'A' from 'A-', maintaining a stable outlook. This upgrade follows the company's recent Initial Public Offering (IPO), the repayment of ₹225.9 crore in debt, and the successful completion of Phase-1 capacity expansion at its Supa Plant.
CARE Ratings cited substantial improvements in the scale of operations and profitability in FY25 and 9MFY26, supported by sustained demand and higher realisations, as key drivers. The strengthening of the capital structure post-IPO and the successful commissioning of the Supa greenfield project without cost overruns were also highlighted. CARE Ratings expects KSH to sustain revenue growth and maintain profitability due to capacity enhancement. The ratings are further supported by KSH's long track record, experienced management, diversified customer base, and strong market position in the magnet winding wire industry.
Key financial highlights include a Total Operating Income (TOI) of ₹1,935.15 crore in FY25, a 39% increase from FY24, and ₹2,088.63 crore in 9MFY26. The company's PBILDT margin improved to 6.72% in FY25 and PAT margin to 3.51%. The IPO in December 2025 raised approximately ₹420 crore, with a significant portion used for debt repayment. The company plans to implement Phase II of its Supa plant expansion by FY27-end, funded by IPO proceeds.
