Chembond Changes Rating Agency; CRISIL cites 'Issuer Not Cooperating'
Chembond Material Technologies Limited switched its credit rating agency from CRISIL to ICRA. CRISIL cited 'Issuer Not Cooperating' for its BB/Stable rating on ₹12 Crore facilities. ICRA assigned '[ICRA]BBB(Stable)' ratings to ₹65 Crore facilities, including cash credit and unallocated limits. The company reported Q1 FY27 PAT of ₹5.73 Crore on ₹72.42 Crore revenue.
A change in credit rating agency and a downgrade by one agency due to non-cooperation can impact the company's borrowing costs and investor confidence. However, the assignment of stable ratings by the new agency mitigates the impact to some extent. The total rated amount by ICRA is significant at ₹65 Crore, suggesting a medium impact on the company's financial operations.
The announcement involves a change in credit rating agency and a downgrade by the previous agency due to non-cooperation, which is a negative aspect. However, the new agency has assigned stable ratings, which balances the sentiment. The core reason for the neutral sentiment is the mixed signals from the rating agencies.
Chembond Material Technologies Limited has clarified its credit rating situation following a rationale issued by CRISIL Ratings Limited on September 29, 2026. The company announced that it has switched its credit rating agency from CRISIL Ratings Limited to ICRA Limited. The rating issued by ICRA Limited was submitted to the stock exchanges on September 1, 2026.
CRISIL Ratings had migrated the ratings on Chembond Material Technologies Limited's bank facilities to ‘CRISIL BB/Stable/CRISIL A4+ Issuer not cooperating’, citing that the company did not provide the requisite information needed to conduct the rating exercise and remained non-cooperative despite repeated attempts to engage with the management. CRISIL stated that such ratings lack a forward-looking component. The total bank loan facilities rated by CRISIL amounted to ₹12 Crore.
In contrast, ICRA Limited assigned new rating actions on September 1, 2026, for Chembond Material Technologies Limited's instruments totaling ₹65.00 Crore. The assigned ratings include '[ICRA]BBB(Stable)' for long-term fund-based cash credit facilities (₹2.20 Crore) and long-term/short-term unallocated limits (₹60.27 Crore), as well as '[ICRA]BBB(Stable)/[ICRA]A3+' for long-term/short-term non-fund-based facilities (₹2.53 Crore). These ratings were submitted to the stock exchanges on September 1, 2026. The company's financial indicators for Q1 FY27 and FY26 were also provided, showing Revenue of ₹72.42 Crore and ₹250 Crore respectively, and Profit After Tax (PAT) of ₹5.73 Crore and ₹13 Crore respectively.
