Crisil Ratings has assigned a 'CRISIL AA/Stable' rating to Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions Limited for its corporate credit rating and ₹2,500 crore Non-Convertible Debentures.

A strong credit rating can improve access to capital, potentially lower borrowing costs, and enhance investor confidence, which has a medium-term impact on the company's financial flexibility and growth prospects.
The assignment of a strong credit rating ('CRISIL AA/Stable') by a reputable agency indicates a positive assessment of the company's financial health and market position.
Crisil Ratings Limited has assigned a 'CRISIL AA/Stable' rating to Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions Limited (CMES) for its corporate credit rating and Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) worth ₹2,500 crore. The rating, assigned on September 7, 2026, reflects CMES's strong market position as a leading renewable energy player serving commercial and industrial (C&I) customers. This is supported by a substantial and well-diversified portfolio of assets, a healthy counterparty risk profile, and adequate operating performance. The company's steady cash flow visibility, coupled with controlled leverage, contributes to a comfortable financial risk profile.
As of June 30, 2026, CMES operated a renewable energy capacity of 3.5 gigawatts (GW) across solar, wind, and hybrid projects. This capacity is spread across over 1,300 power purchase agreements (PPAs) and approximately 600 customers in India, along with operations in four other countries. The weighted average PPA tenure is around 23 years, ensuring long-term revenue visibility. The company also has a significant under-construction portfolio of 2.5 GW, with planned commissioning over the next 18-24 months.
The financial risk profile is characterized by a comfortable leverage ratio, with the consolidated net debt to Ebitda expected to be between 5.5–5.7 times in fiscal 2027. The company has healthy liquidity, including free cash and equivalents of ₹1,202 crore as of March 31, 2026. CMES plans to raise ₹2,500 crore through NCDs, with approximately ₹1,100 crore intended for refinancing existing debt and the remainder for funding future capacities.
However, the rating is partially offset by inherent risks in renewable energy generation and susceptibility to regulatory changes affecting the C&I segment, such as open access rules and tariff revisions. The company's substantial under-construction portfolio also introduces execution risks.
