CRISIL Assigns 'CRISIL AA-/Stable' Rating to Acme Solar's ₹2086 Crore Bank Facilities
A high credit rating like 'AA-/Stable' significantly improves the company's ability to raise capital at favorable terms, reduces borrowing costs, and enhances investor confidence, directly impacting its financial flexibility and future growth prospects.
The assignment of a 'CRISIL AA-/Stable' rating to significant bank facilities, especially being one of the highest ratings, indicates strong financial health and operational stability, which is a positive development for the company.
* CRISIL Ratings has assigned 'CRISIL AA-/Stable' rating to the ₹2086 crore long-term bank facilities of ACME Deoghar Solar Power Private Limited (ADSPPL) and ACME Phalodi Solar Power Private Limited (APSPPL), wholly-owned subsidiaries of ACME Solar Holdings Limited. * These ratings are for renewable energy projects in Rajasthan with a total capacity of 600 MW. * The long-term loan facility of ₹2086 crore is from Power Finance Corporation Limited. * CRISIL cited robust revenue visibility, strong financial metrics, and a secure cash flow mechanism as key strengths underpinning the 'AA-/Stable' rating, which is one of the highest ratings from the agency. * The rating reflects the strong operational profiles of ADSPPL and APSPPL, supported by a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Solar Energy Corporation of India Limited (SECI). * The fixed tariff for 25 years ensures long-term cash flow predictability, further enhanced by SECI's timely payment record. * Both projects were delivered at an efficient capital cost and are currently generating above predicted levels (ADSPPL ~31.3% and APSPPL ~30.9%). * Within six months of operations, all four assets commissioned by ASHL in Fategarh, Rajasthan, have secured "AA" family ratings from CRISIL, opening avenues for potential bonds and refinancings.
