DPSC Limited's Bank Loan Ratings Downgraded to BWR BB/BWR A4 Amidst CIRP
DPSC Limited's bank loan ratings were downgraded by Brickwork Ratings on May 22, 2026, following the initiation of Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) on May 15, 2026. Fund-based facilities moved to BWR BB and non-fund-based to BWR A4, both with negative implications. This action is due to a corporate guarantee invoked for an erstwhile subsidiary, not a direct loan default.
The initiation of CIRP and subsequent rating downgrades have a significant impact on the company's financial standing, investor confidence, and operational continuity.
The company's credit ratings have been downgraded, and it is undergoing Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP), indicating significant financial distress and uncertainty.
DPSC Limited (formerly India Power Corporation Limited) has announced that Brickwork Ratings has revised the ratings for its bank loan facilities on May 22, 2026. The company's fund-based facilities were downgraded from BWR BBB- to BWR BB with a Credit Watch with Negative Implications, and non-fund-based facilities were downgraded from BWR A3 to BWR A4 with a Credit Watch with Negative Implications.
The rationale for this revision is attributed to the admission of a petition against India Power Corporation Limited (IPCL) for the initiation of the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), 2016. This order was passed by the Hon'ble National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Hyderabad Bench - 1, on May 15, 2026. Ms. Medarametla Srinivasa Mano Ranjani has been appointed as the Interim Resolution Professional (IRP), and the company's board has been suspended since May 15, 2026.
Brickwork Ratings notes that the initiation of CIRP is not due to a default on its rated loans but stems from a corporate guarantee provided by IPCL in 2016 to its erstwhile subsidiary, Meenakshi Energy Limited (MEL). MEL experienced financial stress, leading to the invocation of the corporate guarantee. The admission into CIRP has created uncertainty regarding the company's overall business risk profile. Brickwork Ratings is awaiting further clarity on the implications of this event on the company's business and finances. Additionally, a BWR-rated Bank Guarantee from South Indian Bank was invoked on May 18, 2026. The company's ratings have been under watch with negative implications since July 2022 due to an ongoing sub-judice matter concerning alleged fraudulent transactions with SREI Equipment Finance Ltd.
