A credit rating upgrade directly impacts the company's borrowing costs, investor confidence, and overall financial standing, making it a high-impact event.
The credit rating upgrade by CRISIL, along with reaffirmation of the short-term rating, indicates a positive assessment of the company's financial health and operational performance.
Lumino Industries Limited (LIL) has received an upgrade in its credit ratings from CRISIL Ratings Limited. The long-term bank facilities have been upgraded to 'Crisil A+/Stable' from 'Crisil A/Stable', while the short-term bank facilities have been reaffirmed at 'Crisil A1'.
This upgrade is attributed to the continuous strengthening of LIL's business and financial risk profiles. The company has experienced increasing operational scale, supported by a robust order book, healthy operating profitability, and improvements in its working capital cycle and debt coverage indicators. Revenue has grown at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 39% in the three fiscals through 2026, driven by strong order book execution. The company sustained healthy operating performance in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 with an estimated turnover of ₹550 crore.
The company also raised approximately ₹500 crore via a fresh equity share IPO allotment on September 3, 2026. These funds were used to support the working capital cycle, reducing debt reliance by around ₹360 crore and strengthening the financial risk profile. Net worth is projected to increase significantly, leading to improved gearing and a lower total outside liabilities to tangible net worth (TOLTNW) ratio. The interest coverage ratio is expected to improve to over 5 times.
The ratings reflect LIL's established market presence in the conductors and cables business, experienced management, and reputed clientele. The business risk profile is further bolstered by diversification into new products and segments, alongside a favorable industry outlook for the transmission and distribution (T&D) sector. The company's financial risk profile remains strong, supported by steady accretion to reserves and comfortable gearing levels.
