TBZ's Long-Term and Short-Term Ratings Placed on Watch with Positive Implications by ICRA
ICRA has placed Tribhovandas Bhimji Zaveri Limited's (TBZ) ratings on watch with positive implications. This follows a ₹1,034 crore deal where GRT Jewellers plans to acquire a 74.12% stake in TBZ. The acquisition is subject to regulatory approvals. ICRA cited potential benefits from integration with the larger GRT Group.
A credit rating watch with positive implications signifies a potentially significant upgrade in the company's creditworthiness, which can impact its borrowing costs, investor confidence, and overall financial standing.
The credit rating agency has placed TBZ's ratings on 'Rating Watch with Positive Implications', indicating a favorable outlook due to a significant acquisition event that is expected to strengthen the company's business profile.
Tribhovandas Bhimji Zaveri Limited (TBZ) has been placed on Rating Watch with Positive Implications by ICRA Limited for its fund-based working capital facilities of ₹900 crore and term loans of ₹15 crore.
The agency cited a share purchase agreement (SPA) between TBZ's promoters and GRT Jewellers (India) Private Limited (GRTJIPL) dated August 31, 2026, for the sale of 74.12% equity shares at a price not exceeding ₹209 per share, aggregating to approximately ₹1,034 crore. This transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and includes a mandatory open offer by GRTJIPL.
ICRA noted that upon successful execution of the SPA, TBZ will become a subsidiary of GRTJIPL, forming part of the GRT Group. This is expected to strengthen TBZ's business profile through association with a larger jewellery retail group and access to its operational and financial strengths. ICRA will resolve the rating watch upon gaining clarity on the future management structure, strategic plans, and support from the GRT Group. The total rated amount is ₹915 crore.
