CRISIL Ratings has reaffirmed Trident Limited's long-term rating at CRISIL AA/Stable and short-term rating at CRISIL A1+.

The reaffirmation reflects the company's strong business and financial risk profile, diversified operations, and healthy liquidity.
Credit ratings are crucial for a company's borrowing costs and investor confidence. A stable and positive rating affirmation by a reputable agency like CRISIL has a significant positive impact on the company's financial standing and market perception.
The reaffirmation of credit ratings at a stable and positive outlook by CRISIL indicates a strong financial health and operational performance of the company.
CRISIL Ratings Limited has reaffirmed the credit ratings for Trident Limited's bank loan facilities and commercial paper programme.
The total bank loan facilities rated amount to ₹4,000 crore, with the long-term rating reaffirmed at CRISIL AA/Stable and the short-term rating at CRISIL A1+.
Additionally, the commercial paper programme of ₹150 crore has also been reaffirmed at CRISIL A1+.
These ratings reflect Trident's established market position in the home textile industry, diversified revenue streams, healthy operating efficiency, comfortable financial risk profile, and strong liquidity. The company demonstrated resilience during tariff-related disruptions in the US market in fiscal 2026, limiting revenue decline to approximately 4% while maintaining stable profitability. For fiscal 2027, revenue is projected to grow by 7-8%, with operating margins expected to improve to 15-16% due to better realisations.
Trident's financial risk profile remains strong, supported by a comfortable capital structure. Despite an increase in debt, leverage metrics remain healthy. Liquidity is also robust, with substantial cash balances and adequate unutilized working capital limits.
The ratings are partially offset by exposure to US market volatility, customer concentration, cotton price fluctuations, forex rates, and working capital-intensive operations.
