Vedanta Limited's Ratings on NCDs Assigned 'CRISIL AA' and Placed on Watch Developing
Vedanta Limited's NCDs received a CRISIL AA rating and were placed on 'Watch Developing'. The rating agency reaffirmed the short-term rating at CRISIL A1+. CRISIL withdrew its rating on ₹6,089 crore NCDs due to their transfer to Vedanta Aluminium Metal Ltd post-demerger.
The rating action and withdrawal, especially concerning a significant amount of NCDs (₹6,089 crore), have a medium impact as they affect the company's debt instruments and reflect ongoing corporate restructuring. The 'Watch Developing' status suggests potential future rating changes.
The announcement concerns credit rating actions and a rating withdrawal due to a corporate restructuring (demerger). While the ratings themselves are stable, the 'Watch Developing' status indicates potential future changes, and the withdrawal is a procedural event related to the demerger rather than a direct reflection of financial performance.
Vedanta Limited has announced that CRISIL Ratings Limited has assigned a rating of ‘CRISIL AA’ to its Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) and placed them on ‘Watch Developing’. The long-term rating remains at CRISIL AA/‘Watch Developing’, and the short-term rating has been reaffirmed at CRISIL A1+.
CRISIL Ratings has also withdrawn its rating on the Non-Convertible Debentures amounting to ₹6,089 crore. This withdrawal is due to the impending transfer of these NCDs to Vedanta Aluminium Metal Ltd (VAML) following the demerger of Vedanta group's aluminium business into VAML. VAML will subsequently operate the group's aluminium business.
