A credit rating downgrade can affect the company's borrowing costs and investor confidence, leading to a medium impact on its financial operations.
The company's credit rating has been downgraded by India Ratings, indicating a potential increase in financial risk.
Vikran Engineering Limited has been informed of a revision in its credit ratings by India Ratings and Research Private Limited. The long-term rating for Non-convertible Debentures, previously IND A-/Negative, has been downgraded to IND BBB+/Stable for an issue size of ₹1,000 million (₹100 crore). Similarly, the Bank Loan Facilities, aggregating ₹4,700 million (₹470 crore), have been revised from IND A-/Negative / IND A2+ to IND BBB+/Stable / IND A2. The outlook for these facilities has also been revised from Negative to Stable.
This rating revision is primarily attributed to the concentration of the company's order book towards the NOPL Solar Project, with the top order accounting for 37% of the total unexecuted orders. The review also considers the required equity infusion of ₹840 crore balance for the project and its debt tie-up. The rating rationale has been uploaded on India Ratings and Research's website.
