CARE Ratings reaffirmed Zodiac Energy's bank loan facilities at CARE BBB; Stable / CARE A3+. The company's revenue grew 38% to ₹543.52 crore in FY26. Order book is ₹208.32 crore, and overall gearing stood at 1.86x as of March 31, 2026. Outlook remains Stable.
Credit rating reaffirmations are important for a company's borrowing capacity and cost of debt, but the core business operations and financials remain the primary drivers of impact.
The credit rating has been reaffirmed with a stable outlook, indicating continued financial stability and positive operational performance.
Zodiac Energy Limited (ZEL) announced that CARE Ratings Limited has reaffirmed the credit rating on its bank loan facilities. The long-term/short-term bank facilities, enhanced from ₹63.55 crore to ₹71.55 crore, have been reaffirmed at CARE BBB; Stable / CARE A3+.
Additionally, long-term bank facilities of ₹115.95 crore (reduced from ₹121.95 crore) were reaffirmed at CARE BBB; Stable, and short-term bank facilities of ₹1.50 crore were reaffirmed at CARE A3+. A segment of long-term bank facilities was withdrawn.
The ratings are supported by ZEL's growing scale of operations, moderate profitability, experienced promoters, and adequate liquidity. However, these strengths are partially offset by a moderate order book position, working capital-intensive operations, and a moderate financial risk profile. The company's profitability is also susceptible to volatility in solar module prices and intense industry competition.
In FY26, ZEL's revenue grew by approximately 38% year-on-year to ₹543.52 crore, with a PBILDT margin expansion to 10.28%. The company commissioned 26.56 MWp of solar power assets in Gujarat under the RESCO model with a 25-year PPA at ₹3 per kWh.
As of September 9, 2026, ZEL's order book stood at ₹208.32 crore, executable over 6-12 months. The company's overall gearing was 1.86x as of March 31, 2026. CARE Ratings expects ZEL to continue benefiting from its promoters' experience and long-term PPAs, maintaining a stable outlook.
