Rating Rationale

Rating Date: 27-Jul-2026

Bonds/NCDs with BBB credit rating are considered to have a moderate to low degree of safety regarding timely servicing of debt obligations. Such Bonds/NCDs carry moderate to high credit risk, hence it is suitable for investors with high risk tolerance.
Positive Outlook suggests a higher probability of a rating upgrade in the medium term, reflecting favorable trends or events that strengthen the issuer's creditworthiness.
