CRISIL

Rating Rationale

Rating Date: 01-Jul-2025

Credit rating by different rating agencies indicates the bond issuer’s ability to repay its debt obligations. A bond can be rated by one or more SEBI registered credit rating agencies e.g. CRISIL, CARE, ICRA, IND, BWR, ACUITE, INFOMERICS.
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.
