In a regulatory filing made after market hours on Friday, the Anil Ambani-led company said that India Ratings has upgraded its credit rating by three notches, moving it from the earlier ‘IND D’ rating to ‘IND B/Stable/IND A4’ on its existing non-fund-based working capital limits.
The credit rating agency also removed the company’s ‘Default’ classification after six years.
The rating upgrade was driven by Reliance Infra’s sharp reduction in debt, with the company now reporting a near-zero debt position with banks and financial institutions.
“This upgrade represents a significant improvement of three notches in the Company’s credit profile, achieved after six years at the IND D rating level. The upgrade also reflects the Company’s substantial deleveraging efforts, resulting in net zero debt with banks and financial institutions,” Reliance Infra said in its exchange filing.
