Detailed Rationale
Crisil Ratings has upgraded its rating on the long-term bank facilities of Beta Wind Farm Private Limited (BWFPL) to ‘Crisil
BBB/Stable’ from ‘Crisil BBB-/Positive’.
The rating upgrade factors in the expected sustenance of the improvement in machine availability in the Andhra Pradesh
plant due to the management's ongoing refurbishment and restoration initiatives. Furthermore, BWFPL has demonstrated
healthy plant-load-factor (PLF) in fiscal 2026. The resultant improvement in generation and cash accruals is expected to
strengthen debt servicing, subsequently leading to improvement in the Crisil Ratings estimated average debt service
coverage ratio (DSCR).
Machine availability in Andhra Pradesh has steadily improved over the fiscal 2023- fiscal 2026 and is expected to continue,
supported by the ongoing refurbishment of the remaining machines, which are expected to become operational in the
current fiscal. Furthermore, PLF improved to 19.8% in fiscal 2026 from 18% in fiscal 2025. The PLF levels will remain a key
monitorable.
The rating is also supported by the undertaking given by the parent, Orient Green Power Company Ltd (OGPL), that a
liquidity buffer of Rs 15 crore will be maintained at the group level towards meeting debt obligation of BWFPL till the tenure
of the loan. Furthermore, the undertaking covers support in the form of unsecured loans on need basis to BWFPL to meet
any funding shortfall.
The company is planning to add 6.6 megawatt (MW) of wind capacity in the current fiscal. The project is intended to serve
existing customers. However, the power purchase agreement (PPA) is yet to be executed, and financial closure yet to
happen. The estimated capital expenditure (capex) is expected to be funded through a combination of debt, internal
accruals, and promoter support.
The rating continues to reflect stable revenue visibility for the company through PPAs with counterparties and its stable
receivables profile, supported by adequate liquidity buffer. These strengths are partially offset by the sizeable debt obligation
in the next five fiscals and the limited track record of sustained operational performance.
Analytical Approach
Crisil Ratings has considered the standalone business and financial risk profiles of BWFPL.
Key Rating Drivers - Strengths
Stable revenue visibility through PPAs with counterparties
The counterparties primarily comprise group captive consumers (68%), followed by the Central Power Distribution Company
of Andhra Pradesh Ltd (AP discom; 21%), Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd (GUVNL; 10.5%), and Mangalore Electricity Supply
Company Ltd (MESCOM; 0.5%).
BWFPL has a track record of full and timely collections from GUVNL, MESCOM, and group captive customers, with
payments typically received within 30 days from the invoice date. The company operates under short-term PPAs with group
captive consumers. The company has demonstrated a strong renewal track record, with contracts historically being

renewed, extended, or suitably amended upon expiry at a healthy tariff, supporting revenue visibility. Furthermore, tariffs
have witnessed periodic revisions broadly in line with prevailing market conditions. The continuity of PPA renewals, and tariff
adjustments will remain monitorable.
Stable receivables profile, supported by adequate liquidity buffer
There was a significant build-up of receivables from AP discom owing to differential tariff issues in Andhra Pradesh. The
company has recovered long-pending dues of ~Rs 76 crore from AP discom, including the differential tariff between Rs 4.70
per unit and Rs 2.43 per unit. There is a reduction in receivables to 96 days as on March 31, 2026, from 103 days as on
March 31, 2025. Moreover, AP discom has started paying within 75 days from the date of invoice.
The company has created a debt service reserve account (DSRA) in the form of fixed deposits of Rs 69 crore (equivalent to
six months of debt servicing), lien marked in favour of the lender, Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA),
and complied with the terms of sanction. In addition, the company's free cash balance stood at above Rs 32 crore as on
August 26, 2026.
Furthermore, the parent company, OGPL, has provided an undertaking to maintain surplus funds of Rs 15 crore at the group
level to support BWFPL's debt-servicing obligations throughout the tenure of the loan. Any deviation from this articulated
liquidity support mechanism will remain a key monitorable.
Key Rating Drivers - Weaknesses
Sizeable debt repayment in the next five fiscals, leading to modest DSCR
BWFPL had outstanding debt of ~Rs 479 crore as on March 31, 2026, which is repayable over 9 years until fiscal 2035.
However, around 60% of the debt has to be repaid in the next five fiscals. The large debt obligation will limit the DSCR and
any decline in cash flow (through lower generation or higher expenses) limiting the DSCR further will be a key rating
sensitivity factor.
Weak operational history, though improvement seen in fiscals 2025 and 2026
The PLF of the wind power asset was weak over fiscals 2021-2023, declining from 19.2% in fiscal 2021 to 17% in fiscal
2023. Some wind energy generators (WEG) in Andhra Pradesh had problems with the generator and main bearing. The
repairs and component upgradation initiated in the previous yea
