Rationale
The rating upgrade of Juniper Green Gamma One Private Limited (JGGOPL) factors in an improvement in the credit profile of
its parent, Juniper Green Energy Limited {(JGEL); rated [ICRA]AA- (Stable)/[ICRA]A1+}, following the successful equity raise of
Rs. 1,800 crore through an initial public offering (IPO) in August 2026. . The upgrade also reflects JGEL’s expanding operating
capacity and the satisfactory execution track record demonstrated across its sizeable under-construction portfolio. The
proceeds from the IPO has been utilised to prepay a mezzanine facility of Rs. 600 crore and refinance certain project loans
worth Rs. 811.92 crore; the balance has been allocated for general corporate purposes, primarily for growth capex. This is
expected to deleverage JGEL’s balance sheet and reduce the financing costs, thereby strengthening its capital structure.
A significant proportion of JGEL’s project capacity is already operational, while some under-construction projects are nearing
completion. Hence, the Group’s overall operational portfolio is expected to increase significantly to over 3 GWp of renewable
energy and ~1.4 GWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS) capacity by March 2027, reducing the execution risks and
providing cash flow visibility. At present, JGEL has an operational portfolio of 2,689 MWp of renewable capacity and 503 MWh
of BESS, while another 3,448 MWp and 3,586 MWh of BESS are under construction. Further, the development pipeline remains
strong, with letters of award (LOAs) secured for an additional ~5.1 GWp of renewable projects along with ~4.9 GWh of BESS
capacity. The diversified project profile, the availability of long-term PPAs at competitive tariffs, the satisfactory generation
performance of the assets under JGEL and the strong financial flexibility supported by the sponsor profile and access to long-
term project financing at competitive interest rates underpin JGEL’s strong credit profile and comfortable coverage metrics.
However, ’the credit profile remains constrained by the significant capital expenditure plans for its under-development
projects.
The rating continues to factor in the need-based support available from the parent (JGEL) in case of a fall in generation levels,
evident from the financial support extended to the various group SPVs over the years. The propensity to support is expected
to be high, given the strategic focus of the Group towards renewable energy, the budgeted capital outlay plans for expansion
over the medium to long term and the economic incentives for maintaining asset performance and debt servicing, as reflected
in the comfortable cumulative debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) for this SPV over the loan tenure.
The rating factors in the satisfactory generation performance demonstrated by JGGOPL’s 75-MW (AC)/105-MW (DC) project.
The project achieved more than P90 generation in FY26 while generation in FY25 was lower than P90. The project's ability to
consistently achieve generation levels in line with the appraised P-90 estimates will remain a key monitorable for the rating.
The rating also factors in the limited demand and tariff risks for JGGOPL because of its 25-year long-term power purchase
agreement (PPA) for its 75-MW (AC) solar power capacity with Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited
(MSEDCL) at a fixed tariff of Rs. 2.90 per unit, providing revenue visibility. The tariff rate offered by the company is at a

significant discount compared to the average power procurement cost of MSEDCL, thus enhancing the likelihood of sustained
power offtake over the long term.
A healthy operational performance coupled with the long debt repayment tenure with an amortising structure and the
project’s competitive interest rate are expected to support the company to achieve adequate debt coverage metrics, with the
average DSCR estimated to remain above 1.35x. Additionally, the company’s liquidity remains adequate with the creation of a
debt service reserve of two quarters.
However, ICRA notes that the company’s cash flows and debt protection metrics remain sensitive to its generation
performance, given the single-part tariff under the PPA. This constraint would be amplified by the geographic concentration
of the asset. Any adverse variation in weather conditions and equipment performance can impact the generation levels and
consequently the cash flow. However, ICRA notes there is a healthy buffer available between the current and breakeven PLF.
Also, the lender can exercise the option to call back the loan at the end of 10 years which could expose the company to
refinancing risk.
Also, the rating remains constrained by the counterparty credit risk arising from the exposure to a single buye
