Media release
APSEZ secures “BBB” rating upgrade from S&P, matches India’s sovereign rating
• S&P upgrades APSEZ to “BBB” from “BBB-“, outlook Stable
• Rating now stands at par with India’s sovereign rating
• Reflects business resilience, strong operating cash flows, and a significantly
strengthened balance sheet
• Recently (Jan 2026), Japanese Credit Rating Agency (JCR) rated APSEZ at “A- /
Stable”, a notch above India’s sovereign rating
25 June 2026, Ahmedabad: Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Limited (APSEZ),
India’s largest and one of the world’s fastest growing Integrated Transport Operator,
announces that S&P Global Ratings has upgraded its long-term issuer credit rating and the
issue rating on its senior unsecured notes to “BBB” from “BBB-“, with a “Stable” outlook,
elevating APSEZ to a rating level at par with India's sovereign rating assigned by S&P.
The upgrade recognizes APSEZ's robust operating cash flow and financials, underpinned
by APSEZ’s resilient business model that has withstood trade tensions across business
cycles and competitive pressures within the transportation sector. Key rating action
rationale includes:
• APSEZ robust financials can accommodate high growth spending
• Tightened leverage policy to support healthy financials
• Growing and diversified portfolio of assets to underpin strong cash flows
"This S&P upgrade is a landmark achievement for the company. Attaining a rating at par
with India's sovereign rating reflects the strength of our business model, the resilience of
our cash flows, the quality of our infrastructure assets, and our unwavering commitment
to financial discipline”, said Mr. Ashwani Gupta, Whole-time Director and CEO, APSEZ.
“This upgrade comes at a time when APSEZ is executing one of the most ambitious growth
programs in the global ports and logistics sector and is testament to APSEZ’s disciplined
approach to capital allocation”.
Recently, during Jan 2026, JCR assigned APSEZ a “A- / Stable” rating, representing a rare
breach of the sovereign threshold by an Indian corporate by an international rating agency.
