India Ratings Converts Provisional Rating on Juniper Green Sigma’s Bank Loans to
Final ‘IND AA’/Stable; Rates Additional Limits
Sep 29, 2026 | JUNIPER GREEN SIGMA LIMITED (Formerly Juniper Green Sigma Private Limited) | Power Generation
India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) has taken the following rating actions on Juniper Green Sigma Limited's (JGSL,

*The assignment of the final rating follows the receipt of key executed transaction documents in line with the information
already received by Ind-Ra. The final rating is, therefore, the same as the provisional rating assigned. The key documents
received are sanction letter, executed facility agreement and executed Trust and Retention Account (TRA).
Analytical Approach
Ind-Ra has analysed the project on a standalone basis. In addition to the plain equity, as on 31 March 2026, the sponsor
had infused funds into the project in the form of unsecured loans worth INR579 million. As per the transaction documents,
these instruments are equity-like in nature and fully subordinated to the senior secured term-debt. They will be paid off only
after all the restricted payment conditions of the senior term loan have been met and have no right to call for an event of
default, as per the transaction documents. The waterfall arrangement also delineates the subservient nature of sponsor
debt obligations.
Detailed Rationale of the Rating Action
The ratings reflects the presence of JGSL’s long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) with Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam
Limited (GUVNL) for the entire capacity of the project for 25 years, the project’s satisfactory operational track record of five
years, the experienced sponsor group, the moderate debt structure, including comfortable debt coverages, and presence of
adequate liquidity. However, the rating is constrained by the risk related to resource variability for solar power projects.
List of Key Rating Drivers
Strengths
Firm offtake by strong counterparty; fixed revenue
Experienced group
Satisfactory generation performance
In-house operations and maintenance (O&M)
Moderate debt structure
Weaknesses
Inherent risks associated with solar project, including solar resource variations
Detailed Description of Key Rating Drivers
Firm Offtake by Strong Counterparty; Fixed Revenue: In FY20, JGSL entered into a 25-year PPA with
Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited for the entire project capacity at a fixed tariff of INR2.67/kWh. The company is also
entitled to additional tariff of about INR15.97 paisa/kWh for safeguard duty. Since the past three years, the company has
been receiving payments from the distribution company within 10 days from the invoice date. The PPA also includes
provisions for compensation specific to grid unavailability. The rating derives comfort from the certainty of long-term
revenue.
Experienced Group: Singapore-based Juniper Renewable Holdings Pte Limited (JRHPL) holds approximately 85.94%
stake in Juniper Green Energy Limited (JGEL), while AT Holdings Pte Limited (ATHPL) and Vitol Holding BV own 75.01%
and 24.99% stake, respectively, in JRHPL. ATHPL is a private investment firm, with interests in real estate, renewable
energy, metals, mining and diversified industries. ATHPL has a significant experience in developing renewable capacity in
India through Orange Renewable Power Private Limited, which was monetised in 2018. Vitol is a large trader in oil and
petroleum products, and has investments in renewable energy projects across geographies.
JGEL, including its subsidiaries, had a total operational capacity of 2.69-gigawatt peak (GWp) and battery energy storage
system (BESS) of 503 megawatt-hour (MWh), as on 24 September 2026. Additionally, there is an under-construction
capacity of 3.45GW, with 3.6GWh of BESS, and an awarded under-construction capacity of 5.1GW with 4.9GWh of BESS.
The portfolio’s off-taker mix is healthy, with 98% of the total portfolio tied up with counterparties having strong financial risk
profiles.
Satisfactory Generation Performance: The project achieved COD in December 2020 and has a satisfactory operational
track record of over five years. During the past three years, it has generated close to its P90 estimates. During the trailing
12 months ended June 2026, the plant operated at 26.27%, with healthy plant and grid availability. The generation was
marginally lower than the P90 estimates due to lower solar irradiation. The plant operated at 26.1% in FY26 (FY25: 27.2%),
with plant and grid availability remaining above 99% during FY25-FY26. Ind-Ra will monitor the generation performance.
Any sustained underperformance relative to the P90 estimates could impact the ratings.
In-house O&M: The O&M for the full capacity is being managed by in-house teams. The operating expenses stood at
INR7.68 million during FY26. Efficient plant operations within the projected costs are crucial for the rating. Any significant
increase in O&M costs beyond Ind-Ra’s estimates may impact the rating.
Moderate Debt Structure: JGSL’s debt structure is comfortable and is characterised by a fixed rate of interest for the first
five years, bundled with a fixed to floating interest rate swap structure, with principal repayments spread over a period of
15.5 years. The debt has strong contractual features such as the presence of a debt service reserve equivalent to three
months of debt servicing, the stipulation of a separate trust and retention account (TRA) that manages the usage of project
cash flows with a defined waterfall mech
