Detailed Rationale
Crisil Ratings has upgraded its rating on the short-term bank facilities of Rattanindia Power Limited (RIPL; part of
RattanIndia group) to ‘Crisil A2’ from ‘Crisil A3+’.
The upgrade factors in the improved operating performance of RIPL as indicated by increase in plant load factor (PLF) to
82% in fiscal 2026 from 78% in fiscal 2025, while plant availability factor (PAF) remained above 85%. This has enabled the
company to report healthy operating profitability despite decline in tariff (as per the power purchase agreement [PPA]) while
maintaining low external senior debt.
The company reported earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda) of Rs 410 crore in fiscal 2026
compared with Rs 598 crore in fiscal 2025. The decline remained moderate despite reduction in variable charges as per
PPA, aided by high PLF, driven by increased offtake from Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Ltd
(MSEDCL). Profitability was further supported by low fuel costs owing to improved availability and quality of coal. Crisil
Ratings expects the operating performance to remain healthy over the medium term with PLF sustaining above 75% and
PAF above 85%, supported by favourable variable cost of generation on account of adequate fuel availability and stable
demand. This should translate into Ebitda of over Rs 400 crore and Ebitda per unit exceeding Rs 0.45 per unit in fiscal 2027
and thereafter. Nevertheless, profitability remains susceptible to the timely availability of adequate coal and maintenance of
fuel quality and will remain monitorable.
The business risk profile continues to benefit from low offtake risk, backed by long-term PPAs of 25 years for almost its
entire net capacity, available fuel supply agreement (FSA) and timely receipt of regular receivables from its counterparty,
MSEDCL.
The rating action is also supported by RIPL’s nil long-term external debt. Further, fund-based working capital facilities
(sanction) of Rs 400 crore witnessed reduction in its interest rate to 11% per annum (p.a.) in 2026 compared with 11.5% in
2025. Further, operations of the plant are managed through a monitoring agency and all cash flow is escrowed in trust and
retention account (TRA) and follows a waterfall mechanism with no surplus being upstreamed without lender’s consent,
providing additional cushion.
These strengths are partially offset by modest financial risk profile and presence of counterparty risk due to long-standing,
albeit improving level of regulatory receivables from MSEDCL.
On September 19, 2025, a petition filed by REC Ltd, under Section 7 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, against
the company, has been dismissed by the National Company Law Tribunal, New Delhi Branch (Court – II). Accordingly, no
cash outflow is expected in this regard. While, REC Ltd has not filed appeal against the NCLT order, it may go to/approach
higher courts and thus, legal outcomes and cash outflow thereof, will remain monitorable.
Further, the company also has 0.001% optionally convertible cumulative redeemable preference shares (OCCRPS) from
erstwhile lenders to the project, which are due for repayment/conversion in December 2026. Given the past precedence of
quashing REC Ltd’s application pertaining to payment related to Rs 250 crore RPS, no cash outflow is expected pertaining
to these OCCRPS as well, however, the same continues to be monitorable.
On March 12, 2025, the Arbitral Tribunal dismissed the petition filed by the company against the interim arbitral award dated
July 27, 2017, which had awarded Rs 115 crore plus interest in favour of the respondent, i.e. Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd.
The company has appealed against the same, thus, no immediate cash outflow is expected. The company had healthy
liquidity with overall cash balance of Rs 276 crore as on March 31, 2026, out of which Rs 197 crore was earmarked for the
disputed amount against BHEL. However, any material cash outflow, impacting the liquidity of the company, will be
monitorable.

07/08/2026, 11:34 Rating Rationale
Analytical Approach
Crisil Ratings has analysed the standalone business and financial risk profiles of RIPL to arrive at its ratings owing to the
presence of a ring-fenced mechanism that insulates it from other assets in the group. RIPL entered into a settlement
agreement with its erstwhile lenders in December 2019 along with signing an agreement to release RIPL from the debt
obligation of its subsidiary Sinnar Thermal Power Ltd out of RIPL’s cash flow.
Furthermore, aside from secured debt, RIPL also has Rs 1,450 crore of inter-corporate deposits (ICDs) from its promoters,
which has been subordinated to the rated debt under the subordination agreement signed.
Moreover, there are also 0.001% RPS and 0.001% OCCRPS from original lenders to the project, which would be serviced in
line with the Companies Act.
Crisil Ratings has considered only secured debt for leverage analysis, given, as per understanding from the management,
the subordinated debt is long-drawn and prioritised below secured debt.
Key Rating Drivers - Strengths
Low offtake and fuel supply risk
The company has a 25-year PPA (till 2040) with MSEDCL for almost its entire net capacity, which reduces offtake risk and
provides revenue visibility. The tariff structure allows the company to recover its entire fixed cost, provided the plant
achieves a normative PAF of 85%.
Additionally, the plant has adequate fuel linkage for its coal requirement driven by FSA with South Eastern Coalfields Ltd
(SECL) for 6.1 million tonne per annum (MTPA). Moreover, in case of further requirement or unavailability, the plant may
procure coal from other alternative sources
