Detailed Rationale
Crisil Ratings has removed its rating on the long-term bank facilities and non convertible debentures (NCDs) of Aditya Birla Real
Estate Limited (ABREL; Formerly known as Century Textiles and Industries Ltd; part of the Aditya Birla [AB] group) from ‘Rating
Watch with Developing Implications’ and has reaffirmed the rating at ‘Crisil AA’ while assigning a ‘Stable’ outlook. Crisil Ratings
has also reaffirmed its 'Crisil A1+' rating on the short-term bank facilities and commercial paper programme of ABREL.
The long-term rating was placed on ‘Rating Watch with Developing Implications’ in April 2025 following the company’s
announcement on March 31, 2025, regarding the execution of a business transfer agreement with ITC Ltd (ITC; rated ‘Crisil
AAA/Stable/Crisil A1+’) for the sale of its pulp and paper undertaking for a total consideration of Rs 3,498 crore. The transaction
was completed on August 1, 2026, with the undertaking transferred to ITC on a slump-sale and going-concern basis, along with
the associated assets, liabilities, contracts and employees. Following completion of the transaction, the company utilised around
a part of the proceeds towards repayment of debt. The balance proceeds are expected to be deployed towards additional debt
repayment, enhancing the liquidity position as well as for business development, supporting the scale-up of the company’s real
estate operations over the medium term. The gross residential debt is expected to reduce to around Rs 1,900–2,000 crore by the
end of this fiscal.
In fiscal 2026, the company achieved booking value of Rs 8,136 crore, with collection of Rs 3,341 crore, driven by new launches
and sustenance of healthy collection from ongoing projects (booking value of Rs 8,075 crore and collection of Rs 2,706 crore in
fiscal 2025). This includes nearly 76% of the project value booking achieved for its launched projects. Sales bookings are
expected to remain healthy with the launch pipeline having an estimated gross development value (GDV) of ~Rs 9,600 crore in
fiscal 2027 and sustenance sales from ongoing projects.
The construction for existing projects is being funded through customer collections. Residential real estate projects on owned
land and through joint development agreements (JDAs) are expected to continue generating healthy sales bookings, with
collections supporting the construction costs of ongoing projects. The company will continue to follow a flexible approach with a
mix of asset-light JDAs as well as outright land purchases to build a healthy project pipeline. Any substantial investment in JDAs
or new projects could weaken the capital structure of the company, and hence, will remain monitorable. The company continues
to benefit from a diversified revenue profile, healthy financial risk profile and adequate liquidity. Furthermore, the ratings benefit
from strong, need-based, and timely financial support from the AB group.
The ratings continue to reflect ABREL’s growing presence in the domestic residential real estate segment and steady cash flow
generation from the commercial real estate segment. These strengths are partially offset by exposure of the residential real
estate development business to demand and implementation risks. These risks are mitigated by the group’s proven track record
in commercial real estate and focus on quality and timely project completion with healthy bookings for launched projects.
Analytical Approach
Crisil Ratings has applied its criteria for notch-up of ratings based on group support. Crisil Ratings has followed a full
consolidation approach for the real estate and other subsidiaries, given the financial fungibility, and included the share of profit
from joint venture, Birla Advanced Knits Pvt Ltd.

8/13/26, 11:39 AM Rating Rationale
Strong collections from launched residential projects, to support the business, despite likely loss of steady cash flow
of paper business post sale
ABREL commenced developing commercial projects in 2010, leveraging a mix of owned land and JDAs, with the purchase of
land banks, to enhance its project pipeline. Despite being a relatively new entrant, the company has entered into JDAs and
purchased land across Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru and Pune, thereby augmenting its project pipeline with a GDV of ~Rs 42,105
crore. For projects launched up to the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, the company has achieved average bookings of
over 76%, providing visibility into steady cash flow in the medium term. The strong reception to the launched projects, supported
by the Birla brand, offers additional support.
With the inflow of proceeds from the paper business sale, the investment requirement in residential real estate development
projects will be met through a mix of collections from customers and additional liquidity available after the transaction, which will
be utilised for improving the scale of business over the medium term. The company ha
