Reliance Infra upgrade: Infra major credit rating raised 3 notches by Ind-Ra; big move after debt clean-up

Time of India6 days ago
India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) has upgraded Reliance Infrastructure's credit rating by three notches — from 'IND D' to 'IND B / Stable / IND A4' — on its non-fund based working capital limits, citing the company's successful deleveraging to net zero debt and improved debt servicing record.
The upgrade marks a significant improvement in the company's credit profile after six years at the lowest rating level, Reliance Infra said in a regulatory filing, PTI reported.
Ind-Ra noted that the rating boost follows Reliance Infra's 'substantial deleveraging efforts,' with the company now carrying no net debt from banks or financial institutions. It also cited timely servicing of standalone debt obligations over the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Further strengthening its case, Reliance Infra completed one-time settlements with lenders of its subsidiaries, including the final payment by JR Toll Road Private Limited on June 23. These repayments were supported by capital infusion from warrants worth Rs 3,010 crore, of which Rs 750 crore was received in FY25 and Rs 225 crore in the first quarter of FY26.
The agency also withdrew its earlier ratings on proposed fund-based and non-fund-based limits that were not availed by the company.

Despite the rating improvement, Ind-Ra flagged ongoing risks. 'The ratings continue to be constrained by the company's weak financial risk profile, large contingent liabilities, and exposure to arbitration-related uncertainties across both standalone and stressed subsidiaries,' the agency said.
The company's engineering and construction (E&C) business is expected to recover in FY26, aided by fresh order flows in emerging sectors. It added that Reliance Infra plans to raise Rs 6,000 crore through foreign currency convertible bonds (FCCBs) and a qualified institutional placement (QIP) of equity, both approved by the board.

Adani to exit AWL Agri, sells stake to Wilmar for Rs 10,874 crore

The Adani Group is set to fully exit AWL Agri Business (formerly Adani Wilmar Ltd) by selling its entire stake to its joint venture partner, Wilmar International of Singapore, for Rs 10,874 crore. This marks the end of one of India's longest-running joint ventures, which began in 1999. Wilmar's stake in the company will now increase from 44 per cent to 64 per cent, making it the majority shareholder and bringing Adani's involvement in the consumer-focused agri business to a close. Currently, Adani Commodities — a unit of Adani Enterprises — holds 30.42 per cent in AWL Agri. It will sell 20 per cent of this to Wilmar's Singapore-based subsidiary, Lence, at Rs 275 per share, amounting to Rs 7,150 crore. The remaining 10.42 per cent will be sold to a group of pre-identified investors, although Adani has not disclosed their identities. Adani had earlier stated, in December 2024, its intent to sell its full 44 per cent stake in the joint venture to refocus on its core infrastructure businesses. As part of the agreement announced Thursday, Adani Commodities LLP (ACL) and Lence Pte Ltd confirmed that Lence will purchase up to 259.9 million equity shares — representing 20 per cent of AWL Agri — from ACL. In January 2025, Adani had already sold 13.5 per cent of its AWL stake via an Offer for Sale (OFS) at Rs 275 per share, to help meet regulatory norms on minimum public shareholding. That reduced its holding to 30.42 per cent. The Adani-Wilmar joint venture initially had both parties holding 44 per cent each. Under a prior agreement signed in December 2024, they had also granted each other options to buy or sell shares at a mutually agreed price, capped at Rs 305 per share. With this transaction, Wilmar International becomes the sole controlling shareholder of AWL Agri with a 64 per cent stake, completing Adani's strategic exit from the FMCG space.
