Credit rating agency, ICRA has revised downwards the long term rating of the Rs 166 crore term loan, Rs 100 crore non convertible debenture (NCD) and Rs 150 crore fund based bank facilities of Tata Metaliks (TML) to A- from A. The outlook on the long term rating is ‘Negative’. The Issuer Rating of TML has also been revised downward to IrA- from IrA.
The rating agency has also revised downward the short term rating of the Rs 650 crore short term non fund based bank facilities and the Rs 100 crore commercial paper (CP) programme of the company to A2+ from A1.
The revisions in ratings factor in the significant losses posted by TML during the period April - December 2011 (9M FY12) almost eroding its tangible net worth, thus leading to a highly adverse capital structure of the company at present. The losses were primarily due to higher raw-material consumption at both Kharagpur and Redi unit of the company.
Tata Metaliks was set up as a joint venture between Tata Steel (TSL) and WBIDC (West Bengal Industrial Development Corporation) to manufacture pig iron at its plant at Kharagpur, West Bengal. It has two plants at present, one located at Kharagpur (West Bengal) and the other at Redi (Maharashtra), which was acquired in January 2006. TML belongs to the Tata group of companies with Tata Steel indirectly owning 50.04% of equity capital of company at present.
