S&P downgrades Tata Power’s credit rating outlook to ‘negative’

10 Jul 2012 Evaluate

Global rating agency, Standard & Poor’s (S&P) has downgraded the credit rating outlook of Tata Power to ‘negative’ from ‘stable’ due to high debt and rising expenditure at the 4,000 mw ultra mega project at Mundra.

The outlook revision reflects the company’s expectation that its cash flow and financial risk profile could deteriorate over the next six to nine months because the company has breached a debt-to-equity ratio covenant on loans to its Mundra project.

Meanwhile, S&P has maintained Tata Power's long-term corporate credit rating as well as issue rating on its senior unsecured notes at ‘BB-’. This rating generally indicates less vulnerability in the near- term but faces major ongoing uncertainties to adverse business, financial and economic conditions.

S&P noted that it could lower the company’s rating if it is unable to get a waiver from lenders on the breach of covenant, among other factors. It may also revise Tata Power’s outlook to ‘stable’ if the company secures necessary waiver and construction at Mundra continues as planned, among others.
