CRISIL has reaffirmed Ashoka Buildcon's credit ratings on both its long-term and short-term debt. The long-term rating stands at CRISIL AA- with a Negative outlook, while the short-term rating is reaffirmed at CRISIL A1+. The Negative outlook on the long-term rating signals that a downgrade is possible in the near term. CRISIL also withdrew its rating on the company's Commercial Papers (CPs) at ABL's request, but the company still holds a CP rating from ICRA, so the CPs remain active. CRISIL cited ABL's strong EPC and BOT road project track record and improving order book as positives, but flagged large working capital needs and exposure to industry competition and cyclicality as concerns.
The reaffirmation is neutral, but the Negative outlook on the AA- long-term rating is a caution flag for shareholders, as it increases the chance of a future downgrade. The CP rating withdrawal is administrative and not a sign of stress, since ICRA still rates the CPs.
