Embassy Office Parks REIT has informed the Exchange regarding Credit rating obtained on 23/04/2025
Awaiting price reaction for this filing.
CARE Ratings has assigned a CARE AAA/Stable rating to Embassy Office Parks REIT's proposed Non-Convertible Debenture issue of ₹1,200 crore with a 10-year tenor and bullet repayment. CARE also reaffirmed existing ratings: CARE AAA/Stable for the issuer rating and for existing NCDs totaling ₹2,500 crore, and CARE A1+ for ₹1,100 crore of commercial paper. The strong rating reflects the REIT's diversified portfolio of 38.9 msf completed office space across five cities at 87% occupancy, marquee tenant base, and comfortable debt metrics (net debt/GAV of 32%, net debt/EBITDA of 5.3x as of December 2024). The new NCD is likely intended to refinance Series VII NCDs of ₹1,050 crore maturing in June 2025.
The AAA rating reaffirmation and assignment indicate strong credit quality and financial flexibility, enabling Embassy REIT to refinance upcoming debt maturities at competitive rates. This is a positive signal for unitholders regarding debt sustainability, with no negative rating action.
