CARE Ratings has downgraded Pakka Limited's long-term bank facility rating from CARE BBB; Stable to CARE BBB-; Negative, and its short-term facility rating from CARE A3+ to CARE A3, on ₹618.42 crore and ₹12.52 crore of facilities respectively. The downgrade is driven by time and cost overruns of about ₹67.74 crore in Project Jagriti (a large capacity expansion in Ayodhya), pending approvals for extending the commercial operation date and additional term loans, and weaker operational and financial performance in the first nine months of FY26. The 9MFY26 revenue fell to ₹254.25 crore (from ₹313.88 crore a year earlier) and profit after tax dropped sharply to ₹14.30 crore (from ₹44.13 crore) due to a planned plant shutdown. The rating outlook has been changed to Negative, and the agency flagged that only 25% of the warrant exercise amount has been received, raising the risk of equity contribution falling short by ₹73.44 crore.
Negative for shareholders — the rating cut raises Pakka's future borrowing costs, signals execution and cash-flow risks around its biggest expansion project, and reflects a sharp dip in earnings. Short-term, the stock may face pressure as lenders consider COD extension requests and the warrant shortfall could strain project funding if not bridged.
