ICRA Limited has placed SML Isuzu's long-term rating of [ICRA] AA- on watch with positive implications for its Rs. 263 crore banking facilities. The short-term rating of [ICRA] A1+ on Rs. 380 crore facilities remains unchanged. The reason for the watch is Mahindra & Mahindra's plan to acquire a combined 58.96% stake from Sumitomo Corporation (43.96%) and Isuzu Motors (15%), along with an open offer for an additional 26% from public shareholders. The transaction is awaiting regulatory approvals including from the Competition Commission of India. The rating itself has not been upgraded yet, but the positive watch signals a likely upgrade once the deal closes.
Positive signal for shareholders — the rating watch with positive implications reflects ICRA's expectation of a possible upgrade, driven by the stronger financial backing from Mahindra & Mahindra as the new promoter. This could improve credit perception and boost investor confidence in the stock.
