ICRA has assigned ratings of [ICRA]A+ (long-term) and [ICRA]A1 (short-term) to Tega Industries' bank facilities worth Rs. 2,000 crore. The ratings have been placed on 'Rating Watch with Developing Implications' due to the company's proposed acquisition of Molycop (AIP MC Holdings LLC) in partnership with Apollo Funds at an enterprise value of ~$1.455 billion. TIL will acquire ~84.18% stake valued at ~$394 million, funded through Rs. 1,713 crore equity raise, Rs. 1,500 crore term loan and Apollo's $270 million preference share infusion. The transaction is expected to complete by June 2026 pending final regulatory approval. While the acquisition offers strategic synergies and product complementarities, ICRA expects consolidated debt/OPBDITA to remain elevated over the next two years before gradually improving.
The 'Rating Watch with Developing Implications' indicates uncertainty rather than a negative action. It signals that while the current A+ rating is maintained, the outcome depends on successful completion of the large Molycop acquisition. Shareholders should monitor for resolution of the watch post-transaction completion and finalisation of debt terms.
