CRISIL Ratings has reaffirmed Tilaknagar Industries' long-term bank loan rating at 'Crisil A-/Stable' and removed it from 'Rating Watch with Developing Implications.' The total bank loan facilities rated have been sharply enhanced from Rs 200 crore to Rs 2,850 crore. This follows the company's December 1, 2025 completion of the Imperial Blue whisky brand acquisition from Pernod Ricard India for Rs 4,150 crore, funded equally by Rs 2,100 crore in term loans and Rs 2,093 crore in equity (QIP and preferential issue). The combined entity's revenue is expected to cross Rs 2,500 crore in FY26, roughly tripling TIL's scale, though debt metrics will moderate in the near term before improving gradually. Operating margins of the combined business are expected at 13-15%.
Positive for shareholders — the removal from rating watch confirms that the large debt-funded Imperial Blue acquisition does not threaten TIL's credit profile, with gearing staying below 1x and cash flow generation remaining adequate. The sharp expansion in rated bank facilities (Rs 2,650 crore increase) signals strong lender confidence and supports the company's growth strategy. Near-term profitability may see some pressure from acquisition costs and lower Imperial Blue margins, but the long-term outlook strengthens significantly.
