CARE Ratings has reaffirmed Vindhya Telelinks Limited's long-term rating at 'CARE A+' for bank facilities of Rs. 1,420.40 crore (enhanced from Rs. 1,157.40 crore), but revised the outlook from 'Stable' to 'Negative'. The short-term rating was reaffirmed at 'CARE A1+' for enhanced facilities of Rs. 3,746.75 crore (up from Rs. 3,226.75 crore). The negative outlook reflects a stretched operating cycle (143 days vs 111 days in FY24), delayed collections, higher working capital borrowings, and weaker coverage indicators. The company has a healthy order book of Rs. 6,784 crore (1.67x FY25 revenue) and continues to receive financial support from the MP Birla Group. Profitability moderated in FY25, with PBILDT margins falling to 6.65% from 7.27% in FY24.
While the actual rating was not downgraded, the negative outlook is a warning that further deterioration in working capital or margins could trigger a downgrade. Enhanced credit lines support business growth, but rising receivables, slower collections, and weaker interest coverage (2.65x vs 3.38x) may weigh on investor sentiment in the near term.
