CARE Ratings has reaffirmed Zee Media Corporation's long-term bank facility rating at CARE BB with a Stable outlook, revising the outlook from Negative to Stable. The rating covers Rs. 50 crore in fund-based limits — Rs. 35 crore from Axis Bank and Rs. 15 crore proposed facility. The revision followed CARE's review of the company's FY25 audited results and Q1FY26 unaudited performance. While the outlook has improved, the underlying CARE BB rating remains in the speculative grade (junk) category, indicating the company is still considered below investment grade. The change reflects a shift in CARE's view on the direction of credit risk rather than an upgrade in the rating itself.
The outlook upgrade from Negative to Stable is a mild positive signal, suggesting CARE sees reduced near-term default risk on Zee Media's debt obligations. However, since the BB rating itself is unchanged and remains in speculative (junk) territory, borrowing costs are unlikely to ease materially and credit risk concerns persist for shareholders and lenders.
