Gallantt Ispat said that India Ratings and Research has affirmed the company's long-term issuer rating at 'IND A' with 'stable' outlook.
India Ratings stated that a timely completion of the ongoing capex and ramp-up of incremental capacities, resulting in improved and less volatile EBITDA margins, leading to the net adjusted leverage remaining below 1.5x, on a sustained basis, would lead to a positive rating action.
However, a substantial decline in the scale of operations, operating margins and/or the net adjusted leverage exceeding 2.25x, on a sustained basis, will lead to a negative rating action. Any unrelated diversion of funds could also lead to a negative rating action.
Gallantt Ispat is a partially-integrated re-rolled products (TMT bars, 950,400tpa) manufacturer with an in-house sponge iron (918,000tpa) and mild steel billets production (957,000tpa) with two facilities located at Kutch (Gujarat) and Gorakhpur (Uttar Pradesh).
