Sagar Cements said that India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) has placed the company's long-term issuer rating of 'IND A' on rating watch evolving (RWE).
The RWE reflects SCL's business expansion plans (mainly through the inorganic route), that can have a bearing on the company's credit profile, the ratings agency said.
The RWE indicates that the ratings may be upgraded, affirmed or downgraded. Ind-Ra will continue to closely monitor the business expansion plans and resolve the RWE upon receiving clarity on the outcome and impact of the same.
