Disagrees with ICRA rating revision: Reliance Power

Reliance Power Thursday said it "disagrees" with the revision in long-term and short-term ratings of the company along with its subsidiary Vidarbha Industries Power Ltd (VIPL) to 'D issuer not cooperating'.

ICRA has cited delays in debt servicing as evidenced from the signing of the inter-creditor agreement (ICA) on July 6 by all the six lenders each of Reliance Power and VIPL.

Dismissing it, Reliance Power said it has achieved standstill for 180 days to implement the resolution plan during the period after signing ICA with VIPL with 100 per cent of its lenders as per the RBI circular.

"The action taken by ICRA is completely unjustified and unwarranted and the company respectfully disagrees with the revision in the rating," Reliance Power said in a regulatory filing.

Reliance Power further said the company continues to show strong operational performance.

"With Ebitda of the company at Rs 4,263 crore for FY19, Ebitda margin is at 50 per cent which is one of the best in the industry. Excluding one-time exceptional items, the company's PAT (profit after tax) for the year stands at Rs 197 crore," it said.
