Vedanta's credit profile may weaken if Volcan draws more resources: Moody's

Moody's Investors Service Tuesday said the credit profile of Vedanta Resources Ltd could weaken if there is further flow of resources to its parent company Volcan Investments. Moody's Investors Service said in a report said that Vedanta Resources' investment in December 2018, in a structured product issued by its parent, Volcan Investments Ltd, indicates a willingness to deploy funds to its parent that, if repeated, could weaken its credit profile. "This willingness to deploy funds and Volcan's probable cash-flow shortfall by March 2020, support Moody's expectation that Volcan will likely tap on Vedanta's liquidity again when needed," it said. The USD 561 million investment by Vedanta's wholly owned subsidiary, Cairn India Holdings Limited, resulted in Moody's changing its outlook on Vedanta's ratings to negative in February. Vedanta Resources Limited currently has a Ba3 negative rating. "We assess Vedanta's credit profile on a standalone basis without influence from its parent, but ..

In its budget wish-list, NAREDCO has recommended various incentives to promote rental housing in a big way. It suggested that 10-year tax holiday be given to real estate developers on profits earned from rental housing. That apart, the association sought deduction on expenses like interest and brokerage.
