India Ratings downgrades SAIL’s rating

Credit rating agency, India Ratings and Research has downgraded Steel Authority of India's (SAIL) rating to 'AA' from 'AAA' with negative outlook. The downgrade reflects the company's credit metrics being lower than the rating agency's expectation for the first nine months of last fiscal. The steep fall in steel prices since January 2015 led to SAIL registering Ebita losses in first three quarters of last year and the consequent worsening of its credit metrics. The state-owned company is undertaking capital expenditure of Rs 61,870 crore. This apart, it will spend an additional Rs 10,260 crore to augment raw-material availability. SAIL is India's largest steel producing company. The company is among the five Maharatnas of the country's Central Public Sector Enterprises. The company has five integrated steel plants, three special plants, and one subsidiary in different parts of the country.
