The outlook on the rating is Stable.

    Bharat Aluminium Company Limited Instrument Amount Rated Rating action Term Loan Rs 2500 crore [ICRA]A (Stable) assigned External Commercial Borrowing US$ 50 million [ICRA]A (Stable) assigned Commercial Paper Rs 1500 crore [ICRA]A1 outstanding ICRA has assigned a long term rating of [ICRA]A (pronounced ICRA A)1 to Rs 2500 crore2 term loans and US$ 50 million external commercial borrowing (ECB) of Bharat Aluminium Company Limited (Balco). The outlook on the long term rating is Stable. Though the US$ 50 million ECB facility of the company is denominated in foreign currency, ICRA’s rating for the same is on national rating scale, as distinct from an international rating scale. ICRA also has rating of [ICRA]A1 outstanding for Rs 1500.00 crore commercial paper (CP) programme of Balco. The ratings take into account a significant decline in profits and cash accruals of the company in the current financial year because of continuing weak prices of aluminium. International aluminium prices, along with the premium, had fallen by ~16% in 2015-16 (FY2016), reflecting concerns regarding the global economy, particularly China, which is the largest producer and consuming country of the metal. Although ICRA takes note of the recent improvement in prices as a result of a few shut downs in global aluminium capacities, prices remain vulnerable to new production capacities that have been commissioned and are expected to ramp up production subsequently, especially given the weak aluminium demand outlook globally. Moreover, the benefit of the recent duty hike on import of aluminium into India would largely be neutralized by an increase in clean environment cess on coal.
