GODREJ INDUSTRIES : market value of GIL’s shareholding in listed group companies was Rs 65,611

  • Crisil Ratings has assigned its ‘Crisil AA+/Stable’ rating to Rs 2,000 crore non-convertible debentures (NCDs) of Godrej Industries Ltd (GIL) while reaffirming its rating on the NCDs worth Rs 6,250 crore and commercial paper programme at ‘Crisil AA+/Stable/Crisil A1+’
  • The ratings continue to reflect strong financial flexibility arising from GIL’s shareholding in the listed group companies which have healthy credit profiles. 
  • GIL has a track record of maintaining healthy net debt cover (Crisil Ratings adjusted ratio of total market value of investments to net debt) of 6-10 times over the past five fiscals through 2025. 
  • The market value of GIL’s shareholding in listed group companies was Rs 65,611 crore against net debt of Rs 9,696 crore (netting off cash balance of Rs 684 crore) as on August 31, 2025. 
  • Further, GIL’s investment amounting to Rs 3,454 crore as on June 30, 2025, in Godrej Capital Ltd (GCL) provides additional financial flexibility. 
  • While the net debt may increase over the medium term to up to Rs 12,000 crore, the management has articulated to always maintain a net debt cover of well above 4.75 times. 
  • Crisil Ratings also factors in GIL’s management’s stance on monetisation of its investments, if required, to support cash flow mismatches as well as maintenance of healthy net debt cover. 
  • Further, GIL continues to benefit from strong reputation of the Godrej group among lenders and investors in the capital markets.
  • GIL continues to invest in GCL, the subsidiary engaged in financial services, to fund its growth plans. 
  • These infusions have resulted in increase in GIL’s adjusted gearing to 5.98 times as on March 31, 2025 from 4.03 times as on March 31, 2023. 
  • While comfort is derived from the significant market value of quoted investments relative to overall debt planned, higher-than-expected outflow towards group companies will remain a key rating sensitivity factor. 
  • GIL’s credit risk profile will also remain susceptible to market risk and large refinancing requirements.
  • Dividend income from listed group companies and operating profit from chemical business are expected to be sufficient to service the interest expense.
  • With respect to the company’s chemical business, operating income and profit before interests and taxes (PBIT) margin witnessed a recovery to Rs 3,392 crore and 10.6%, respectively, in fiscal 2025 against Rs 2,697 crore and 9.4%, respectively in the previous fiscal. 
  • This was on account of increased sale volumes and higher realisations following substantial revenue de-growth of 35% in fiscal 2024. 
  • The operating income and PBIT margin stood at Rs 883 crore and 9.7%, respectively in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 (Q1 2026) as compared to Rs 732 crore and 10.7% for the corresponding period in fiscal 2025.
