The downgrade comes in response to ongoing delays in the servicing of Gensol Engineering’s term loan obligations.
Gensol Engineering Ltd. saw its share price plummet by 20% on Tuesday, hitting the lower circuit, after the stock received a rating downgrade from CARE Ratings on Tuesday. The downgrade comes in response to delays in servicing term loan obligations.
CARE Ratings has revised the ratings for GEL’s bank facilities, downgrading the long-term bank facilities to CARE D from CARE BB+; Stable, and the long-term/short-term bank facilities to CARE D from CARE BB+; Stable/CARE A4+. The rating action aligns with CARE’s policy on default recognition, following feedback from GEL’s lenders regarding delays in debt servicing.
