JSW Steel (JSWSTEEL) — Announcement

📢 Key Event
ICRA upgraded JSW Steel's long-term rating to AA+ and removed it from positive watch.

🔄 What Changed
Leverage ratio improved to below 2.5x; rating watch status removed

🔮 What's Next
Adjusted net leverage expected to remain below 2.5x over next 3-4 years

💡 Investor Takeaway
The rating upgrade signals stronger financial health and lower leverage, improving investor confidence in JSW Steel's debt capacity and operational performance.

⚠️ Risks
Prolonged demand weakness or unanticipated debt-funded capex could push leverage above 2.5x

ICRA upgraded JSW Steel's long-term rating to AA+ from AA and removed it from a positive watch, citing debt reduction from the Bhushan Power asset sale that lowers leverage below 2.5x. Operating profit per tonne rose to Rs. 11,134 in FY2026, with expectations of sustained margins above Rs. 11,000 in FY2027 driven by capacity expansions. Strong liquidity of Rs. 41,151 crore cash supports debt servicing and capex plans, while adjusted net leverage remains near 2.0x base case. The upgrade reflects improved leverage and cash flow, though risks include demand weakness or unanticipated debt-funded capex pushing leverage above 2.5x.
