CRISIL and ICRA have assigned 'CRISIL AAA/Stable' and '[ICRA]AAA (Stable)' ratings to Sun Pharma's proposed Rs 15,000 crore Non-Convertible Debenture (NCD) program, while reaffirming existing AAA/A1+ ratings. The credit rating factors in Sun Pharma's proposed $11.75 billion acquisition of US-based Organon & Co. announced in April 2026. Sun Pharma plans to fund the deal via $2.0-2.5 billion in internal cash and $9.5-10.0 billion in additional debt, driving Net Debt to EBITDA to 1.5-2.0x in FY28 before rapid deleveraging.
