CARE Downgrades Vindhya Telelinks Ratings to 'A'; Places on Watch Amid Rising Debt and BCL Merger

🔴 NEGATIVE ⭐ 8/10

REGULATORY 📅 01 Apr 2026, 08:22 PM

CARE Ratings has downgraded Vindhya Telelinks Limited's (VTL) long-term bank facilities to 'CARE A' and short-term facilities to 'CARE A1' due to a significant moderation in its financial and operational profile. The downgrade is driven by slow execution in the EPC segment, particularly the Jal Jeevan Mission, which has led to a surge in debtors to ₹2,191.85 crore as of December 2025. Consequently, interest coverage has dropped to 1.37x in 9MFY26, and the debt-to-PBILDT ratio is expected to exceed 6x by FY26-end. The ratings are also on 'Rating Watch with Developing Implications' following the announced merger with Birla Cable Limited.

Long-term ratings downgraded to CARE A and short-term to CARE A1 for facilities totaling ₹5,167.15 crore.
Receivables increased sharply to ₹2,191.85 crore in Dec 2025 from ₹1,527.71 crore in March 2025.
Interest coverage ratio deteriorated to 1.37x in 9MFY26 compared to 2.65x in FY25.
Total Debt/PBILDT ratio is projected to remain high at above 6x for FY26 due to working capital pressure.
Healthy unexecuted order book of ₹5,812 crore as of December 31, 2025, provides revenue visibility.

💡 Investors should exercise caution as the company faces significant liquidity pressure and execution delays in its core EPC business. Monitor the progress of the Birla Cable merger and the company's ability to reduce its high receivable levels from government projects.
