Fitch assigns Negative Outlook to Adani Energy, cites US probe risks
Fitch Ratings has removed energy infrastructure company Adani Energy Solutions (AESL) from its 'Ratings Watch Negative' list and assigned a Negative Outlook, it said in a statement on Monday. The agency cited concerns over ongoing US investigations that could reveal governance weaknesses and affect financial stability. The agency warned that the outcome of the probe could impact the company's credit profile.
It had affirmed the long-term foreign- and local-currency issuer default ratings at 'BBB-'.
«The risks associated with the group's liquidity and funding requirements have moderated,» Fitch said in a statement, adding that the proceedings and outcome of the US investigations could reveal that the group's corporate governance practices are weaker than it expected, potentially leading to negative rating action in the near to medium term.
Last November, post the US indictment, Fitch Ratings had placed AESL and Adani Electricity Mumbai (AEML) on a «Rating Watch Negative,» signalling a potential downgrade for their 'BBB-' ratings.
Fitch assessed that the indictment for alleged securities and wire fraud reflects a corporate governance risk for AESL.
