International rating agencies have upgraded and reaffirmed the credit ratings for Adani Group companies, which is a significant boost to the Adani Group. This includes Moody's and S&P reiterating their ratings for eight companies and giving five entities a stable outlook.
All of the Adani Group's companies' ratings have been maintained by Fitch, a reputable rating agency that has a stable outlook and supports the upward trend. The collective rating actions are the result of consistent quarter-over-quarter strong performance, availability of capital at market-see-through prices, and lack of tail risk that could potentially cause a downturn.A company's credit rating serves as an indicator of its ability to meet its financial obligations, and changes to these ratings frequently have an impact on stock prices.

In a statement, Moody's emphasized that the Adani Group had successfully completed a number of debt transactions, including refinancing and acquiring new loan facilities.
The Group has finished a number of debt transactions in the intervening time, such as refinancing and acquiring new loan facilities, indicating its continuous availability of debt capital at a fair price.
The Adani Group's consistent access to the equity market was demonstrated by the report's mention of high-profile equity transactions by significant institutional and strategic investors like GQG and Qatar Investment Authority.In February of last year, the ratings of the four companies were revised to 'negative' following a stock market meltdown in the Adani Group, which was caused by accusations of market manipulation made by Hindenburg Research.

Since the Supreme Court ruled that market regulator SEBI was not responsible for any apparent regulatory failure, the Adani Group is no longer facing charges. S&P said that the fact that most regulatory investigations into the Adani Group ended without finding any evidence of wrongdoing has decreased downside risk. Restored access to funding is reflected in the repayment of all promoter loans associated with equity prices, share prices, and bank loans raised by various group entities at competitive rates.The high credit quality of the Adani Group, with steady and predictable cash flows across all of its issuers, is highlighted by these rating upgrades and affirmations. Now, among Indian private companies, the Adani Portfolio has the highest number of issuances of Investment Grade (BBB-/Baa3 and higher) ratings, which are equivalent to India's sovereign rating.
