Detailed Rationale

CRISIL Ratings has assigned its 'CRISIL AAA/Stable’ rating to the long-term borrowing programme of Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd (PGCIL). The ratings on the remaining debt programmes and bank loan facilities have been reaffirmed at 'CRISIL AAA/Stable/CRISIL A1+'.

 

The rating on bonds worth Rs 5,080.52 crore (see Annexure 'Details of Rating Withdrawn') has been withdrawn, as the instruments have been fully redeemed. The action is in line with CRISIL Ratings’ policy on withdrawal of ratings.

 

As the company is in the power transmission sector, which is an essential service, operations were unaffected by the nationwide lockdown imposed by the government to contain the Covid-19 pandemic. However, there were delays in receipt of payments from power distribution companies (discoms). Monthly collection efficiency, which is usually over 95%, fell to around 50% in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. However, with the lifting of lockdown restrictions as well as the liquidity injection for discoms announced by the Ministry of Finance, collection efficiency increased to over 100% from July 2020 and averaged around 95% for the nine months ended December 31, 2020.

 

In January 2021, the company sponsored the Powergrid Infrastructure Investment Trust (Powergrid InvIT; rated ‘Provisional CCR AAA/Stable’). It will divest five of its operational transmission assets to the InvIT and is expected to receive around Rs 8,000 crore in the transaction. These funds should support future capital expenditure (capex) requirement. The planned capex of Rs 7,500 crore for fiscal 2022 would be partly funded by debt.

 

The ratings continue to reflect strong operating metrics, as seen in line availability continuing to exceed the normative level of 98% and the high collection efficiency. Revenue growth should remain steady over the medium term, supported by healthy capitalisation. These strengths are partially offset by the weak credit risk profiles of customers

Analytical Approach

For arriving at the ratings, CRISIL Ratings has combined the business and financial risk profiles of PGCIL and its subsidiaries, as the companies are in the same business and under a common management. Strategic importance to the Government of India (GoI) has also been factored into the ratings, because of the critical role the company plays in inter-state power transmission.

 

Please refer Annexure - Details of Consolidation, which captures the list of entities considered and their analytical treatment of consolidation.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description

Strengths:

* Strategic importance to the government

The company plays a vital role in the development of India’s power sector. It owns about 85% of the interstate transmission network, and carries around 45% of total power generated in the country. Moreover, the strong project implementation capability should help to ensure that projects of strategic importance, of compressed implementation timelines, or involving difficult terrain or other complexities, will continue to be awarded to the comany on nomination basis. In the past, the government has extended equity support for capex and has also guaranteed loans availed from multilateral lending agencies.

 

* Favourable regulatory framework, ensuring secured and stable cash flow

The regulatory framework is structured by Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC), which helps to generate stable revenue and cash flow. Tariff recovery is linked to transmission network availability maintained by the company and is not impacted by actual power transmitted through the network that could be extraneous to its control. Also, the tariff structure ensures recovery of all expenses, including debt-servicing charges, and provides for a fixed return on equity (RoE), if the company adheres to operational benchmarks. The tariff structure also ensures recovery of annual obligation for debt contracted to finance capex in transmission projects and funded in a debt-to-equity mix of 70:30.

 

Currently, a large part of the asset base is on the regulated RoE structure, resulting in secured and stable cash flow, mitigating any immediate pressure on profitability from increased participation of private sector players through the competitive bidding route.

 

* Strong operating efficiency, resulting in full recovery of cost

Strong operating efficiency has helped surpass operational benchmarks set by CERC—system availability was over 99% in fiscal 2020, against the benchmark of 98%. As per the regulator’s stipulation, this ensured recovery of the entire cost, including debt-servicing charges, and provided for RoE. The regulated tariff structure and superior operating efficiency lend stability to cash flow. As the company owns and manages most of the inter-regional transmission network, its customer profile is diversified, reducing counterparty concentration risk.

 

* Healthy financial flexibility supported by strong cash accrual

Cash accrual of over Rs 17,000 crore per fiscal provides significant flexibility to raise funds despite a leveraged capital structure. The cash accrual is backed by a regulated tariff structure, which ensures recovery of all expenses, including repayment of loans, and strong operating efficiency. To fund its projects, the company contracts long-term debt for a tenure of 10 years and more. Debt servicing begins only after new projects become operational and start generating revenue. Furthermore, the tariff structure for the assets won through nomination ensures recovery of the amount of debt repaid as approved by CERC every year. Thus, there is no asset-liability mismatch.

 

Weakness:

* Weak credit risk profiles of customers

State power utilities (SPUs), which account for the entire revenue, are the weak link in the value chain from a credit profile perspective. The risk is mitigated by strong collection efficiency with SPUs paying on time. Furthermore, adequate letters of credit have been opened in favour of the company by SPUs as per the settlement scheme. Moreover, as the owner of most inter-regional transmission networks, the company has a diversified customer profile. As per CERC’s regulations, the company, as the central transmission utility (CTU) had to carry out billing, collection, and disbursement for all inter-state transmission system (ISTS) licensees, based on the point of connection methodology of allocation of transmission charges. As the sole collection agency of all ISTS networks in India, The company’s ability to negotiate with designated ISTS customers has increased. Moreover, it also has authority to regulate power to defaulting customers as per CERC’s norms, which it could use in exceptional circumstances. From April 2021, the CTU function has been transferred from PGCIL into a new entity, Central Transmission Utility of India Ltd (CTUIL). While CTUIL is currently wholly owned by PGCIL, it is eventually expected to have an independent shareholding under the Government of India. CRISIL Ratings will continue to monitor developments in this regard.

Liquidity: Superior

Healthy cash accrual of over Rs 17,000 crore per fiscal should suffice to cover debt obligation. Liquidity is also supported by a cash balance of Rs 7,429 crore as on September 30, 2020. Furthermore, the regulated tariff structure for the assets won through nomination ensures recovery of the amount of debt repaid as approved by CERC every year. 

Outlook: Stable

PGCIL should maintain a robust financial risk profile over the medium term, despite the planned debt-funded capex, backed by strong operating efficiency and the regulated tariff regime. The company should also continue to benefit from its strategic importance to India’s power sector, given its role in developing and operating the national power transmission network.

Rating Sensitivity factors

Downward factors

  • Significant delays or default in payments by SPUs
  • Adverse impact of any changes in the regulatory regime

About the Company

PGCIL was incorporated in 1989 to set up extra-high voltage alternating current and high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission lines. The company moves large blocks of power from the central generating agencies and areas that have surplus power to load centres within and across regions. It is under the administrative control of the Ministry of Power, GoI. The company owns and operates an extensive nationwide network of transmission lines, which mainly comprise 400-kilovolt transmission lines and HVDC transmission systems, carrying more than 45% of the total power generated in India. As on December 31, 2020, it owned and operated a transmission line network of 1,68,000 circuit kilometre and 253 substations, with a transformer capacity of over 4,25,000 megavolt ampere.

 

For the nine months ended December 31, 2020, on a consolidated basis, net profit was Rs 8,510 crore on an operating income of Rs 29,129 crore, against Rs 7,746 crore and Rs 27,595 crore, respectively, in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal.
