Detailed Rationale

Crisil Ratings has withdrawn its ratings on the bank facilities of Rane Engine Valve Limited (REVL) as per company’s request subsequent to completion of amalgamation of REVL with its group entities, Rane Madras Ltd (RML; ‘Crisil A+/Stable/Crisil A1’) and Rane Brake Linings Ltd (RBLL). These rated facilities are being moved to RML shortly. The withdrawal is in line with Crisil Ratings’ policy on withdrawal of bank loan ratings.

 

Resolution of watch and ratings action follows filing of final order received from National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) with appointed date of April 1, 2024, approving the scheme of amalgamation with Registrar of Companies(ROC). Earlier, the ratings were placed on watch, following the announcement by REVL at the stock exchanges on February 9, 2024, that its Board of Directors has approved a scheme of arrangement on a share-swap basis. As per the management, the scheme will result in increased operational synergies, significant reduction in multiplicity of legal and regulatory compliances, and cost-saving by reduction of overheads, administrative, managerial and other expenditure.

Analytical Approach

Post the amalgamation, REVL has been subsumed in RML. Earlier, Crisil Ratings had consolidated the business and financial risk profiles of REVL, and RBLL with RML and its subsidiaries, Rane (Madras) International Holdings B V, Netherlands (RMIH) and Rane Auto Components, Mexico (RACM).

 

Prior to the announcement of the merger,  support from Rane group was factored in while assessing the consolidated credit profile of REVL. To arrive at the group rating, Crisil Ratings had consolidated the operating entities of the Rane group and proportionately consolidated the operating joint ventures.
