Detailed Rationale

CRISIL has reaffirmed its ratings on the bank facilities and debt instruments of The Tata Power Company Limited (Tata Power) at 'CRISIL AA-/Positive/CRISIL A1+'. CRISIL has withdrawn its rating on the Rs 41 crore NCDs on receipt of repayment confirmation from the trustee. The rating action is in line with CRISIL's policy on withdrawal of ratings.
 
The Positive outlook reflects expectation of improvement in Tata Power's credit risk profile on potential implementation of the high power committee (HPC) recommendations for Coastal Gujarat Pvt Ltd (CGPL, rated 'CRISIL A-/CRISIL AA-(CE)/Positive/CRISIL A1+(CE)'), a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Power. Furthermore, CRISIL expects continued deleveraging through sale of non-core assets such as the strategic engineering division (SED).
 
In October 2018, HPC recommended sharing the losses incurred in CGPL between consumers, lenders, and developers. The HPC's key recommendations include i) pass-through of fuel costs subject to a cap of USD110 per tonne; (ii) lenders sacrifice a fixed deduction of 20 paise/kilowatt hour (p/kWh); (iii) Tata Power share 100% of profits from Indonesian mines subject to a floor of 15p/kWh; and; (iv) increase the normative plant availability factor to 90% (from the current 80%) for the same capacity charges.
 
Post the HPC recommendation, in January 2019, Supreme Court ruled that power purchase agreements (PPAs) could be amended with distribution companies (discoms) subject to Central Electricity Regulatory Commission's (CERC) approval. While Tata Power continues to engage with the five discoms it supplies to (Gujarat, Haryana, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, and Punjab), CRISIL believes a change in CGPL's PPA, in line with HPC recommendations, could reduce its under recovery to around 15-20p/kWh from the current 60-65p/kWh. This follows the update on another Mundra asset; that got the PPA amended and approved by CERC.
 
Furthermore, the company's consolidated leverage profile has improved over the past one year, with adjusted debt/EBITDA of around 4.9 times in fiscal 2019 from 5.3 times in fiscal 2018; supported by increased profitability (from renewable and regulated business) coupled with divestment of non-core assets (Tata Communications and Panatone Investments) and part realisation of Arutmin's sale proceeds in fiscal 2019. Implementation of HPC recommendation for CGPL and ongoing monetisation of non-core assets (including SED business and international projects) could further improve Tata Power's overall leverage profile.
 
The rating could be upgraded if the HPC recommendation is implemented, and there is continued deleveraging. The outlook could be revised to 'Stable' if the recommendations are not implemented or inordinately delayed or if leverage remains elevated.
 
The ratings reflect Tata Power's stable cash accrual from regulated businesses, which account for more than 40% of total capital employed; diversified business risk profile; and robust financial flexibility, being a part of the Tata group. These strengths are partially offset by continued losses in CGPL on account of unviable project economics; declining dividends from Indonesian coal investments, and moderate leverage and debt protection metrics.

Analytical Approach

For arriving at its ratings, CRISIL has used a combination of full and proportionate consolidation of Tata Power's companies.

CRISIL has fully consolidated 40 subsidiaries of Tata Power because these entities form a core part of Tata Power's business risk profile. These include Tata Power's Delhi Distribution Company Ltd; CGPL; Maithon Power Ltd (MPL, 'CRISIL AA-/Positive/CRISIL A1+'), operating the 1050-megawatt (MW) thermal power plant at Maithon in Jharkhand; Tata Power Renewables Energy Ltd (TPREL, 'CRISIL AA-/Positive/CRISIL A1+') and Walwhan Renewable Energy Ltd (WREL, 'CRIISL AA-/Positive') executing renewable projects for Tata Power; power trading arm Tata Power Trading Company Ltd; transmission subsidiary Powerlinks Transmission Ltd ( 'CRISIL AAA/Stable/CRISIL A1+'; a joint venture with Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd ['CRISIL AAA/Stable/CRISIL A1+']); Industrial Energy Ltd; Tata Power Solar Systems Ltd ('CRISIL AA-/Positive/CRISIL A1+'); and the special-purpose vehicles formed for the acquisition of coal entities in Indonesia, including Bhira Investments, Bhivpuri Investments, and Khopoli Investments. 

CRISIL has also proportionately consolidated 12 joint ventures and associate companies to the extent of its shareholding in these entities, to reflect support to the extent of its interests in these businesses. These companies include coal operating entities in Indonesia - 30% in PT Kaltim Prima Coal and 26% in PT Baramulti Suksessarana Tbk.

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

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Strengths
* Stable cash accrual from regulated businesses
Tata Power earns stable income from its regulated businesses such as power generation and distribution in Mumbai, distribution business in New Delhi, the 1050 MW capacity of MPL and its transmission businesses. These accounted for over 45% of consolidated EBITDA in fiscal 2019, and provide stable cash flow. Tata Power's credit risk profile will continue to benefit from steady returns in regulated businesses, which will provide stable cash accrual. The PPA of the power generation business for Mumbai (Trombay assets for around 800 MW), which was due for renewal in March 2019 was subsequently renewed for five years till fiscal 2024. Any material decline in the proportion of cash accrual from the stable, regulated businesses will remain a rating sensitive factor.
 
* Diversified business risk profile with presence across generation, transmission, and distribution businesses and across energy types
Tata Power had around 11 gigawatt (GW) capacity as on March 31, 2019, in both the thermal and clean energy generation business, which includes around 2.5 GW of renewable energy capacity through TPREL and WREL. Its presence across the value chain of the power sector - generation, transmission, and distribution, power trading, as well as fuel supply (imported coal mining and shipping); helps it achieve operating efficiencies, effective execution, and better working capital management at the group level.
 
* Robust financial flexibility
Financial flexibility is strong, characterised by stable cash accrual from existing businesses and adequate liquidity. Financial flexibility is also supported by being a part of the Tata group, which enhances access to the capital market and the banking system. Tata Power, including its subsidiaries, has been able to refinance more than Rs 10,000 crore of debt in fiscal 2019 at competitive pricing. Financial flexibility is further supported by investment in various Tata group entities such as Tata Projects Ltd ('CRISIL A1+'), which it plans to divest.
 
Weaknesses
* Unviable project economics of CGPL, and reducing dividend from coal companies
Nearly 25% of Tata Power's total capital employed is invested in CGPL, which continues to make losses on account of unviable project economics, adversely impacting credit risk profile. CGPL's unfavourable project economics are primarily on account of the 55% non-escalable variable charges component in the tariff.
 
Tata Power has supported CGPL losses by infusing an aggregate of Rs 9,000 crore till March 31, 2019, in the form of perpetual securities, equity, and inter-company loans; in addition to the initial equity commitment of Rs 4,250 crore towards 25% of the estimated project cost. CGPL has made efforts to improve operating efficiencies and minimise under recoveries through procurement of coal from various sources. With debt refinancing and restructuring in fiscal 2019, the cash support required by CGPL from parent is expected to reduce substantially, though elevated, for the next three years.
 
Nevertheless, the coal mines in Indonesia are likely to continue to provide a partial natural hedge to CGPL's operations. Dividends from the coal mines are lower than CGPL's support requirements including debt repayments, thereby necessitating support from Tata Power. The quantum of dividends from these coal companies have further reduced in fiscal 2019 owing to the domestic market obligations enforced by the Indonesian government.
 
Furthermore, with improved visibility of adoption of HPC recommendation, the losses of CGPL and corresponding support from Tata Power could sharply reduce over the medium term. Timely implementation of the HPC recommendations would be a key rating monitorable.
 
* High leverage, albeit correction expected over the medium term
Tata Power has a leveraged capital structure, with consolidated debt/EBITDA ratio, though reduced, at 4.9 times. Adjusted consolidated debt reduced to around Rs 48,747 crore as on March 31, 2019, from Rs 49,410 crore in the previous fiscal, owing to divestments proceeds of Rs 1,897 crore received in fiscal 2019, which was partially offset by capital expenditure (capex) towards renewables and increase in working capital requirement across various subsidiaries.
 
Tata Power's planned divestments of its non-core assets (defense business) and international projects is expected to be realised over the medium term. Additionally, it is yet to realise a part of the proceeds from the sale of PT Arutmin Indonesia and associated companies (Arutmin) of around Rs 1,800 crore. Consequently, this is expected to improve the debt/EBITDA ratio over the medium term. The sale of non-core investments is expected to complete in fiscals 2020 and 2021. Any significant delay in correction of debt/EBITDA will remain a key rating sensitivity factor.

Liquidity: Strong
Liquidity is strong, driven by expected cash accrual of around Rs 3,700 crore per annum in fiscals 2020 and 2021 as well as cash and investments of Rs 954 crore as on March 31, 2019. Tata Power also has access to fund-based limit of Rs 2,555 crore, which has moderate utilisation (including commercial paper). CRISIL believes the company has sufficient accrual and cash and cash equivalents to meet debt obligation and partly finance capex and investment requirements in various subsidiaries. Unutilised bank limits are more than adequate to meet incremental working capital needs in the next one year.
Outlook: Positive

Tata Power's outlook reflects improved visibility on the implementation of the HPC recommendation for CGPL. CRISIL believes this could substantially reduce CGPL's losses. Furthermore, the company's non-core asset sales could help it further reduce its leverage.

Rating sensitivity factors
Upward Factor
* Revision of PPAs and implementation in line with HPC recommendations
* Debt to EBITDA expected to sustain below the range of 4-4.2x.

Downward Factor
* Delay or increased likelihood of non-implementation of HPC recommendation
* Debt to EBITDA expected to sustain above 4.5x.

We rate the entire range of debt instruments, such as, bank loans, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, non-convertible / convertible / partially convertible bonds and debentures, perpetual bonds, bank hybrid capital instruments, asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, partial guarantees and other structured debt instruments. We have rated over 24,500 large and mid-scale corporates and financial institutions.
