How might IndiGrid's security cover ratios evolve if interest rates rise significantly, potentially compressing the market value of its 40 subsidiary SPVs and tightening the current 1.60x market value coverage?
Given that unsecured loans to subsidiaries constitute the largest asset class at INR 2,23,675.77 million, what risks could emerge if any of the 40 SPVs face operational or regulatory challenges affecting their ability to service these inter-company loans?
With INR 1,48,770.67 million in outstanding NCDs and INR 59,327.34 million in term loans, how is IndiGrid positioned to refinance its debt obligations over the next 2–3 years amid evolving credit market conditions in India?
