The long-term rating for ABREL’s bank loan facilities and non-convertible debentures (NCDs) has been affirmed at ‘Crisil AA/Stable’.

Stable Outlook and Short-Term Strength
Alongside the reaffirmation, CRISIL has assigned a ‘Stable’ outlook to the long-term ratings. Furthermore, ABREL’s short-term bank facilities and commercial paper programme have also had their ratings reaffirmed at ‘Crisil A1+’. These ratings reflect the company’s strong financial profile and its strategic positioning within the real estate sector.
Key Factors Supporting Ratings
The rating rationale highlights ABREL’s growing presence in the domestic residential real estate segment and steady cash flow generation from its commercial real estate assets. The company’s business risk profile has been supported by healthy sales and collections, along with a well-balanced distribution of projects. The financial risk profile remains stable, supported by prudent working capital management and the company’s ability to access need-based financial support from the AB group.
Strategic Developments and Outlook
The reaffirmation follows the completion of a business transfer agreement with ITC Ltd for the sale of ABREL’s pulp and paper undertaking, with proceeds being utilized for debt repayment and business development. The company is focused on expanding its scale of operations, supported by a significant launch pipeline and healthy saleability in ongoing projects, while maintaining low leverage. The outlook remains ‘Stable’, with CRISIL believing the company will continue to increase its scale of operations over the medium term.
