India’s First CRISIL ‘A’ Credit Rating for Solar Power Plant received by Astonfield

Astonfield Renewables, has been given the coveted A- credit rating on loan facilities for its 5 megawatt (MW) solar power plant in the state of Rajasthan.

The rating was awarded by the Credit Rating Information Services of India Limited (CRISIL), a division of the McGraw Hill Corporation and whose majority stakeholder is Standard & Poor’s. The “CRISIL A-/Stable” rating was given on long-term loan facilities.

The A- rating reflects the strong revenue visibility of Astonfield’s 5 MW solar power plant, driven by its 25 year power purchase agreement with NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam Ltd. with “better realisation  per unit and sound operational performance.” The plant has been in operation since 2011.
