• High growth in profits has led to a sharp reduction in the leverage of portfolio companies—portfolio-level Net Debt to EBITDA has reduced from 3.8x in FY19 to as low as 2.6x now.
• Robust financial performance across businesses has resulted in consistent ratings improvement with milestone achievement in FY25. Nearly 90% of EBITDA is now generated from assets with domestic ratings of ‘AA- ‘and above, as compared to 63% and 48% two and six years ago, respectively.
