of Surana Telecom and Power Limited (STPL) to 'Stable' from 'Negative',
while reaffirming the rating at 'CRISIL BB '; the rating on the
short-term facilities has been reaffirmed at 'CRISIL A4 '. The up
gradation in STPL's outlook reflects commissioning of, and
stabilization of operations at STPL's 5 megawatt- (MW) solar power
plant at Patan District (Gujarat). The company commissioned the project
on January 16, 2012, without any time overrun. The project cost was
about Rs.560 million, as against the previous estimate of Rs.630 million.
The project was funded in a conservative debt- equity mix of 47:53. The
revision also reflects CRISIL's belief that STPL will prudently fund
its growth plans to keep it gearing below 1 time over the medium term.
With constant changes in business models over the past eight years, any
aggressive shift in STPL's core business could adversely affect its
credit risk profile. The table mentioned below is the credit rating
