Rating Action:

Moody's changes ratings outlook for eight Indian corporates to negative following sovereign outlook change

08 Nov 2019

Singapore, November 08, 2019 -- Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") has taken a number of rating actions on Indian non-financial corporates, following its earlier announcement that it has changed the outlook on India's Baa2 sovereign rating to negative from stable.

As a result of the sovereign rating action, Moody's has changed the outlook on the ratings of the following companies:

Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL): Affirmed Baa2 foreign currency issuer and senior unsecured debt ratings and revised outlook to negative from stable. Also affirmed the (P)Baa2 foreign currency senior unsecured rating on the MTN program. The ba1 baseline credit assessment (BCA) is affirmed.

Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd. (HPCL): Affirmed Baa2 foreign currency issuer and senior unsecured debt rating and revised outlook to negative from stable.

Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOCL): Affirmed Baa2 foreign currency issuer and senior unsecured debt ratings and revised outlook to negative from stable. The ba1 BCA is affirmed.

Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd. (ONGC): Affirmed Baa1 local and foreign currency issuer rating; revised outlook to negative from stable. Also affirmed the (P)Baa1 foreign and local senior unsecured ratings on the MTN program. The baa1 BCA is affirmed.

Oil India Limited (OIL): Affirmed Baa2 local and foreign currency issuer and foreign currency senior unsecured debt ratings; revised outlook to negative from stable. The baa3 BCA is affirmed.

Petronet LNG Limited (PLL): Affirmed Baa2 foreign currency issuer rating; revised outlook to negative from stable.

Infosys Limited (Infosys): Affirmed A3 local currency issuer rating and revised outlook to negative from stable.

Tata Consultancy Services Limited (TCS): Affirmed A3 local currency issuer rating and revised outlook to negative from stable.

A full list of affected ratings is provided towards the end of this press release.

RATINGS RATIONALE

The negative outlook reflects that Moody's will downgrade the ratings of these companies if Moody's downgrades the rating of India sovereign to Baa3 from Baa2.

"Ratings of IOCL, BPCL and OIL incorporate our expectation of support from the Indian government. Therefore a downgrade of the rating of the sovereign to Baa3 from Baa2 will result in downgrade of the respective Baa2 ratings of these companies," says Vikas Halan, a Moody's Senior Vice President.

"Although the Baa1 rating of ONGC does not incorporate any uplift because of support from the Indian government, it is constrained at no higher than one notch above the sovereign rating. Therefore a downgrade of the sovereign rating will also result in downgrade of the rating of ONGC. Further, the rating of HPCL, which also incorporates expectation of support from the government of India, through ONGC, will also be downgraded if we downgrade the rating of ONGC and the sovereign," adds Halan, who is the lead analyst for the Indian oil and gas companies at Moody's.

"PLL's rating is constrained by the credit quality of its key offtakers -- IOCL, BPCL and Gail (India) Limited. The respective ratings of these companies will be downgraded following a sovereign downgrade, which will then result in the downgrade of PLL," adds Halan.

"Ratings for Infosys and TCS are constrained to no more than two notches above the sovereign rating. Therefore a sovereign rating downgrade will also result in downgrade of the A3 ratings of Infosys and TCS," says Kaustubh Chaubal, a Moody's Vice President -- Senior Credit Officer.
