What the company told the exchanges
- ICRA ESG Ratings Limited has issued a report dated 22nd October, 2026.
- In that report, the company's [ICRA ESG] Combined Rating has been upgraded to 60, Strong, from 59, Adequate.
- The upgrade was intimated to the National Stock Exchange and BSE under Regulation 30 and 51 of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
What an ESG rating is
An ESG rating is an outside assessment of how a company handles environmental, social and governance matters. It looks at things such as emissions and resource use, treatment of employees and communities, and board and disclosure practices. The rating here moves from the "Adequate" band to the "Strong" band, which is a step up in the rating scale used in the report.
Why the two numbers matter
- 59 is the rating the company held before this report.
- 60 is the rating assigned in the report dated 22nd October, 2026.
- The word used in the update is upgraded, and the descriptor attached to 60 is Strong, against Adequate for 59.
How a retail investor can read this
- It is a third-party view on the company's environmental, social and governance profile, not a statement about profits, debt or share price.
- An upgrade suggests the agency's assessment of that profile has improved relative to its earlier reading.
- The update is an intimation of the rating action; the report itself carries the reasoning behind the change.
What was not part of this intimation
The update communicates the rating action and nothing further. It is a disclosure of the upgrade to the stock exchanges for information and records.
