What a credit rating is

A credit rating is an agency's opinion on a borrower's ability to repay what it borrows. An upgrade means the agency now views the borrower's credit profile as stronger than when it last rated it. The rating covers the bank facilities mentioned in the update, and the total size of facilities rated is Rs. 500 Crore.

Why the subsidiary matters here

Religare Broking Ltd is described in the update as a wholly owned subsidiary of Religare Enterprises Ltd. The rating action is on the subsidiary's bank facilities, so the immediate effect is on how lenders and counterparties view that subsidiary's borrowings. Any read-across to the listed parent is indirect, through its ownership of the subsidiary.

What investors can take away

Both the long term and the short term ratings have moved up from the levels printed in the update.
The upgrade was announced by the credit rating agency and passed on to the exchanges by the company.
The rating is an agency opinion and can change again; it is not a guarantee of repayment or of future performance.
The update does not change the company's share count, ownership or the shares held by anyone; it is an information disclosure about a subsidiary's borrowing profile.

How to read this

An upgrade of a subsidiary's facilities is generally read as a positive development on the credit side, since a better-rated borrower often finds it easier to raise or roll over funds. The size of the rated facilities, Rs. 500 Crore, gives a sense of the borrowing this opinion applies to.
