The full read
Desco Infratech, a ₹161 crore market-cap EPC contractor, has its first credit rating. India Ratings assigned 'IND BBB-/Stable/IND A3' to ₹11 crore in bank loan facilities. That amount is 6.8% of market cap and 9.3% of FY26 revenue. The investment-grade stamp is new ground for a company that works in city gas, power, and water for clients like BPCL, IOCL, and Adani Total Gas. The agency cited experienced promoters, strong revenue growth, and an order book, but flagged execution risk and customer concentration. A first-time rating of this size for a company this small is less about the debt itself and more about the signal. Desco now has a formal credit profile to show banks.
