Adani Atomic Energy, a subsidiary of Adani Power, incorporated Coastal?Maha Atomic Energy to generate, transmit and distribute power derived from nuclear and atomic sources. The company was incorporated with an authorised capital of Rs 0.5 million (mn), divided into 50,000 equity shares of Rs 10 each. Coastal?Maha is owned by Adani Atomic Energy, which in turn is wholly owned by Adani Power.

Separately, rating agency ICRA assigned an ICRA AA/Stable rating to additional term loan facilities and an ICRA A1+ rating to short?term non?fund based facilities, while reaffirming existing ratings on bank facilities and non?convertible debentures. The combined rated facilities stand at approximately Rs 690 billion (bn), comprising long?term fund?based term loans of Rs 352.237 bn, long?term fund?based term loans of Rs 150.5 bn, short?term non?fund based bank guarantees of Rs 77.263 bn and NCDs of Rs 110 bn. ICRA indicated that an ICRA AA rating denotes a high degree of safety in timely servicing of financial obligations and that ICRA A1+ indicates very strong short?term capacity.
