UltraTech Cement announced that Fitch Ratings has affirmed India-based UltraTech Cement's Long-Term Foreign- and Local-Currency Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs) at 'BBB-'. The Outlook is Stable. Fitch has also affirmed UltraTech's USD400 million 2.80% senior unsecured notes
due 2031 at 'BBB-'.
The ratings incorporate Fitch Ratings' expectation of a modest leverage profile, with EBITDA net leverage sustained around 1.5x; a leading market position in India; a large market with robust long term demand-growth potential; and cost-efficient operations.
