We believe that the outlook for JSW Steel is positive, underpinned by: [1] capacity growth, especially the scheduled commencement of a 5 mtpa Dolvi expansion in Q3/21-22; and [2] high steel prices and good product spreads. Leverage is modest and will likely improve further, while liquidity is adequate. The event risk associated with the acquisition of BPSL is partly contained by the sharing structure, with JSW owning only 49% for now (option to increase to 83%). We expect positive rating pressure, particularly for Fitch. JSW is currently rated Ba2 (positive) / BB- (positive) by Moody's / Fitch. We believe Fitch may upgrade JSW's ratings by FYE 2021-22, as the company's leverage may meet the positive triggers if the operating environment does not deteriorate sharply.
