Additionally, ICRA Limited assigned an [ICRA]AAA (Stable) rating to the company's newly added bank loan facilities of ₹50,000 crore and reaffirmed existing ratings on October 21, 2026, while company leadership also hosted US officials in Jamnagar to outline long-term energy and deep-tech strategies.
