India's BHEL assigned 'AAA(ind)' rating - Fitch

MUMBAI (Thomson Financial) - Fitch Ratings said it assigned a national long-term issuer rating of 'AAA(ind)' to Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd. (BHEL) with a stable outlook.

The ratings reflect BHEL's strong business position as a market leader among the power generation equipment manufacturers in India, its technological capabilities in supplying power generation equipment across various fuels/capacities and a significantly large order book 4.5 times of its 2007 revenues.

The ratings are supported by the company's superior financial position consisting of large cash balances, a negligible debt, growing profitability and free cash flows also give support to the ratings.
