Fitch Rating has upgraded Nectar Lifesciences’ long-term bank facilities rating to ‘A-(ind)’ from ‘BBB+ (ind)’ with stable outlook. The rating agency has also upgraded rating of Rs 490 crore long-term loans facilities of the company to ‘A-(ind)’ from ‘BBB+(ind)’, upgraded Rs 350 crore fund-based limits of the company to ‘A-(ind)/F1(ind)’ from ‘BBB+(ind)/’F2+(ind)’ and upgraded the company’s Rs 280 crore non-fund based limits to ‘F1(ind)’ from ‘F2+(ind)’.
