Moody's says it needs more clarity on demerger.

Economic Times (New Delhi, India), August, 2005

Aug. 9--MUMBAI, India -- MOODY'S Investors Service said that it requires greater clarity on the demerger plans of RIL before it concludes its review, reports Our Mumbai Bureau. Moody's had said in March '05 that it is considering a possible upgrade of RIL. Subsequently, in June, it said that it is awaiting details on the restructuring.

RIL's foreign currency notes and bonds, which are currently rated at Ba2, are being reviewed for a possible grade. RIL's current rating is two notches below India's sovereign rating of Baa3. So far, only State Bank of India (SBI), the country's largest bank, is rated a notch above the India rating at Baa2. The Baa3 rating is the lowest grade in the investment category, while Ba2 is a sub-investment grade rating.
