VIS Reaffirms Entity Ratings of Lucky Renewables (Pvt.) Limited
Karachi, January 14, 2026: VIS Credit Rating Company Limited (VIS) reaffirms entity ratings of Lucky Renewables (Pvt.) Limited (“LRPL” or “the Company”) at 'A/A2' (Single A/A Two) with a “Stable” outlook. Medium to long term rating of ‘A' indicates good credit quality; protection factors are adequate. Risk factors may vary with possible changes in the economy. Short term rating of 'A2' indicates a good likelihood of timely repayment of short-term obligations with sound short-term liquidity factors. Previous rating action was announced on January 02, 2025.
LRPL was incorporated as a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), with a corporate structure of a private limited company, to exclusively develop a 50 MW Wind Power Project (‘the Project’) in Deh Kohistan, Jhimpir, District Thatta. The Project is supplying electricity to the national grid on a regular basis post-commencing commercial operations in September 2021. The Company is a subsidiary of Lucky Textile Mills Limited (‘the Parent Company’) which owns 51% shareholding. Y.B. Holdings (Private) Limited is the ultimate parent company. The principal activity of the Company is to sell electricity by whatever means, including wind-mill. The registered office of the Company is situated at LuckyOne Mall, Main Rashid Minhas Road, Karachi.
The assigned ratings reflect LRPL’s stable business profile under a long-term Energy Purchase Agreement with CPPA-G, supported by sovereign guarantees, which provides predictable cash flows and limits exposure to market risk. The ratings also incorporate the Company’s association with the Yunus Brother Group, supporting governance standards and financial flexibility. While profitability and coverage metrics weakened in FY25 due to lower tariffs, reduced generation, and load curtailments, as well as the absence of one-off true-up tariff adjustments recognized in the preceding year, these pressures were partly offset by declining finance costs and improving leverage through scheduled debt amortization. The recovery in operational performance and liquidity indicators observed in 1QFY26 underpins the assigned ratings.
