MeECL's subsidiaries in servicing debt obligations to Power Finance Corporation (PFC) and Rural Electrification Corporation Limited (REC) in the past, which are not guaranteed by the GoMe. The liquidity position of consolidated MeECL will continue to remain a point of concern. 

The company’s weak financial risk profile is marked by reducing net worth. The tangible net worth of the company has been eroded due to continuous accumulated losses. 

MeECL continues to be exposed to regulatory uncertainty, given that the revenues are influenced by the regulatory framework governing the power sector. The company operates through a cost-plus return on equity model laid down by MSERC. Any change/ reduction in return on equity or a tightening of the MSERC norms could result in lower operating cash flow

The issuer has made timely interest payments.
