In our view, Vedanta Resources’ (VRL) H2 and FY 2020-21 results were in line with expectations, given that the company's key subsidiary Vedanta Limited reported its results a while ago. The main point of interest was the holdco's debt and liquidity levels. The company's strong earnings growth was mainly due to lower production costs. VRL's financial risk profile improved, as earnings growth more than offset the slightly higher debt. Liquidity is adequate on a consolidated basis, as well as at the holdco level. We expect positive rating pressure, on account of improved earnings and the ongoing corporate structure simplification. We revise our Credit Bias to “Stable” from “Negative”, due to the improved earnings on the back of the recovery in commodity prices.
