JM Financial flags rate-hike risks for power utilities
In short
JM Financial looked at JSW Energy, Suzlon, IEX, Tata Power, NTPC and CIL after the RBI raised the repo rate to 5.5%. It also weighed a ₹12 lakh crore spending cycle in the power sector.
This matters because higher borrowing costs can squeeze power companies. The reporting does not say which firm is most exposed or whether any forecast was changed.
What the reporting says
