Rating: Reaffirmed Rationale/Description of Key Rating Drivers/Rating sensitivities: The rating with SO subscript primarily factors the support of JSW group and DMMPL's subsidiary DCPL's coke purchase agreement with JSW Steel. DMMPL has become wholly owned subsidiary of JSW Steel from October 2018 onward. It also factors the Put Option structure incorporated in the transaction through another group Company JSW Projects Ltd and the letter of comfort provided by JSW Investments Ltd. However, the rating is constrained by high dependence on the continued support from JSW Steel Ltd. in terms of purchase of entire coke from Dolvi Coke Projects Ltd. (DCPL) which is 100% owned by DMML and the tail risk embedded in the issue should the merger with JSW Steel does not go through. However, 1.5 MTPA project has started its commercial operation of Battery A (0.75 MTPA) w.e.f. 1 st November 1
2018 and Battery B (0.75 MTPA) is presently under trial run, which reduces the implementation risks. has essentially relied upon the terms of issue shared with us, financial results of DMML and JSW Steel for FY18, 9M FY19 and JSW Projects Ltd. for FY18 and information and clarifications provided by DMML. Description of Key Rating Drivers Credit Strengths: Promoter Support: DMML became wholly owned subsidiary of JSW Steel Ltd., post-acquisition of 60.004% of share capital of DMML in October 2018. JSW Investment Pvt. Ltd. has provided Letter of Comfort for the NCDs, and JSW Project Ltd. has provided Put option, which is owned by Sajjan Jindal Family Trust. JSW Projects has a 1.2 MTPA COREX gas based DRI plant. 3.42 MTPA of Coke Dry Quenching (CDQ) plant and 76 MW CPP at Vijayanagar.

Commercial operation of Battery A (0.75 MTPA) has started w.e.f. 1 st November 2018 and Battery B (0.75 MTPA) is presently under trial run. The Cost of project was ~Rs.2000 Crs, of which Rs.1930 Crs has been incurred as of Dec 18. Off take arrangement with JSWSL: DMML also has an agreement with JSWSL towards purchase of entire coke from Dolvi Coke Projects Ltd. (DCPL) which is 100% owned by DMML. Credit Risks: Tail Risk: Redemption of entire NCDs including premium, is due in Oct 19, which poses a tail risk. However, the project is almost completed and DMML is a wholly owned subsidiary of JSWSL. Further, JSWSL has filed a scheme of amalgamation of DMML, DCPL, JSPCL, and JSW Salav with JSW Steel in Nov 18. Post-merger, the redemption is expected to be from JSWSL cashflows, which mitigates the tail risk. Terms of the Issue: DMML raised Rs.700 Crores by issue of NCDs with a tenor of 5 years and 15 days in two tranches of Rs.350 Crs each. The NCDs was secured by pledge 40% equity shares of DMML held by JSW Steel Ltd. The terms of issue require the issuer to fund the Debt Service Account 15 days before the due date and also provide that if the issuer fails to provide required funds accordingly, the investors, through the debenture trustee can exercise the put option on JSW Projects Ltd. (JPL). In addition, another group company JSW Investments Pvt. Ltd. also provided a Letter of Comfort for the NCD issue by DMML.
