Most rated companies shielded against Re slide: Moody’s

MUMBAI: Moody’s has said that most Indian companies it rates are insulated from the adverse effects of rupee depreciation due to mitigating factors. Among those negatively impacted are govt-owned

oil marketing companies

, Ola, and UltraTech Cement. OMCs face a currency mismatch, with marketing revenues tied to the rupee and feedstock costs in US dollars, but partial hedges through US dollar-linked fuel sales and govt support mitigate risks.
