Issuer study · Construction materials · 46 entities in the group
You own, or are being offered, a bond from a company in the Infra.Market group: Hella Infra Market Retail, Hella Infra Market, RDC Concrete or Hella Chemical Market. This study explains how the group earns the money to pay it, who stands ahead of you, and what each rating agency says, then gives every bond its own card and a monthly routine for checking it. Each fact carries its source and date, with the company's own position beside it wherever one is on record.

The bonds here are amortising: the company hands back your principal in parts before the end, and every coupon after a part comes back is worked out on the smaller amount still owed. The rate stays the same. The rupees it pays shrink (chapter 12, weird bonds).
In 2026 3 companies in the Infra.Market group sold bonds with an 11% coupon paid every month and a face value of ₹10,000, the size a bond app sells. A 4th group company has bonds held by institutions only. Each bond is a loan to one of these 4 companies:1, 10, 34, 81
An ISIN is the 12 character code that names one security. It is printed on your demat statement, and its first 7 characters tell you which company owes you.
Sections 2 to 4 follow the money: what the group does, where the money for a coupon comes from, and who stands ahead of you if it runs short. Sections 5 to 8 read the opinions and the paper: the ratings, the promises, the record, and what falls due when. Section 9 gives every bond its own card. Section 10 is a monthly routine for a holder, and section 11 is the position on 20th Oct 2026.
Every bond on this page is a loan to one company in a group. What backs it, and who else has a claim on the same things, differs bond by bond. Your bond's card in section 9 sets it out.
The 4 companies share one parent, so the story starts with the group.
Acuité's rating release of 3rd Sep 2026 lists 46 companies under one parent: 19 held directly and 27 below them.26 India Ratings' list of 19th Feb 2025 had 18.21 Most of the new names are tile makers that joined in 2025.26
The business is building materials. India Ratings describes it as the supply of ready mix concrete (concrete mixed at a plant and delivered by truck), aggregates, fly ash, paints, construction chemicals, steel and cement. Some of it is made in the group's own plants, some by outside factories that make for it, and some is bought and sold on.15 In FY26, the year to 31st Mar 2026, concrete was 35.19% of group revenue, steel 21.06% and chemicals 6.09%, on Acuité's figures. Sales to businesses, not households, were 71.90%.26
HIML was incorporated on 15th Jul 2016 as Bizarro Infra Limited and took its present name on 3rd May 2018.1 Its founders are Aaditya Gajendra Sharda (DIN 07024283), its whole time director and chief operating officer, and Souvik Pulakesh Sengupta (DIN 07248395), its whole time director, chief executive from 11th Jul 2025 and chairman. A DIN is the number the government gives every company director. Both also sit on HIMRPL's board, Aaditya Sharda as its chief executive and Souvik Sengupta as its CFO.1, 52
Promoters are the people and companies that control a company. Shalimar Paints' notice for its 2026 shareholder meeting names Bizarro Advisory Limited and Silverline Homes Private Limited as HIML's promoters, with the 2 founders as their ultimate owners.39 Venture funds came in from 2019: Accel, Tiger Global and Nexus, among others.58, 59
Most product lines arrived by buying companies. RDC Concrete was bought from True North in December 2021, at an enterprise value (shares plus debt) of about ₹730 crore.20, 23, 60 A first stake in Shalimar Paints, a listed paint maker, came in February 2022, and control on 11th Mar 2024.35 Tile makers in Morbi joined in FY25 for ₹900 crore paid in HIML shares, and the Metro tile group in July 2025 for a reported ₹200 crore in shares.26, 64 A purchase of Strata Geosystems was announced in June 2023; Strata is on neither agency's later list of group companies.62, 21, 26
HIMRPL is 100% owned by HIML. It buys building materials and sells them on: 99.9% of its FY26 revenue of ₹1,542.37 crore was the sale of traded goods. It has no bank working capital lines.1 Hella Chemical Market is also 100% owned and trades chemicals.34 RDC makes ready mix concrete at about 140 plants. HIML held 96.44% of it on 31st Dec 2025, and its FY26 revenue of ₹2,818.85 crore was about 14% of the group's.10, 33, 28 HIML itself trades and distributes, and owns the rest. HIML owns 52.85% of Shalimar Paints, and all of that stake is pledged to lenders.36
Plate IM.1
Who owns whom, and who guarantees whom
The parent, the 4 companies with bonds and the main guarantees, from offer documents and rating releases, 2025 to 2026
A bond from any of the 4 is that company's own debt. A guarantee from a sister company or the founders adds a second promise to pay, on the terms written in it (section 4).
The group trades and makes building materials through 46 companies under HIML. 4 of them have issued bonds: HIMRPL, HIML, RDC and Hella Chemical Market.
A coupon is paid out of cash, so the next question is where the cash comes from.
HIMRPL's audited accounts for FY26 report a debt service cover of 0.45 times.1 Debt service cover is the cash a business earns in a year, divided by the interest and principal it had to pay that year. At 1 time, the business earned exactly what fell due. Below 1 time, earnings alone did not cover the payments, and the rest came from somewhere else.
A company pays its bondholders in this order. It sells goods and keeps an operating profit, before interest and tax. Out of that it pays interest. Principal falls due in larger lumps, and is paid from 4 places: cash the business has built up, a new loan that repays the old one (refinancing), new money from shareholders (equity), or, inside a group, money from a sister company.
In FY26 HIMRPL's revenue was ₹1,542.37 crore and its profit after tax ₹44.45 crore. Operating profit before depreciation, interest and tax (EBITDA) was ₹179.80 crore and finance cost ₹108.21 crore (EBITDA is our calculation from the accounts). Its debt service cover was 0.21 times in FY25 and 0.45 times in FY26; the FY24 figure was first reported as 0.77 times and restated to 0.25 times a year later.1
At 31st Mar 2026 HIMRPL owed about ₹520 crore of "advance from customers" to group companies: ₹327.89 crore to HIML, ₹174.04 crore to Hella Chemical Market and ₹17.25 crore to Sociam Equipment, against ₹127.83 crore a year earlier. Its own equity was ₹50.40 crore.1 An advance from a customer is money paid before the goods are delivered. FY26 operating cash flow of ₹354.09 crore included a ₹389.86 crore rise in other liabilities, mainly these advances.1 Without that rise, operating cash flow would have been about minus ₹35.77 crore (our calculation).
The accounts label these balances trade advances, not loans, and state that related party transactions "were made on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's length transactions".1
HIML does not publish group accounts. Its figures come from rating agency releases, which mark FY26 as provisional.28 On Acuité's figures, FY26 revenue was ₹19,718.25 crore, the EBITDA margin 8.98% and profit after tax ₹308.56 crore.28 Net cash accruals, the cash the business generates from its own earnings, were ₹801.17 crore. Scheduled debt repayments were ₹1,752.23 crore.26
the obligations was serviced through debt refinancing of Rs 750.00 Cr. and equity raise of Rs 915.55 Cr. in FY26
Acuité Ratings, Hella Infra Market Retail, 3rd Sep 2026
Plate IM.2
Where the money came from in FY26
The group, ₹ crore, from Acuité on provisional accounts; then HIMRPL’s operating cash flow, ₹ crore, from its audited accounts
Earlier years show the same pattern. India Ratings reported group operating cash flow after interest below zero in every year from FY20 to FY24 except FY23, and minus ₹720 crore in FY25, a year with reported profit of ₹220 crore. It put net debt at ₹4,370 crore at the end of FY25.21, 19 Equity made up the difference: Acuité counts ₹3,058 crore of equity raised from FY20 to FY25, not counting ₹900 crore of shares issued for the tile companies, then ₹915.55 crore in FY26 and ₹107 crore up to July 2026.26
Among the rounds, a ₹1,050 crore round in January 2025 came before a planned listing, and a ₹732 crore round in September 2025 included ₹250 crore from Silverline Homes, a founder company.63, 65 HIML filed for a listing through SEBI's confidential route on 1st Oct 2025 and received SEBI's observations about 3 months later.66, 68 Borrowing rose alongside: a press report puts group borrowings at about ₹6,000 crore by FY25, against about ₹260 crore 4 years earlier, and a valuation report of 10th Apr 2026, as reported, put debt at ₹6,057 crore and cash at ₹1,028 crore on 28th Feb 2026.76, 74
The next planned equity is a share swap. On 12th Aug 2026 Shalimar Paints' board approved issuing ₹10,439.91 crore of its shares to HIML's shareholders in exchange for 41.47% of HIML, plus a ₹1,000 crore sale of new shares to large institutions (a QIP), whose stated uses include repaying Shalimar's own bank debt and investing in subsidiaries or associates. Shalimar's shareholders approved both on 11th Sep 2026.37, 38, 40 Acuité describes the plan as "in lieu of the earlier plan of listing of HIML in stock exchanges", and as "subject to requisite approvals from the regulatory authorities".26 A press report cites lawyers raising section 19 of the Companies Act, under which a subsidiary may not hold shares of its holding company.75
Acuité, on management's information, expects group accruals of ₹980 crore to ₹1,105 crore a year in FY27 and FY28, against scheduled repayments of ₹613.29 crore to ₹1,021.33 crore a year, with the QIP and further refinancing to add to them. It also states that "debt repayment obligations are increasing substantially in FY29".26 It attributes lower revenue in the quarter to June 2026 to a "geopolitical crisis majorly impacting the tiles business".26
In FY26 the group's own cash covered ₹801.17 crore of the ₹1,752.23 crore of debt that fell due; refinancing and new equity paid the rest. At HIMRPL, advances from group companies were the largest source of cash.
If the cash runs short, a holder turns to what was set aside for the bond, and other lenders have things set aside too.
The offer document for HIMRPL's 11% bond promises 3.00 times security cover: assets meant to be worth 3 times what is owed. 1.50 times of it is a charge over specified HIMRPL assets. The other 1.50 times is a pledge of HIML shares held by the promoters. On top sit a guarantee from HIML and personal guarantees from both founders.2
A bond is secured when specific assets are set aside that holders can claim if the company does not pay. A charge (for stock and receivables, a hypothecation) gives the lender that claim while the assets stay with the company. It is exclusive when no other lender shares those assets, and pari passu when it is shared equally with others. A pledge hands shares to the lender, who can sell them on default. A guarantee is another company's or person's promise to pay if the borrower does not.
The order works like a queue at a counter that may run out of cash (chapter 12, weird bonds). Secured lenders stand at the front for the assets charged to them. Where 2 lenders share a charge, they share that place. A guarantor's own lenders stand ahead of you on the guarantor's assets.
HIML's 11% bond, INE06E507579: 3.0 times cover, 2.0 times from a pledge of shares and 1.0 time from a hypothecation shared with HIML's existing lenders, whose consent HIML must obtain.82 RDC's 11% bond INE076I07061: an exclusive charge on plant, machinery and receivables of identified plants, and a pledge of 28,14,737 HIML shares held by Aaditya Sharda, each at 1 time, with personal guarantees from both founders and no guarantee from HIML.10 RDC's 07046 and 07053: a charge on a concrete plant, a pledge of HIML shares and a reserve account, with personal guarantees.33, 87 RDC's ₹1 lakh lines 07020 and 07038: pledges of shares of Robo Silicon, an RDC subsidiary, to 2 times cover, with guarantees from HIML, Robo Silicon and both founders.11, 12 Hella Chemical Market's programme carries a guarantee from HIML.34
Pledges of HIML shares held by the promoters back at least 6 group borrowings: HIMRPL's 16% NCDs (5% of HIML's shares), its 14.65% NCDs (up to 2.5 times), its 11% retail bond (1.5 times), and RDC's 3 lines of 2026.1, 2, 10, 33 A press report adds HIML's ₹1,250 crore NCD programme with Ascertis Credit to that list.69 HIML's 52.85% of Shalimar Paints is pledged to the holders of HIMRPL's 16% NCDs.36, 1 RDC's shareholders approved, on 30th Jan 2026, a pledge of 92.15% of RDC's shares to the investors in HIML's ₹1,250 crore programme, and RDC guaranteed that programme on 3rd Feb 2026.10, 14 That guarantee is about 4.8 times RDC's FY26 net worth of ₹258.76 crore (our calculation).33
Directory data that mirrors the Registrar of Companies, and can lag it, shows charges with face values of about ₹5,721 crore registered on HIML's assets across 26 lenders and trustees, and about ₹675 crore on RDC's. A charge value is the size of the facility it secured, not the debt still owed.91 Charges adding up to ₹989 crore were registered for Catalyst Trusteeship on 3 founder companies in 2022 and 2023; how much is still open is not known.52 Mint reported in April 2026 that the founders borrowed through Silverline Homes against pledged HIML shares to put money into the company.71
Plate IM.3
Who else has a claim on the same things
What backs each group borrowing, grouped by the asset or shares charged or pledged, from offer documents, 2025 to 2026, and directory data
A guarantee is only as quick as its wording. A pre default invocation clause sets out how, and how early, the guarantor is called to pay, before the borrower misses a date. India Ratings notes that HIML's guarantee of RDC's NCDs has no such clause and no defined payment mechanism, so it does not count it as support for the rating.16
No company statement on the pledges or the founder company charges was found in the GID, KIDs, BSE filings or press to 20th Oct 2026. No company comment was published with the Mint report.71
Each family of bonds has its own security, but most lean on the same 2 things: pledges of HIML shares held by the founders, and guarantees from HIML and the founders. Other lenders hold pledges over the same kinds of shares, and charges over the guarantor's assets.
How likely the promises are to be kept is what rating agencies try to judge, and the 2 agencies rating this group read it very differently.
On 1st Oct 2026 India Ratings rated HIML's ₹585 crore of named NCDs IND B+/Negative (ISSUER NOT COOPERATING).15 Acuité's rating of the same company, from 3rd Sep 2026, is ACUITE A−, on Rating Watch with Developing Implications.28 The 2 sit 7 notches apart.
A credit rating is an agency's opinion of how likely a borrower is to pay interest and principal in full and on time (chapter 10, judging a company bond). Each step on the scale is a notch. From A− down, the steps run BBB+, BBB, BBB−, BB+, BB, BB− and B+: 7 notches. An outlook is the agency's view of the likely direction. A Rating Watch is a flag that an event may change the rating soon; "Developing Implications" means it could go either way.
Issuer Not Cooperating (INC) is a tag an agency adds when the company has not given it the information it needs to review the rating. The rating then rests on the best information the agency has. The tag describes the flow of information; it is not by itself a default.

Agencies rate different things on different information. Each says what it relies on.
India Ratings says it lacks what it needs. Its 1st Oct 2026 release lists what HIML did not send: "Monthly no default statements since March 2026"; operational and financial performance since FY26; the liquidity position, including working capital, use of limits and cash flow; capital spending and its funding; and net debt with an updated repayment schedule.15 A no default statement is a short monthly letter in which a rated company tells its agency it has paid every debt on time. It has asked for related party data since June 2025.18, 17 Its own words: "Issuer did not co-operate, based on best available information. Ind-Ra is unable to provide an update, as the agency does not have adequate information to review the ratings."15
Acuité credits the group's "reputed institutional investors" and its "demonstrated ability to mobilize resources through equity raising and debt refinancing".26, 28 It placed the watch on 3rd Sep 2026 over the Shalimar share swap and QIP. Its triggers for a cut include "Delay in receipt of QIP proceeds leading to deterioration in financial risk profile with Debt/ EBITDA increasing over 3.5 times". Its first text dated the QIP to September 2027 and December 2027; an erratum of 29th Sep 2026 changed that to September 2026 and December 2026.26, 27
No company statement on either agency's actions was found in BSE filings or press to 20th Oct 2026.
India Ratings first rated RDC A− in June 2019 and HIML A− in May 2021. It raised HIML to A in December 2021, and moved to a Negative outlook after the 2022 income tax search. It cut HIML to A− in February 2024, to BBB+ in May 2025, to BB+ with the INC tag on 22nd Sep 2025, and to B+ on 1st Oct 2026. RDC followed on the same dates from May 2025.15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25
Acuité rated HIML's bank lines BBB− in April 2020, rated HIML A in June 2021, and on 7th Sep 2022 cut it to BBB+ and withdrew the rating at the company's request. It assigned A− afresh on 29th May 2025 and rated RDC A− from 14th Jul 2025. All its ratings in the group went on watch on 3rd Sep 2026.28, 30, 31, 32, 33

Every rating, by agency
Long term ratings of HIML and RDC, Jan 2019 to 20th Oct 2026, from each agency’s published actions
India Ratings rates HIML and RDC B+ with an Issuer Not Cooperating tag, saying it lacks information. Acuité rates the group A− on watch, citing its investors and its record of raising money. Neither rating is a default, and each describes what it rests on.
Ratings are opinions. The bond's own paper holds the promises, and some of those promises are tied to the ratings.
HIMRPL's offer document for its 11% bond contains this promise, due by a fixed date:
Promises like this are covenants: conditions written into a bond, on top of paying on time (chapter 10). The group's bonds use 4 kinds. Money tests cap debt against earnings or net worth, measured each quarter. Rating step ups raise the coupon if a rating falls. Events of default list situations that let holders treat the bond as in default, even with no payment missed. Information duties list what the company must send the trustee and the holders. A debenture trustee is the SEBI registered firm that acts for all holders together, keeps the security and checks the covenants. For every bond read for this page it is Catalyst Trusteeship.2, 10, 11, 82
| Bond family | Money tests | Rating step up | Rating event of default |
|---|---|---|---|
| HIMRPL 11% 07194 | Debt at most 2.0 times tangible net worth; net debt below 3.5 times EBITDA; trailing profit above zero; all liabilities below 3.0 times tangible net worth, all on HIML's group numbers; HIMRPL's own debt service cover at least 1.30 times each quarter from Sep 2026 | 0.75% a notch below A−, on the lowest rating of any agency | Rating suspended or cut to BBB or lower; any INC remark must be kept off the rating |
| HIML 11% 07579 | The same 4 tests on HIML's group numbers | 0.75% a notch below A−; plus 0.25% from 12th Apr 2027 if HIML lacks its lenders' consent for the shared charge | Rating suspended or cut below BBB |
| RDC 11% 07061 | Profit above ₹20 crore a year; tangible net worth at least ₹180 crore; debt at most 3 times equity; debt service cover at least 0.80 times in FY27, then 1 time; HIML and the group to own at least 80% of RDC. A breach adds 2% | 0.50% a notch below Acuité A− | Cut to BBB+ or lower by any agency makes the bonds repayable early |

India Ratings attached the INC tag to RDC on 22nd Sep 2025 and kept it on 1st Oct 2026.16 No waiver, default notice or early repayment demand appears among RDC's BSE filings.14 The coupons on both lines have been paid. RDC's ISIN statement for 30th Sep 2026 shows them at 12%, against 11% in the KIDs.12 On a plain reading of the step up, 0.50% for each notch below A− on the lowest rating, B+ would give 14.5% (our reading). The trust deed, which the KID says prevails, would settle which applies; it is not public.11
No company statement on the clause, the 12% coupon or any waiver was found.
HIMRPL's covenant needs its own debt service cover of at least 1.30 times each quarter from September 2026, worked on a forward basis. Its audited FY26 ratio, on a different formula, was 0.45 times.1, 2 The certificate for the quarter to 30th Sep 2026 goes to the trustee and the holders within 30 days; it is not published.2
The KIDs also promise documents that never reach the exchange: a quarterly covenant certificate, a monthly management report, the guarantors' net worth certificates. Section 10 lists them and who to ask.2, 82, 10, 11
Acuité printed HIML's covenants with its lender Ascertis on 24th Mar 2026 and again on 3rd Sep 2026, with different limits. Total debt to EBITDA up to 31st Mar 2026 reads "below 3.4x" in March and "<3.75x" in September; the other limits moved the same way.29, 28 Neither release explains the change.
The group's bonds test debt against HIML's group earnings, raise the coupon when a rating falls, and in some cases treat a rating cut or an INC tag as a default. The RDC 07020 and 07038 clause has been met on its face since 22nd Sep 2025, and no use of it is on record.
Promises are on paper. The record shows what happened to them.
Each matter below opens to the same facts: what, when, the source, its status as the record shows it, and the company's position. Outcomes are given only as the record shows them.
Every listed coupon in the group has been paid on time. The record also shows an auditor's resignation without a stated reason, figures in HIMRPL's GID that differ from its audited accounts, late tax deposits at 2 companies, and events not filed on the exchange.
The last part of the story is the calendar: when principal falls due.
A bullet bond repays all its principal on one date. An amortising bond repays it in parts. Either way, a company that cannot repay from its own cash must refinance or raise equity before the date (section 3). Lining up every bond's dates shows when that need is largest.
The bonds identified for this page fall due from November 2026. HIMRPL's privately placed 14.50% and 14.65% lines end between November 2026 and June 2027, and the balance of its 16% lines by 30th Aug 2027. Investor puts on RDC's 07020 and 07038 fall in March and April 2027. Hella Chemical Market's ₹221 crore matures in February and March 2028, and ₹520 crore of HIML NCDs from April to June 2028. RDC's 11% lines start repaying in May 2028, and the HIMRPL and HIML 11% lines in September and October 2028.1, 11, 12, 15, 28, 34, 82, 83
From February to June 2028, about ₹958.5 crore of identified bond principal falls due, if RDC's holders do not use their puts (our calculation). Acuité states that "debt repayment obligations are increasing substantially in FY29", the year from April 2028.26

The group's identified bond principal is spread from late 2026, with the largest quarter from April to June 2028. The 11% retail lines repay from May 2028 to April 2029, after most of the group's other identified bonds.

The 4 retail lines of ₹10,000 share one shape. The company pays 11% a year on what it still owes, each month, and hands the ₹10,000 back in parts near the end. Each coupon is principal still owed × 11% × days in the period ÷ days in the year, on the actual day count; a year with a 29th Feb counts 366 days (chapter 4, accrued interest and record dates).

An amortising ₹10,000 bond pays about ₹2,500 of coupons over 30 months, not about ₹2,750, because part of the principal comes back 6 months before the end. Money returned early is yours to reinvest.

The KID gives ₹90.41 for the first month; ₹10,000 × 11% × 30 ÷ 365 gives ₹90.41. Its figures to October 2027 (₹93.42, ₹90.41 and ₹84.38 for 31, 30 and 28 day months) match the same sum.2 Bought on BSE on 19th Oct 2026 at the average price of ₹9,240.48, plus ₹6.03 of accrued interest for 2 days, the remaining flows (₹2,410.22 of coupons and ₹10,000 of principal) give a yield of about 16.2% a year (our calculation, XIRR on a 365 day year). Each coupon is rounded to the paisa, as paid.

The KID gives ₹93.42 for the first coupon, 12th Nov 2026, a 31 day month; the same sum gives ₹93.42 (our calculation). If principal falls on the month ends in the term sheet instead, a few coupons change by small amounts. No BSE trade by 19th Oct 2026, so no market yield; at Groww's displayed price of ₹9,269 on 16th Oct 2026, which Groww labels a dirty price (including accrued interest), the KID's flows give about 15.9% (our calculation).50, 51

Your card gives your dates. Section 10 turns them into a routine.
A holder cannot see inside the company, but the company must tell the exchange certain things on fixed dates, and must send the trustee more. The routine below uses public pages and your own statements. It says what a normal month looks like and what counts as a change worth noting. A change worth noting is something to write down, read in full and ask about. It is not a signal to do anything with the bond.

The record date is the day the registrar takes the list of holders; whoever holds the bond that day gets the next coupon (chapter 4).

All 5 lines pay the same amount in a given month, because each covers the same number of days. HIML's coupon would rise by 0.25% from 12th Apr 2027 if it has not received its lenders' no objection by then (section 6).82 RDC's ₹1 lakh lines pay on the last day of each month:

07020 and 07038: the put deadlineThe KIDs let a holder give put notice "up to 45 (forty five) Business Days prior to the Put Option Date". Counted in weekdays, that closes about 7th to 8th Jan 2027 for 07020 and 28th to 29th Jan 2027 for 07038 (our calculation). NSDL records 26th Jan 2027 and 16th Feb 2027. The 2 readings differ by about 3 weeks. Catalyst Trusteeship can confirm in writing which date applies; a holder who gives notice keeps proof that it was delivered.11, 83
| Step | Where to look | A normal month | A change worth noting |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. The coupon landed | Your bank statement and demat holding statement | The credit arrives on the payment date, or the next working day, for about face × coupon × days ÷ 365, less TDS; the same number of bonds as before | No credit; a smaller credit than the sum gives; a later date; a change in face value per bond outside a scheduled instalment |
| 2. The record date notice | BSE scrip page, Corp Announcements, "Regulation 60(2) Record Date" | Filed before the record date, naming the ISIN, record date and payment date; HIMRPL filed 4 days ahead in Sep 2026 | No notice, or a payment date different from the KID |
| 3. The payment certificate | Same page, "Reg. 57 (1)" | Within 1 working day: payment made "Yes", the actual date equal to the due date, and "NA" against reason for delay | "No"; a later date; a reason for delay; an amount that does not fit the size outstanding (section 7) |
| 4. Other announcements | Same page, the whole month; for RDC also 976497; the parent's and sister issuers' pages | Board meetings, record dates, allotments, results on time | Any filing that touches the bond: a rating action, an auditor change or resignation, a director or key officer leaving, a default or delay on any borrowing, a meeting of holders, a change in security, a court order, a new reissue under the same ISIN |
| 5. Each rating agency | Acuité's website, search each company; India Ratings releases for HIML and RDC; NSDL India Bond Info by ISIN | No new release, or a reaffirmation | A change of rating, outlook or watch; an INC tag; a withdrawal; a new agency; a rating that crosses a trigger in section 6 (A− for step ups; BBB+ for 07061; BBB for 07194, 07579, 07020 and 07038) |
| 6. The trustee | catalysttrustee.com | Nothing new on the issuer | A notice of default or breach, a call for a holders' meeting or vote, an enforcement notice, a change of trustee |
| 7. The traded price | The BSE page; the platforms named on your card | Trades on some days, near last month's range | A fall that takes the yield well outside the past 3 months' range, or trading stopping. Chapter 13 records that in past failures "The price fell before the rating." |
| 8. Your tax record | Form 26AS or the Annual Information Statement | TDS on each coupon against the issuer's TAN | TDS deducted but not shown |
| 9. Write one line | Your own log | Date checked; coupon amount and date; record date and certificate dates; other filings; ratings; trustee; price range; notes | Anything from the right hand column, with the link |

Write it down with the date and the link. Read the filing in full. Check whether the trustee or the agency has said anything. Then ask the contacts in section 12, quoting your ISIN and the number of bonds you hold. If a complaint is not resolved, SEBI's SCORES system and BSE's investor services cell take investor complaints.
Each month: the record date notice, the payment certificate, the other announcements, each agency, the trustee, the price and your tax record. Each quarter: results, security cover and the covenant certificate, which the KIDs say holders can have.
Those checks describe any month. The next section is one dated snapshot.
This section is the only part of the page tied to one date. It will be refreshed; the story above will not change unless the mechanism does.
Status on 20th Oct 2026
On 20th Oct 2026 every listed coupon had been paid on time, the 2 agencies sat 7 notches apart, and the ₹150 crore promise, the Shalimar QIP and the size of HIML's 11% bond were not yet on the public record.
The contacts below are the official ones printed in the bonds' KIDs and in India Ratings' releases. Each can answer some questions and not others. The suggested questions are examples, drawn from the open questions above.
Every figure on this page is dated. This is where to find the current one.
| Figure | How often it changes | Where to find it |
|---|---|---|
| Ratings and their reports | On any rating action; at least once a year | Acuité's website (search the company); India Ratings' website; NSDL India Bond Info by ISIN |
| Coupons paid and record dates | Every month | The bond's BSE page, Corp Announcements |
| Amount outstanding on each ISIN | Every half year | The half yearly ISIN statement on BSE |
| Security cover | Every quarter | The "Reg. 54" filing on BSE |
| Results and ratios | Every quarter or half year | The "Reg. 52" filing on BSE |
| Traded price | Every trading day | The bond's BSE page; the platforms on its card |
| Top bondholders | When a new GID or KID is filed | That GID or KID |
| Group accounts | Every year | Rating agency releases; HIML publishes none |
| The Shalimar swap and QIP | At each step | Shalimar's announcements on NSE (SHALPAINTS) and BSE (509874) |
Method. Research as of 20th Oct 2026. The primary record is the issuers' own offer documents (HIMRPL's GID of 4th Sep 2026 and KID of 10th Sep 2026, HIML's GID of 30th Sep 2026 and KID of 6th Oct 2026, RDC's GIDs of 5th Mar 2025 and 30th Apr 2026 and KIDs of 2025 and 2026), the audited accounts printed in HIMRPL's GID, exchange filings with BSE and NSE, NSDL's bond records, rating agency releases, court orders and regulator records. GID page numbers are PDF pages. The audited accounts in HIMRPL's GID are scanned images and were read page by page. Rating agency figures marked provisional are as the agency printed them. Press reports, directory sites that mirror the Registrar of Companies (Tofler, Falcon, Zauba, TheCompanyCheck, InstaFinancials) and anonymous employee reviews are reported sources and are labelled as such where used; directory data are leads and can lag the Registrar. Prices are BSE trades; trades of 1 bond are not used as prices. Yields are our calculation: XIRR on a 365 day year on each bond's published cash flows, with the traded price plus accrued interest paid on the trade date, leaving out a coupon whose record date has passed. Ledgers round each coupon to the paisa and count 366 days in 2028. Where the company, its management or a rating agency has stated a position on a finding, it is reported next to that finding. Nothing on this page is a finding of wrongdoing by any person or company.
