Rating Rationale

­Acuité has reaffirmed its long-term rating of ‘ACUITE BBB+’ (read as ACUITE triple B plus) on the Rs.7.50 Cr. bank facilities and short-term rating of ‘ACUITE A2’ (read as ACUITE A two) on the Rs.33.00 Cr. bank facilities of Miura Infrastructure Private Limited (MIPL). The outlook is ‘Stable’.

Acuité has also assigned its long-term rating of ‘ACUITE BBB+’ (read as ACUITE triple B plus) on the Rs. 10.00 Cr. bank facilities and short-term rating of ‘ACUITE A2’ (read as ACUITE A two) on the Rs.7.00 Cr. bank facilities of Miura Infrastructure Private Limited (MIPL). The outlook is ‘Stable’.

Rationale for reaffirmation :

The rating reaffirmation takes into account the company's improved profitability in FY2025(Prov), with a marginal decline in operating revenue. It also considers the company’s continuing healthy financial risk profile, characterized by a strong net worth, low gearing, and robust debt protection metrics. The rating is further supported by the promoters' extensive experience of over five decades in the fabrication of building and technological structures.

However, the rating remains constrained by the working capital-intensive nature of operations and the company's susceptibility to volatility in raw material prices.

Key Rating Drivers

Strengths
  • ­­Long track record of operation and experienced management

MIPL was founded by Mr. Gaurav Himatsingka under the guidance of his father-in-law, who brings over five decades of experience in the fabrication of building and technological structures. The day-to-day operations of the company are managed by Mr. Gaurav Himatsingka and Mr. Vivek Himatsingka, who are well supported by experienced and qualified divisional heads. With a long-standing presence in the sector, the company has built strong relationships with its customers over the past decade. Acuité believes that a similar growth trajectory is likely to continue over the medium term, backed by experienced management and an established, longstanding relationship with reputed clientele.

  • Healthy  financial risk profile

MIPL’s financial risk profile is healthy marked by healthy net worth, gearing and debt protection metrics. It’s net worth improved to Rs.89.84 Cr. from Rs.71.02 Cr. as on March 31, 2025(Prov) and 2024 respectively on account of accretion to reserves. The company has a conservative leverage policy marked by gearing of 0.08 times as on March 31, 2025(Prov) as against 0.00 times as on March 31, 2024. MIPL’s debt protection metrics are healthy – Interest coverage ratio and debt service coverage ratio stood at 36.97 times and 28.96 times as on March 31, 2025(Prov) respectively as against 43.58 times and 34.08 times as on March 31, 2024 respectively. TOL/TNW stood at 0.76 times and 0.52 times as on March 31, 2025(Prov) and 2024 respectively. The debt to EBITDA of the company stood at 0.26 times as on March 31, 2025(Prov) as against 0.00 times as on March 31, 2024. Acuité believes the financial risk profile of the company will remain healthy on account of steady net cash accruals and no major debt funded capex plan over the near term.

  • Moderate scale of operations coupled with healthy profitability margin
The company’s revenue moderated to Rs.129.22 Cr. in FY2025 (Prov) from Rs.139.74 Cr. in FY2024. This decline was primarily due to a shift in the revenue mix—from material with steel to material without steel (job work). However, the operating profitability margin improved and remained healthy at 13.11 percent in FY2025 (Prov), compared to 11.32 percent in FY2024. The improvement in margins is attributed to the execution of job work orders, which yield higher margins compared to fabricated steel structure orders. Acuité believes that the company’s operating profitability margins will remain healthy, supported by steady demand from the steel industry and its established market presence.

Weaknesses
  • Working capital intensive operations
The company’s working capital operations are intensive in nature, as reflected by high gross current assets (GCA) of 178 days in FY2025 (Prov), compared to 123 days in FY2024. The increase in GCA days is primarily driven by inventory days, which rose to 178 days in FY2025 (Prov) from 117 days in FY2024. This rise is mainly due to market conditions, as steel which is company’s major raw material is highly volatile. To mitigate price fluctuations, the company procures raw materials in bulk, especially since most customer orders do not include a price escalation clause. Additionally, the inventory includes work-in-progress (WIP), as certain fabrication job work requires extended time to complete and convert into finished goods. Debtor days stood at 11 days in FY2025 (Prov), compared to 13 days in FY2024. The payable period increased to 88 days in FY2025 (Prov), from 34 days in FY2024. Furthermore, the average bank limit utilization over the 12 months ending April 2025 remained at approximately 21.06 percent for fund-based limits and 40 percent for non-fund-based limits.
  • Susceptibility to volatility in raw material prices

The company purchases steel, a commodity known for its high price volatility. As a result, the company's margins are susceptible to fluctuations in raw material prices due to its limited ability to effectively pass on cost increases to customers.

Rating Sensitivities
  • ­Scaling up of operations while maintaining  profitability margins
  • Sustenance of its conservative capital structure
  • Any significant elongation in the working capital cycle
 
Liquidity Position: Adequate
 MIPL generated cash accruals stood of Rs.20.17 Cr. in FY2025(Prov) as against the nil repayment obligations same period. Going forward, the group is expected to generate moderate net cash accruals against maturing repayment obligations. Unencumbered cash and bank balances stood at Rs. 0.04 Cr. as on March 31, 2025(Prov). The current ratio of the company stood at 1.16 times as on March 31, 2025. Further, the average bank limit utilization in the last 12 months ended April 25 stood moderate at ~21.06 percent for fund based and 40 percent for non-fund based. Acuité believes that the company's liquidity is likely to remain adequate on the back of continued expected adequate cash accrual generation.
 
Outlook: Stable
