Rating Rationale

Acuité has assigned its long-term rating of ‘ACUITE B’ (read as ACUITE B) on the Rs. 100.00 Cr. proposed Non-Convertible Debentures of Iinspira Springdale Private Limited (ISPL). The outlook is ‘Stable’.

Rationale for rating assigned

The rating assigned takes into account significant risks associated towards funding, implementation and demand for the project – 'Trees of Life'. Further, the rating also factors the susceptibility of company's operations towards inherent cyclicality in the real estate industry and regulatory risks associated with it. However, the rating draws comfort from the long-standing experience and established track record of promoter i.e Inspira group for more than two decades in real estate business.

Key Rating Drivers

Strengths
Established track record of the group with experienced management
ISPL is a group company of Inspira Builders LLP, a Bangalore-based real estate developer engaged in commercial and residential projects. The firm is managed by Mr. Prabhu Ur, Mr. Aravind MS, and Mr. Akarsh Reddy. The group has over two decades of experience in real estate development through various executed projects. Inspira Group has completed ~18 projects and is currently having 4 ongoing projects. Further, the group has delivered over 1.5 million square feet of residential and commercial spaces.

Weaknesses
High project execution risk
The project is being constructed at a cost of Rs. 480 Cr. to be funded through equity infusions of Rs 25.0 Cr, debt of Rs 100.0 Cr. and balance through customer advances of Rs. 355 Cr. Further, of the proposed NCD of Rs 100 Cr, Rs 47 Cr shall be utilised towards repayment of existing project debt (including unsecured loans from promoters) and balance towards project development. Also, while the promoters have infused Rs.12 Cr. as March 31, 2025, balance infusion is pending. Further, the funding risk remain high as majority of the project development is dependent on customer advances.
On the implementation front, the group has acquired nearly 75% of the land as on March 31, 2025. However, for balance 25% of the land which yet to be acquired from the current landowners, the company is expected to raising funds through the proposed NCDs, timely raising of which is a key rating monitorable. Further, currently all land is being acquired in BM construction, who is also responsible to obtain all statutory approvals, post which the group is expected to start the sale of land and construction of villas. Hence, the implementation and the demand risk for the project remains high.

Susceptibility to geographical concentration, real estate cyclicality, regulatory risks and intense competition in the industry
The operations of the group are majorly located in and around Bangalore which keeps the firm exposed to geographic concentration risk. Further, the real estate industry in India is highly fragmented with most of the real estate developers, having a city specific or region-specific presence. The risks associated with real estate industry are cyclical in nature and directly linked to drop in property prices and interest rate risks, which could affect the operations. Moreover, the industry is also exposed to certain regulatory risks linked to stamp duty and registration tax directly impacting the demand and thus the operating growth of real estate players. Hence, business risk profile will remain susceptible to risks arising from any industry slowdown.
Rating Sensitivities
  • Timely raising of debt to fund the project requirements

  • Ontime completion of project without cost overruns and adequate realization of its customer advances

  • Significant changes in regulations affecting demand and price

 
All Covenants
  • No further debt in any form can be raised by the obligor without investor consent
  • Subordination deed satisfactory to investor to be executed wherever required
  • No sales to be marked below the floor price set out in business plan for any project asset without consent of Investor
  • Collateral cover of at least 2.5 times
 
Liquidity Position
Stretched
The liquidity profile of the project is marked stretched, on account of high dependency on advances from the customers. Further, the company is raising fresh funds of Rs.100 Cr. to repay some of the existing project levels borrowings of around Rs. 47 Cr. Moreover, the liquidity is expected to be supported once the company realises customer advances. Further, as per the proposed term sheet the company will receive a moratorium of two quarters for coupon payment and four quarters for repayment of the NCD, from the date of the first disbursement which shall ease cash outflows in the near term.
