Rating Rationale

­Acuite has assigned long-term rating of 'ACUITE BBB' (read as ACUITE triple B) on the Rs. 11.10 Cr. bank facilities and short-term rating of 'ACUITE A3+' (read as ACUITE A three plus) on the Rs. 13.90 Cr. bank facilities of RDB Real Estate Constructions Limited. The outlook is 'Stable'.

Rationale for rating
The rating derives strength from experienced management, diversified sources of revenues from lease rentals of commercial properties, plotting of land and real estate property sales, long standing relations with lessee and adequate liquidity through presence of DSRA and escrow mechanism. However, it is constrained by risk of non-renewals of the lease rental agreements and customer concentration risk.

Key Rating Drivers

Strengths
Experienced management and reputed clientele base
The operations are managed by Mr. Vinod Dugar who holds prior experience in this real estate industry. The company has reputed lessees namely Air Plaza retail holdings private limited, State Bank of India among others. Acuite believes that the benefits derived from the management and long standing relations with the lessees will help the company going forward.

Presence of Escrow mechanism and DSRA with bank
The company has availed an Lease Rental Discounting (LRD) term loan. The lease rentals are directly deposited into escrow account and the debt obligation is deducted from the same. In addition to this, the company has already created 1 month EMI instalment and interest as DSRA in other group entity i.e RDB Infrastructure and Power Limited. Acuite believes that the presence of escrow account and DSRA provides comfort on the cash flow management of the company.

Weaknesses
­Customer Concentration Risk
Since there are two properties, at Regent Star Mall, Uttarpara there is customer concentration risk as Air Plaza retail holdings private limited holds 71.44% of the total area. The risk is however, mitigated as it has long term lease agreement with the company. At Millenium Towers, Haldia, that there is customer concentration risk as Manoj Enterprise which holds 88.36%. The risk is however, mitigated as it has long standing relation with the company and renewals are done annually. Acuité believes that any change in the business plan of the lesses along with their non-renewal or early exit might impact the revenues and margins of the company.
Assessment of Adequacy of Credit Enhancement under various scenarios including stress scenarios (applicable for ratings factoring specified support considerations with or without the “CE” suffix)
­The company maintains a Debt Service Reserve Account (DSRA) equivalent to 1 month EMI instalments and interest debt servicing obligation along with the ESCROW mechanism.

Stress Case scenario 

Acuite believes that, given the presence of DSRA in other group entity equivalent to 1 month EMI instalments and interest debt servicing obligation, they will be able to service its debt on time, even in a stress scenario.

 
Rating Sensitivities
­­Improvement in lease rental and cash flows 
Any significant decline in lease rentals on account of discontinuation of lease agreement
Exposure to group companies
 
Liquidity Position
Adequate
­The liquidity of the company is adequate by steady cash inflows expected to be Rs. 2.77 Cr. in FY 26. The company is maintaining escrow accounts and has created 1 month EMI instalment and interest DSRA in the other group company i.e. RDB Infrastructure and Power Limited. Acuite believes that the liquidity of the firm will remain adequate in the near to medium term.
 
Outlook: Stable
