| Key Rating Drivers |
| Strengths |
| Long track record of operations with diversified portfolio & experienced promoters
The company is engaged into the business of civil construction for more than three decades and works for government and semi government companies like RITES Limited, WAPCOS Limited, Southeastern railways amongst few. The company has major projects in the eastern part of India i.e. Orissa, Jharkhand, Bihar, West Bengal. It undertakes projects pertaining to construction & maintenance of roads, bridges, railway parts and water irrigation projects which exhibits a diversified portfolio. Further, the directors of the company Mr. Govind Prasad Agrawal, Mr. Anand Dodrajka, Mr. Adarsh Dodrajka and Mr. Akshat Dodrajka, who manage the day-to-day operations of the company have more than four decades of experience in the field of civil construction. Acuité believes that the extensive experience of the management, established long track record of operations of company coupled with healthy clientele relationships will continue to benefit the company going forward. Augmentation in scale of operations TEPL witnessed improvement in the operating income and achieved revenue of Rs 491.41 Cr. in FY2025 as compared to Rs. 416.29 Cr. in FY2024 posting a growth of 18.04 percent on account of timely execution of work orders. Further it has an unexecuted order book of ~ Rs. 1,534.28 Cr. (3.12 times of operating income of FY2025) as on November 01,2025 which is to be completed in the coming 12 to 24 months thereby providing sound revenue visibility in near to medium term. Furthermore, the company has achieved revenue of Rs. 194.80 Cr. till Oct-25. The operating margin of the company marginally dipped in FY2025 and stood at 9.09 percent as compared to 10.39 percent in FY2024. However, the PAT margin improved to 8.46 percent in FY2025 on account of receipt of arbitration award income albeit increase in finance and depreciation cost. Acuité believes that, going forward, the sustainability of the healthy margins will remain a key monitorable. Healthy financial risk profile The financial risk profile of the company is healthy marked by healthy net worth, comfortable gearing and debt protection metrics. The tangible net worth of the company increased to Rs. 298.28 Cr. as on March 31,2025 as compared to Rs. 256.88 Cr. as on March 31,2024 mainly on account of accretion to reserves. The gearing stood comfortable at 0.37 times as on March 31,2025 (0.36 times as on March 31,2024) despite increase in debt (long term as well as short term) for purchase of equipment and meeting working capital requirement for execution of order. Furthermore, the debt protection metrics of the company is marked comfortable with interest coverage ratio at 7.15 times and debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) at 2.15 times as on March 31, 2025. Acuité believes that going forward the financial risk profile will remain healthy over the medium term backed by steady net cash accruals. |
| Weaknesses |
| Moderately intensive working capital operations
The working capital operations of the company is moderately intensive marked by gross current assets (GCA) of 153 days as on March 31,2025 as compared to 133 days as on March 31,2024 owing to moderate inventory holding and other current assets (earnest money deposit). The inventory holding period increased to 72 days as on March 31,2025 as compared to 55 days as on March 31, 2024. However, the debtor’s holding period stood comfortable at 33 days as on March 31,2025. Acuité believes that the working capital operations of the company will remain at similar levels over the medium term based on the nature of business. Inherent risks in tender-based businesses coupled with geographical concentration risk and intense competition in the industry Intense competition from several players, and exposure to risks arising from dependence on tenders. Growth in revenue and profitability depends on the company's ability to bid successfully and executes order within stipulated time frame. Further, though company is executing orders in West Bengal, Chhattisgarh, Bihar and Odisha, a major portion of its order book is concentrated mostly in Jharkhand, thereby exposing TEPL to geographical concentration risk. |
