| Experienced management and strategic location of the property
True living tech park private limited (TLTPPL), is incorporated in 2021 as a subsidiary of Ozone tech park private limited. It was subsequently was acquired by Viko Infra Projects LLP in April 2023. The company is promoted and managed by Mr. Vikranth Reddy Yerram and Ms. Apoorva Reddy Yerram, who have a demonstrated track record across real estate development and commercial asset management. The promoters are associated with multiple entities engaged in infrastructure and real-estate projects, which provides the company with strong sectoral understanding, execution capability and brand advantages. TLTPPL owns and operates commercial property in Bangalore named as 'Ozone manay tech park' located on Hosur main road, Begur Hobli Bangalore. The property consists of two building, block A and block B with total leasable area of 4,09,302 Sq fts. The property is currently occupied by two tenants Flow P&E India and SPX Flow for around ~30,000 sq.ft. Acuite believes, the promoter group's experience and demonstrated ability to manage commercial real-estate assets benefits the business risk profile of TLTPPL.

| Weak financial risk profile:
The financial risk profile of TLTPPL remained weak marked by negative networth of Rs.190.10 Cr. as on March 31, 2025 as against negative networth of Rs.194.16 Cr. as on March 31, 2024. The negative networth is due to exclusion of good will and accumulated losses. The total debt (comprising Rs.296.41 Cr. long-term debt, Rs.24.52 Cr. of unsecured loans and Rs.2.52 Cr.) stood at Rs.323.45 Cr. as on March 31, 2025. The gearing level stood negative at 1.70 times as on March 31, 2025. The debt protection metrics have deteriorated with insufficient cash flows from lease rentals to meet the repayment obligations. The average debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) during the tenure of the loan stood at 1.06 times. Acuite believes the financial risk profile of the company is expected to improve in the near to medium term on account expected improvement in rental income and no major debt funded capital expenditure over the medium term.
Risk associated with cash flow mismatches given high vacancy levels:
TLTPPL has high vacancy levels, with nearly 90 percent of the total leasable area is lying vacant as on December, 2025. The exit of erstwhile tenant Robert Bosch in May 2025 substantially weakened occupancy levels, directly impacting rental cash flows and leading to repayment delays. Block A is fully vacant and Block B has only two tenants occupying limited floors, leaving a large portion of space unleased. Although the property is located in a prime commercial corridor and management is in discussion to lease out the remaining area, the timing and certainty of closure remain uncertain. Until a substantial portion of the vacant area is leased out and rental inflows stabilize, the company’s revenue visibility and debt servicing ability will remain under stress, requiring continued promoter support.
