Rating Rationale

­Acuite has assigned its long-term rating of ‘ACUITÉ BB+' (read as ACUITE Double B plus) on the Rs. 27.00 Cr. bank facilities of Oasis Infrastructure Private Limited (OIPL). The outlook is ‘Stable’.

Rationale for Rating
The rating assigned reflects the managements’ extensive experience in the industry and established operational track record. The rating also favourably considers the company’s modest scale of operations albeit healthy profitability. However, these strengths are partly offset by the company’s moderate financial risk profile marked by modest net worth and moderate coverage indicators, working capital intensive operations and exposure to cyclicality in end user industries.

About the Company
Incorporated in 2003, Oasis Infrastructure Private Limited (OIPL) is based in Mumbai & is engaged in the business of Crane Rental Services. Mr. Om Premal Thaker & Mr. Premal Naresh Thaker are the current directors of the company.

Key Rating Drivers

Strengths
­Established operational track record and extensive promoter experience
OIPL has been operating for more than two decades in the crane rental services, reflecting an established operational track record. The company is promoted and managed by Mr. Premal Naresh Thaker and Mr. Om Premal Thaker, supported by a team of experienced personnel. The promoters have over two decades of experience in the industry, which has enabled the company to establish relationships with key suppliers and customers. The company is engaged in the business of renting construction equipment such as crawler cranes, truck-mounted cranes, piling rigs and trailers for infrastructure and industrial projects. Its clientele includes established infrastructure players such as Larsen & Toubro, Reliance Industries, Ultratech Cement, Tata Projects and Afcons Infrastructure. Acuité believes that the long track record and rich experience of the directors’ augur well for the company's relationships with key suppliers and customers.

Modest scale of operations albeit healthy profitability
OIPL, in FY25 reported revenue of Rs. 60.63 Cr. (FY24: Rs. 46.88 Cr.), the increase in revenues is primarily driven by higher fleet deployment. EBITDA improved to Rs. 31.42 Cr. in FY25 (FY24: Rs. 26.95 Cr.); however, EBITDA margin moderated to 51.83% (FY24: 57.49%), PAT stood at Rs. 10.63 Cr. in FY25 (FY24: Rs. 12.57 Cr.), with the decline primarily attributable to higher interest costs and depreciation. In FY26 (estimated), the company reported revenue of ~Rs. 70.93 Cr. (FY25: Rs. 60.63 Cr.) and EBITDA of Rs. 35.47 Cr. (FY25: Rs. 31.42 Cr.), supported by healthy fleet utilisation and contribution from newly added equipment. Acuité believes that the company’s operating performance is expected to improve gradually, supported by stable utilisation and incremental fleet additions.

Weaknesses
Moderate financial risk profile
OIPL’s financial risk profile is moderate, marked by moderate gearing, net worth and debt protection metrics. The net worth of the company stood modest at Rs. 56.04 Cr. as on March 31, 2025 (As on March 31, 2024: Rs. 45.41 Cr.), primarily driven by retention of profits. The gearing (debt-to-equity) is moderate at 1.78 times as on March 31, 2025 (March 31, 2024: 1.60 times). Debt protection indicators are moderate, with the interest coverage ratio (ICR) at 4.46 times in FY25 (FY24: 5.80 times) and the debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) deteriorating to 1.31 times in FY25 (FY24: 1.46 times). The net cash accruals to total debt (NCA/TD) ratio stood at 0.21 times in FY25 (FY24: 0.30 times). The Debt-to-EBITDA ratio is high at 3.01 times in FY25 (FY24: 2.34 times). In FY26, the company undertook capital expenditure of approximately Rs. 70 Cr. towards acquisition of crawler cranes, tyre-mounted cranes and piling rigs to expand its fleet and support operations, the capex is funded through debt of ~Rs. 65.00 Cr and rest through own funds, which is likely to further moderate the coverage indicators thereby impacting overall financial risk profile. Acuité believes, that regular capex requirement which is inherent in the business is likely to keep the financial risk profile moderate and leverage elevated for the medium to long term.

Working capital intensive nature of operations
The working capital operations of the company are intensive, marked by Gross Current Asset (GCA) days of 315 days in FY25 (FY24: 267 days), with the increase primarily driven by higher current assets and debtor levels. The debtor collection period stood at 151 days in FY25 (FY24: 150 days), with the average collection period remaining in the range of 150–160 days. The elevated debtor levels are attributable to the company’s customer profile, comprising EPC contractors, where payments are typically received upon release of funds from the respective departments. However, the average utilisation of consolidated fund-based limits remained moderate at around 45% over the four months ended April 2026. Acuité believes the operations of the company would remain working capital intensive due to its nature of business.

Exposure to cyclicality in end user industry
The company’s operations remain exposed to cyclicality in the infrastructure and industrial sectors, as demand for crane and construction equipment rental is largely dependent on project execution, capital expenditure by private players and government-led infrastructure spending. Any slowdown in infrastructure activity, delay in project execution or moderation in industrial capex could impact equipment utilisation levels and consequently the company’s revenue and profitability. However, the risk is partially mitigated by the company’s established relationships with reputed clientele such as Larsen & Toubro, Reliance Industries and Ultratech cement across diversified end-user segment.

Rating Sensitivities

Potential triggers (individual or collective) for an upward rating action:
  • Consistent improvement in scale of operations surpassing Rs. 100 Cr while sustaining the healthy profitability.
  • Improvement in working capital cycle
  • Improvement in financial risk profile
Potential triggers (individual or collective) for a downward rating action:
  • Significant decline in revenue and profitability
  • Deterioration in financial risk profile with gearing (debt to equity) above 2.5 times and DSCR below 1.10 times on a sustained basis
Liquidity Position
Adequate
The Company’s liquidity position is adequate, supported by net cash accruals of Rs. 21.23 Cr. in FY2025 against maturing debt obligations of Rs. 14.51 Cr., during the year. Further, the company is expected to generate cash accruals in the range of Rs. 22.15–26.92 Cr., against repayment obligations of Rs. 19.88 Cr. over the medium term. Reliance on fund-based working capital limits is moderate, with an average utilisation of 45.36% over the four months ending April 2026. The cash and bank balance stood at Rs. 0.03 Cr. and the current ratio stood at 0.73 times as of March 31, 2025. Acuité believes that the company’s liquidity position will remain adequate over the medium term on account of expected steady cash accruals.
