Rating Rationale |
|
Acuite has assigned its long-term rating of ‘ACUITÉ BB' (read as ACUITE Double B) and short-term rating of ‘ACUITÉ A4+’ (read as ACUITE A four plus) on Rs. 58.11 Cr. bank facilities of Shree Ashtavinayak Glass Private Limited (SAGPL). The outlook is ‘Stable’.
Rationale for Rating
The rating assigned reflects the managements’ extensive experience in the industry and established operational track record along with company’s stable growth in operating performance. However, these strengths are offset by the company’s average financial risk profile marked by low net worth and high gearing, moderately intensive working capital operations, and susceptibility of profitability to raw material price fluctuations. |

|
| Key Rating Drivers |
| Strengths |
| Established operational track record and extensive promoter experience
SAGPL has been operating in the glass industry for more than a decade, reflecting an established operational track record. The company is promoted and managed by Mr. Aditya Suresh Agarwal, Mr. Suresh Kumar, and Mr. Ritesh Agarwal, supported by an experienced management team. The promoters have over a decade of experience in the industry, which has helped the company build relationships with key suppliers and customers. The company is engaged in the processing and supply of architectural and industrial glass products. It undertakes various value-added glass processing activities such as cutting, edging, drilling, washing, tempering, printing, and double-glazing. The company caters to end-user industries such as real estate, commercial buildings, home appliances, interiors, and related infrastructure segments. Over the years, it has also diversified its operations into façade contracting, partition solutions, and turnkey interior execution for commercial and residential projects. SAGPL primarily procures raw glass from established suppliers and carries out further processing at its manufacturing facility, which is equipped with automated glass processing machinery. Its clientele includes companies such as Godrej & Boyce Mfg. Co. Ltd., among others. 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.
Stable growth in operating performance
SAGPL reported revenue of Rs. 92.40 Cr. in FY25 (FY24: Rs. 75.61 Cr.). The increase in revenue was driven by higher order execution and increased contribution from the contracting and value-added glass processing business. EBITDA improved to Rs. 11.24 Cr. in FY25 (FY24: Rs. 8.09 Cr.), while EBITDA margin improved to 12.17 per cent (FY24: 10.70 per cent), supported by a higher contribution from the relatively better-margin contracting and installation segment. PAT also improved and stood at Rs. 4.68 Cr. in FY25 (FY24: Rs. 1.91 Cr.). In FY26 (Est.), the company reported revenue of around Rs. 90.83 Cr. and EBITDA of around Rs. 15.00 Cr., supported by steady order execution and an increasing share of the contracting business. Acuité believes that the company’s operating performance is expected to improve gradually over the near to medium term. |
| Weaknesses |
| Average financial risk profile
SAGPL’s financial risk profile is average, marked by high gearing, low net worth, and moderate debt protection metrics. The company’s net worth stood at Rs. 15.32 Cr. as on March 31, 2025 (as on March 31, 2024: Rs. 10.46 Cr.), primarily due to retention of profits. The gearing (debt-to-equity) stood high at 3.07 times as on March 31, 2025 (March 31, 2024: 4.16 times). Debt protection metrics remained moderate, with interest coverage ratio (ICR) at 2.66 times in FY25 (FY24: 1.96 times) and debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) at 1.22 times in FY25 (FY24: 1.42 times). The NCA/TD ratio stood at 0.16 times in FY25 (FY24: 0.10 times), while debt-to-EBITDA remained high at 3.87 times in FY25 (FY24: 4.82 times). In FY26, the company undertook capital expenditure towards acquisition of plant and machinery, funded primarily through debt of Rs. 15.00 Cr. This is likely to moderate the debt protection metrics and impact the overall financial risk profile to an extent. Acuité believes that the company’s financial risk profile is likely to remain average over the near to medium term on account of modest net worth base.
Moderately intensive working capital management The company’s working capital operations are moderately intensive, as reflected in gross current asset (GCA) of 180 days in FY25 (FY24: 167 days). The increase was primarily due to higher debtor days. The debtor collection period stood at 130 days in FY25 (FY24: 112 days), with the average collection period remaining in the range of 110–130 days. The inventory holding period declined to 35 days in FY25 (FY24: 42 days). The creditor payment period stood at 76 days in FY25 (FY24: 71 days), while the average credit period availed by the company remained at around 60–70 days. Further, the average utilisation of fund-based limits remained high at around 83.39 per cent over the six months ended February 2026. Acuité believes that the company’s working capital operations are likely to remain moderately intensive over the near to medium term, owing to the nature of its business. Susceptibility of profitability to raw material price fluctuations The company’s profitability remains susceptible to fluctuations in raw material prices, particularly glass and allied input materials, as any sharp volatility in procurement costs may impact margins, given the limited ability to pass on price increases immediately to customers. Further, the company’s growing focus on contracting and interior execution business exposes it to project execution risks, including delays in completion, changes in project timelines, and cost overruns, which may adversely impact profitability and cash flows.

| Liquidity Position |
| Adequate |
|
The Company’s liquidity position is adequate, supported by net cash accruals of Rs. 7.74 Cr. in FY2025 against maturing debt obligations of Rs. 5.49 Cr., during the year. Further, the company is expected to generate cash accruals in the range of Rs. 9.18–11.48 Cr., against repayment obligations of Rs. 9.13 – 4.29 Cr. over the medium term. Reliance on fund-based working capital limits is high, with an average utilisation of 83.39% over the six months ending February 2026. The cash and bank balance stood at Rs. 0.24 Cr. and the current ratio stood at 1.05 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.
