Errata- This press release publishes inclusion of a Criterion in the heading of Applicable Criteria and All Covenants in the rationale of Suvita Real Estates Private Limited which was erroneously missed in the earlier PR. The detailed review of the rating was communicated through press release dated February 21, 2024.

Rating Rationale

Acuité has converted the provisional rating of ACUITE Provisional C (Read as Acuite Provisional C) to final and assigned the long-term rating of ACUITE C (read as ACUITE C) on Rs. 105.00 Cr of Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) of Suvita Real Estates Private limited (SREPL)

The conversion from provisional rating to the final rating reflects the fulfilment of the appointment of a SEBI registered debenture trustee, execution of debenture trust deed, receipt of the final term sheet and confirmation from trustee regarding compliance.


Rationale for rating
The rating takes into account the delay in the repayments of existing NCD by company which was due on 30th September 2023. Further, the rating also factors in the refinancing of NCDs which happened at a significant higher coupon payment, creating an additional stress on its liquidity.

About the Company
Incorporated in 2019, Suvita Real Estate Private Limited (SREPL) is wholly own subsidiary of Shapoorji Pallonji Real Estate Private Limited (SPREPL) (Formerly known as Shapoorji Pallonji Construction Private Limited) and the ultimate parent company is Shapoorji Pallonji and Company Private Limited.

Key Rating Drivers

Strengths
Strong and experienced promoter
Incorporated in 2019, Suvita Real Estate Private Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of Shapoorji Pallonji Construction Private Limited which is further fully owned by Shapoorji Pallonji and Company Private Limited. SREPL on a standalone basis is not into any day-today operations. The Shapoorji Pallonji group is one of the well established and diversified group in India, having operations in various fields such as construction, real estate, infrastructure, Water, Energy etc, having significant value of land and property holdings.

Weaknesses
Delay in repayment of previous NCD
SREPL in October 2020 has issued non-convertible debenture worth Rs.75.00 crore to Blackrock-Asia Pacific Private Credit Opportunities 1 Singapore Pte. Ltd which was due for repayment in September 2023. Further, the company has successfully issued a new NCD, which will be used to repay the existing NCD and creation of DSRA as mentioned in term sheet.

Higher Interest burden
The company has successfully refinanced the existing NCD. However, the refinancing of the same has happened at a significantly higher coupon rate creating an additional stress on liquidity of the company. Further the current NCD has been issued for a period of shorter period of 15 months, creating an additional repayment obligation in short term.    
Rating Sensitivities
  • Timely coupon payments 
 
All Covenants
  1. Hypothecation of 100% receivables, Development Rights, FSI of the collateral Security, and any other rights and benefits.
  2. Minimum Asset Cover of 2.0x at all times.
  3. Minimum Free Cash Flow Cover of 2.0x at all times.
 
Liquidity Position
Poor
The liquidity of the company is marked poor as it had previously defaulted on its NCD repayment obligations. Further, the company has refinanced the same at a higher coupon payment. Going ahead, the group will be monetizing land to repay the current NCD.
