Rating Rationale

­­Acuité has reaffirmed its long-term rating of 'ACUITE BBB' (read as ACUITE Triple B) on the Rs.51.00 Cr. bank facilities and reaffirmed its short-term rating of ‘ACUITE A2’ (read as ACUITE A two) on the Rs.70.00 Cr. bank facilities of Anish Infracon India Private Limited (AIIPL). The outlook is revised from 'Negative' to ‘Stable'.

Rationale for rating
The rating reaffirmation and outlook revision from Negative to Stable considers AIIPL's better-than anticipated operational and financial performance in FY2026 (Prov.), marked by higher revenue, improved profitability and improved debt protection metrics. The revision also takes note of the comfortable outstanding order book of ~Rs.808 Cr. as on 31st March 2026 providing medium-term revenue visibility. However, the rating continues to remain constrained by its working capital-intensive operations, significant order book concentration on one project (71% of order book) and ongoing support extended to SPVs. Going forward, timely execution of orders and growth in operating performance remains a key rating monitorable.

Analytical Approach
­­­Acuité has considered the standalone business and financial risk profiles of the Anish Infracon India Private Limited (AIIPL) to arrive at this rating.
 
Key Rating Drivers

Strengths

Experienced management and established execution track record
AIIPL benefits from the extensive experience of its promoters, who have been associated with the civil construction industry for over four decades. The long operational track record has helped the company develop strong relationships with government authorities and clients while maintaining a demonstrated record of timely execution of infrastructure projects across roads and civil construction segments. The management's experience continues to support project acquisition and execution capabilities.

Comfortable order book position providing medium-term revenue visibility
AIIPL had an outstanding order book of approximately Rs.808 Cr. as on March 31, 2026, providing healthy revenue visibility over the medium term. The order book is expected to be executed over FY2027 and FY2028 and is supported by projects awarded by reputed counterparties. Further, the company has participated in bids aggregating around Rs.3,000 Cr, which may support business growth over the medium term.

Improved operating performance
The company's operating performance improved significantly in FY2026 (Prov.), with revenue increasing to Rs.182.76 Cr. from Rs.86.23 Cr. in FY2025, driven by the commencement and gradual execution of projects. Profitability also improved, with EBITDA margin increasing to 11.08% in FY2026 (Prov.) from 7.50% in FY2025 and PAT margin improving to 6.93% from 4.10% during the same period. The improvement was supported by better absorption of fixed costs and improved execution levels.

Moderate financial risk profile
AIIPL's financial risk profile remains moderate, characterized by a comfortable capital structure and healthy debt protection metrics. The tangible net worth improved to Rs.164.71 crore as on March 31, 2026 (Prov.) from Rs.152.04 crore as on March 31, 2025, aided by accretion of profits to reserves. The debt-to-equity ratio improved to 0.26 times from 0.29 times, while debt coverage indicators strengthened, with interest coverage ratio improving to 8.45 times in FY2026 (Prov.) from 5.82 times in FY2025, debt service coverage ratio stood at 6.95 times in FY2026 (Prov.) from 5.08 times in FY2025, and Debt-to-EBITDA improving to 1.79 times in FY2026 (Prov.) from 4.10 times in FY2025.


Weaknesses

Significant order book concentration risk
Despite maintaining a comfortable order book, AIIPL remains exposed to concentration risk, with around 71% of the outstanding order book linked to a single project, namely Sandalpur Project Private Limited (SPPL). Any delay in execution, slowdown in project progress, or adverse developments related to the project could have a material impact on the company's revenue generation and cash flow profile.

Working capital-intensive operations
The company's operations remain working capital intensive, as reflected by high gross current asset (GCA) days of 401 days in FY2026 (Prov.), albeit improved from 436 days in FY2025. The working capital requirements are driven by elongated receivable cycles, retention money, and substantial advances and deposits extended in the normal course of business. Effective management of working capital will remain critical, particularly with the expected ramp-up in project execution.­

Exposure towards SPV funding requirements and competitive tender-based nature of operations
AIIPL continues to support its SPVs through equity infusion and unsecured loans. During FY2026, the company infused substantial funds into SPPL, with further support expected in FY2027. Any sizeable additional financial support or debt-funded investments in SPVs may impact its financial risk profile. Further, the company operates in a highly competitive tender-based infrastructure sector, where intense competition and aggressive bidding practices may exert pressure on margins and limit pricing flexibility.

Rating Sensitivities

Potential triggers (individual or collective) for an upward rating action:
  • Sustained improvement in operating performance with revenues reaching above ~Rs.450 Cr along with improvement in the profitability margins.
  • Sustaining order book position along with timely execution.
  • Improvement in the working capital cycle.
Potential triggers (individual or collective) for a downward rating action:
  • Deterioration in operating performance with revenues falling below ~Rs.200 Cr or decline in profitability margins.
  • Further elongation in working capital cycle or increased reliance on working capital borrowings, leading to deterioration in the financial risk profile.
Liquidity Position
Adequate

AIIPL’s liquidity position is adequate, marked by net cash accruals of Rs.16.79 Cr in FY2026 (Prov.) against nil repayment obligation during the same period. Going forward, the cash accruals are expected to be in the range of ~Rs.26-28 Cr in FY27 & FY28 against very minimal repayment obligation of ~Rs.4 Cr & ~Rs.3 Cr during the same period. The reliance on bank limits stood moderate for fund based limits at ~50.07% and low for non-fund based limits ~26% for the last 06 months ending June 2026.

The current ratio moderated to 1.33 times as on March 31, 2026 (Prov.), against 3.42 times as on March 31, 2025, primarily due to increase in current liabilities (mobilisation advance from Sandalpur Project Private Limited). The cash and bank balances stood at Rs.1.97 Cr as on 31st March 2026 (Prov.).
