Key Rating Drivers

Strengths
Established track record and extensive experience of promoters
CAPL was incorporated in 2002 reflecting an established track record of operations for more than two decades in the auto ancillary industry. The company is authorized distributors of various two wheelers across the southern part of the country. The promoters of the company including Mr. Pardha Saradhi Unnam, have more than two decades of experience in the respective business. The experience of promoters also helped the company to established long term relationships with leading two-wheeler OEMs such as TVS Motors, Royal Enfield among others along with auto ancillary companies such as Minda Industries. Acuité believes that CAPL will continue to benefit from extensive experience of the promoters along with longstanding relationship over the medium term.

Weaknesses
­Instance of delays in servicing of debt obligation
