Rating Rationale

Acuite has assigned the long term rating of 'ACUITE B' (read as ACUITE B)' on the Rs 10.00 Cr. bank loan facilities of Enorme Capital Private Limited. The Outlook is "Stable".

Rationale for Rating
The rating assigned to Enorme Capital Private Limited (ECPL) reflects its small scale of operations, low capitalisation, weak profitability and high geographical concentration in the state of Tamil Nadu. The company’s assets under management remained small at Rs.9.73 crore as on March 31, 2025. The rating also factors in ECPL’s moderate asset quality, with GNPA and NNPA at 8.83 percent and 1.60 percent, respectively, as on March 31, 2025, compared with 11.22 percent and 2.81 percent, respectively, as on March 31, 2024. 
The capital structure is marked by a net worth of Rs. 5.92 crore, CAR of 61.46 percent and moderate leverage, with a gearing of 0.58 times as on March 31, 2025. The rating is supported by the experience of the management team and directors.
Going forward company’s resource raising ability, improvement in asset quality across different time buckets, improvement in profitability metrics and AUM while maintaining healthy Capitalization levels would be key rating sensitivities.

Key Rating Drivers

Strength
­Experienced management
The company is led by an experienced management, comprising Mrs. K Vijayalakshmi, Mr. V P Vishnu Prasad, Mr. N Pandian and Mr. P Kandasamy, who collectively brings over a decades of experience across lending and banking operations. Acuité believes that ECPL will continue to benefit through the experienced management.

 

Weakness
­Small scale of operations
The company continues to operate at a nascent stage, with AUM of Rs. 11.02 crore as on December 2025. Although the AUM has increased from Rs. 6.06 crore in FY2024 to Rs. 9.73 crore in FY2025, the overall scale of operations remains modest. The growth in the loan portfolio is reflected in disbursements of Rs. 8.60 crore during FY2025 compared to Rs. 4.72 crore in FY2024.
ECPL continues to exhibit high geographical concentration, with its operations limited to Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh through a network of two branches in Tamil Nadu as on December 31, 2025. Tamil Nadu accounts for a predominant share of 95.40% of the loan portfolio, while Andhra Pradesh contributes the remaining.
Acuité believes that the company’s ability to sustain growth in its loan book, while maintaining sound asset quality levels over the near to medium term, will be a key rating monitorable.

Low capitalisation levels
ECPL’s capitalization profile remains constrained by its low net worth base. The net worth stood modest at Rs. 5.92 crore as on March 31, 2025 (Rs. 6.70 crore as on December 2025). The company reported an overall CAR of 61.46 percent as on March 31, 2025 (61.94 percent as on December 2025), supported entirely by Tier-I capital.  ECPL’s gearing ratio has increased from 0.58 times in March 2025 to 0.62 times in December 2025.

Weak profitability metrics amid elevated credit costs
The profitability profile of the company remains weak, impacted by moderation in asset quality and elevated credit costs. ECPL reported GNPA and NNPA at 8.83 percent and 1.60%, respectively, as on FY2025, compared with GNPA of 11.22 percent and NNPA of 2.81 percent as on FY2024, leading to increased provisioning requirements. Provisions increased to Rs. 0.21 crore in FY2025 from Rs. 0.09 crore in FY2024, reflecting higher credit costs. Consequently, despite growth in interest income, profitability indicators moderated in FY2025, with return on average assets (RoAA) and return on average net worth (RoNW) declining to 9.28 percent and 15.57 percent for FY25, respectively, from 11.84 percent and 20.36 percent in FY24. Acuité believes that the company’s ability to control credit costs and stabilise asset quality will be critical to improving its profitability profile over the near to medium term.

Rating Sensitivity

Potential triggers (individual or collective) for an upward rating action:
  • Sustained improvement in the company’s profitability metrics, reflecting in RoAA above 12.00 percent.
  • Consistent improvement in AUM, while expanding geographical presence.
Potential triggers (individual or collective) for a downward rating action:
  • ­­Weakening capital position and increase in gearing ratio
Liquidity Position
Adequate
ECPL’s funding profile comprises long-term borrowings of Rs 2.01 crore, which include unsecured loans from directors on which there is no interest payment obligation. Short-term borrowings primarily consist of a sanctioned overdraft facility of Rs. 4.00 crore. There are no negative cumulative mis-matches in ALM dated on December 31, 2025.
