Rating Rationale

Acuité has reaffirmed the long-term rating at ‘ACUITE A+’ (read as ACUITE A plus) on the Rs. 170 Cr. bank facilities and the short-term rating of 'ACUITE A1’ (read as ACUITE A one) on the Rs. 330 Cr. bank facilities of Godavari Commodities Limited (GCL). The outlook is ‘Stable’.
Acuité has assigned the long-term rating at ‘ACUITE A+’ (read as ACUITE A plus) on the Rs. 60 Cr. bank facilities and the short-term rating of 'ACUITE A1’ (read as ACUITE A one) on the Rs. 40 Cr. bank facilities of Godavari Commodities Limited (GCL). The outlook is ‘Stable’

Rationale for rating
The rating takes into cognizance the improvement in the revenues to Rs. 2197.57 Cr. in FY 26(Prov.) as compared to Rs. 1972.25 Cr. in FY 25 on account of increase in volume sold albeit decline in realisation and improvement in operating profitability to 6.52 percent in FY 26(Prov.) as compared to Rs. 5.70 percent in FY 25 due to better absorption of costs. The financial risk profile of the company is healthy marked by increasing networth, low gearing and robust debt coverage indicators. Further, it factors in the strong liquidity profile marked by healthy cash accrual generation against minimal repayment obligations and moderate reliance on working capital limits. The company has also diversified into civil construction from FY 25, working for Government bodies which forms a smaller portion of the revenue generation. Furthermore, it considers extensive experience of its promoters and established operational track record of over three decades in the coal trading industry. However, the rating remains constrained by the intensive working capital cycle and presence in an intensively competitive industry.

About the Company

The company also provides coal handling, supervision, and transportation services. The company has further diversified into civil construction from FY 25 working for Government bodies.

Analytical Approach

Acuité has considered the standalone business and financial risk profile of GCL to arrive at this rating.

Key Rating Drivers

Strengths

Experienced management
The promoter, Mr. Padam Chand Bhutoria and the Bhutoria family has more than three decades of experience in the coal trading business. The present directors of the company are Ms. Payal Bafna, Mr. Arun Kumar Maitra, Mr. Indraj Mal Bhutoria, Mr. Kamal Singh Bhutoria and Mr. Pranab Ray. The benefits derived from the promoters and long-track record of operations have helped them to establish longstanding relationships with suppliers and reputed customers. Acuité believes that the extensive experience of the company’s management will continue to support the business going forward.

Improving revenues and operating profitability
The revenues of the company have increased to Rs. 2197.57 Cr. in FY 26(Prov.) as compared to Rs. 1972.25 Cr. in FY 25 on account of increase in volume sold despite decline in realization. The company has achieved revenues of about Rs.519.12 Cr. as of Q1FY27. The operating profitability has increased to 6.52 percent in FY 26(Prov.) as compared to 5.70 percent in FY 25 on account of better absorption of costs.
The company has entered into civil construction business, that of buildings, rail bridges among others since FY 25 and it forms 2 percent of revenues in FY 26(Prov). The unexecuted orderbook position stands at Rs. 253.40 Cr. as of June 2026 to be executed within 12-24 months. Acuite believes that the scale of operations and operating profitability is expected to increase with the diversification into civil construction along with coal trading business.

Healthy financial risk profile
The financial risk profile of the company stood healthy, marked by improving net worth, low gearing and robust debt protection metrics. The tangible net worth of the company increased to Rs. 1053.95 Cr. as of March 31, 2026(Prov.) as compared to Rs. 946.19 Cr. on March 31, 2025, due to accretion of profits to reserves. The gearing (debt-equity) ratio stood below unity, and it stood at 0.04 times as on 31 March 2026(Prov.) as compared to 0.15 times as on 31 March 2025. The debt protection metrics where the Interest Coverage Ratio stood at 9.91 times for FY2026(Prov.) and Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) stood at 6.41 times in FY2026(Prov). Total outside Liabilities/Total Net Worth (TOL/TNW) stood at 0.48 times as on 31 March 2026(Prov.) as against 0.63 times as on 31 March 2025. Net Cash Accruals to Total Debt (NCA/TD) stood at 2.55 times for FY2026(Prov.) as against 0.67 times for FY2025. Going forward, Acuité believes that the financial risk profile of the company will remain healthy backed by steady accruals and no major debt funded capex plans.

Weaknesses

Intensive nature of working capital operations
The working capital cycle of the company is intensive in nature marked by increasing Gross Current Assets (GCA) of 213 days as on March 31,2026(Prov.) as compared to 230 days as on March 31,2025. The inventory days decreased to 40 days in FY2026(Prov.) as compared to 66 days in FY2025. The inventory holding for the company on an average is around 60 days. The debtor days stood at 82 days in FY2026(Prov.) as against 89 days in FY2025. The average credit period allowed to customers on an average is around 70-90 days. In terms of EPC, it is a monthly basis billing, the payments are received within 1-2 months. The other current assets amounts to Rs. 429.53 Cr. in FY 26(Prov.) as compared to Rs. 333.23 Cr. in FY 25 Further, the creditor days stood at 81 days in FY2026(Prov.) as compared to 125 days in FY2025. Acuité believes that the working capital operations of the company is expected to remain at similar levels given the nature of the industry over the medium term.

Rating Sensitivities

Potential triggers (individual or collective) for an upward rating action:

Improvement in the revenues in the medium-term alongwith improved operating profitability increase to 7-8 percent
Reduction in other current assets reducing the working capital intensity

Potential triggers (individual or collective) for a downward rating action:

Deterioration in the revenues and operating profitability
Elongation of working capital cycle to more than 275 days
Increase in exposure to other entities limiting the company’s available liquidity

Liquidity Position

Strong

The company’s liquidity position is strong marked by generation of sufficient net cash accruals of Rs. 108.71 Cr. in FY2026(Prov.) as against its minimal debt obligations of Rs. 3.31 Cr. in the same tenure. The company also maintains free deposits with bank. The cash and bank balances of the company stood at Rs. 130.91 Cr. as on March 31, 2026(Prov.) as compared to Rs. 90.89 Cr. as on March 31, 2025. The current ratio stood at 2.57 times as on March 31, 2026(Prov.), as compared to 2.16 times as on March 31, 2025. The average utilisation of fund-based limits at 63.46% over the past twelve months ending June 2026, and non-fund based limit utilisation at 56.57% during the same period. Going ahead, liquidity position of the company is expected to remain strong on account of steady accruals against nominal repayment obligation and in the absence of any debt funded capex plans.

Note on complexity levels of the rated instrument

In order to inform the investors about complexity of instruments, Acuité has categorized such instruments in three levels: Simple, Complex and Highly Complex. Acuite’s categorisation of the instruments across the three categories is based on factors like variability of the returns to the investors, uncertainty in cash flow patterns, number of counterparties and general understanding of the instrument by the market. It has to be understood that complexity is different from credit risk and even an instrument categorized as 'Simple' can carry high levels of risk. For more details, please refer Rating Criteria “Complexity Level Of Financial Instruments” on www.acuite.in.
