Rating Rationale |
|
Acuité has reaffirmed and withdrawn the long-term rating of ‘ACUITE BB+’ (read as ACUITE double B plus) on the Rs.12.00 Cr. bank facilities of Govind Steel Company Limited (GSCL).
Acuité has reaffirmed and withdrawn the short-term rating to ‘ACUITE A4+’ (read as ACUITE A four plus) on the Rs.3.00 Cr. bank facilities of Govind Steel Company Limited (GSCL). Acuité has withdrawn its proposed short-term rating on the Rs.5.00 Cr. bank facilities of Govind Steel Company Limited (GSCL) without assigning any rating as it is a proposed facility. The rating has been withdrawn on Acuite's policy of withdrawal of rating as applicable to the respective facility / instrument. The rating has been withdrawn on account of the request received from the company, and the No Objection Certificate received from the banker. Rationale for the reaffirmation The rating on group considers the healthy Net worth of the group, The rating also draws comfort from the experienced promoters and the group’s long track record in the industry. These strengths are however, offset by the working capital-intensive in nature of operations along with the intense competition and inherent cyclical nature of the steel industry. |

| Key Rating Drivers |
| Strengths |
| Experienced management and established track record of operations
The group is led by the second and third generation directors, Mr. Dinesh Kumar Seksaria, Mr. Chatar Singh Kathotia and Mr. Gaurav Seksaria, who hold experience of more than two decades in the iron and steel casting industry. The extensive experience of the promoters is reflected through the established relationship with its customers and suppliers. The key customers of the company have no major concentration in revenues. On the back of the stable and repeat orders by the various customers, the group has set up its second unit for manufacturing with a modern foundry in Jan’21. Acuité believes that going forward the vast experience of the management and long tracks record of operations will continue to support the business. Average financial risk profile The group has an average financial risk profile is marked by healthy net worth, comfortable gearing and healthy debt protection metrics. The tangible net worth has increased to Rs. 186.44 Cr. as on FY2024 (Prov.) as compared to Rs.284.07 Cr. as on FY2023 due to accretion of reserves. The gearing of the group stood at 0.86 times as on FY2024 (Prov.) as compared to 1.31 times as on FY2023. The Total outside Liabilities/Tangible Net Worth (TOL/TNW) stood low at 1.00 times as on FY2024 (Prov.) as against 1.82 times as on FY2023. The debt protection metrics of the group marked by comfortable Interest Coverage Ratio (ICR) at NIL as on FY2024 (Prov.) as compared to 3.31 times as on FY2023 and Debt Service Coverage Ratio at 2.38 times as on FY2024 (Prov.) as compared to 1.16 times as on FY2023. Net Cash Accruals/Total Debt (NCA/TD) stood low at 0.18 times as on FY2024 (Prov.). Acuité believes that financial risk profile is expected to be remain average over the medium term in absence of major debt funded capex plans. |
| Weaknesses |
| Working capital intensive nature of operations
The working capital-intensive nature of operations of the group is marked by high Gross Current Asset days (GCA) of 205 days as on FY2024 (Prov.) as compared to 136 days of FY2023 due to significantly changes in high other current asset. However, the debtor days stood comfortable at 35 days as on FY2024 (Prov.) as compared to 43 days as on FY2023. The inventory period stood relatively low at 62 days as on FY2024 (Prov.) as compared to 70 days FY2023 respectively. Acuité believes that the working capital management of KAIIPL’s will remain intensive given the nature of the industry. Susceptibility of profit margins to prices of raw material Majority of raw material, i.e., MS scrap and pig iron are sourced locally. During the past three years, raw material cost remained the major cost driver for the group. The group has witnessed a drop in profitability margins the past. Accordingly, any adverse movement in prices of raw materials impacting the margins and thereby deterioration in financial risk profile of the group. |

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.
