Rating Rationale

Acuité has upgraded the long-term rating to 'ACUITE BBB+' (read as ACUITE triple B plus) from ‘ACUITE BBB’ (read as ACUITE triple B) on the Rs.70.00 Cr. bank loan facilities of Mahaavir Superstructures Private Limited (MSPL). The outlook is ‘Stable’.

Rationale for rating
MSPL had appealed the rating assigned on the existing bank facilities to it on May 19th, 2026 and had provided incremental information based on which the rating is being upgraded. The rating upgrade takes into account the healthy cumulative surplus of Rs.146.16 Cr. generated by the company from its projects, Mahaavir Exotique – Phase I and II and Aikyam. The same has largely been reinvested into ongoing projects, supporting construction progress and operational continuity, thereby reducing dependence on external borrowings. Apart from project deployment, the company has also utilized surplus towards the acquisition of land parcels, providing long-term development visibility. As on 9th June 2026, the company has a total land bank of approximately 1,57,844 sq. mtrs., recorded at an estimated book value of Rs. 78.31 Cr.

The rating further factors that the construction of Mahaavir Exotique Phase I being fully completed ahead of schedule by February 2026 with close to full sales achievement as on 31st March 2026. Further, the project fundamentals across all ongoing projects - Mahaavir Exotique Phase II, Aikyam, and Mahaavir Amber are healthy, driven by higher sales momentum, improving receivables position, and enhanced financial flexibility. Additionally, the adequate customer advance inflows coupled with the absence of near term debt repayment obligations and steady construction progress are expected to support an average cash coverage ratio (CCR) of more than two times during FY2027 to FY2029. The rating further draws comfort from the experienced promoters, locational advantage, and strong brand presence in Navi Mumbai.

However, the rating remains constrained by the exposure of ongoing projects to execution, demand, and implementation risks. Additionally, the proposed launch of Mahaavir Exotique Phase III in FY2027 is expected to carry similar risk exposures. Acuité also notes the company’s susceptibility to real estate cyclicality and regulatory risks.

Unsupported Rating

Not Applicable

Analytical Approach

Acuité has considered the standalone view of the business and financial risk profile of Mahaavir Superstructures Private Limited (MSPL) to arrive at the rating.

Key Rating Drivers

Strengths

Experienced management and strong brand presence in Navi Mumbai
MSPL incorporated in the year 2019, is a part of Mahaavir Group, having an established operational track record of over three decades. MSPL is engaged in developing residential real estate development projects, primarily in Navi Mumbai, and is promoted by Mr. Omprakash Chhajer, who possesses more than three decades of varied experience across sectors like textile trading, manufacturing of edible oil, and real estate. He is supported by his son, Mr. Mohnish Chhajer, and a team of experienced professionals in managing day-to-day operations. The projects executed by the company are based in the Navi Mumbai region, which has witnessed steady residential and commercial real estate activities and demand supported by improving infrastructure connectivity, proximity to Mumbai, upcoming metro projects, Navi Mumbai International Airport, and planned urban development.

The company currently has three ongoing projects - Mahaavir Exotique Phase II, Aikyam (joint development with Today Royal Group), and Mahaavir Amber. The company also plans to launch Mahaavir Exotique Phase III in FY2027, for which RERA approval is yet to be received by the company. The extensive experience of the promoters has enabled MSPL to establish a healthy relationship with the contractors and the material suppliers. Acuité believes that, supported by its locational advantage, extensive experience of the promoters, and established execution capabilities, the company is well-placed to complete and deliver its ongoing projects in a timely manner.

Healthy sales momentum across projects
The construction of Mahaavir Exotique Phase I has been fully completed ahead of schedule by February 2026 (originally scheduled for completion by December 2026), with 96.78% of inventory sold as on 31st March, 2026. Moreover, the sales momentum across the ongoing projects - Mahaavir Exotique Phase II, Aikyam, and Mahaavir Amber remained healthy, supported by a steady inflow of customer advances. The combined inventory sold under Mahaavir Exotique Phase II and Aikyam stood at 83.53% as on 31st March, 2026, against 44.38% as on 31st December, 2024. In Mahaavir Amber, sales remained moderate, with 25.79% inventory sold vis-à-vis 38.98% cost incurred as on 31st March, 2026. Further, as on 31st March, 2026, the company has outstanding receivables estimated at Rs. 120 Cr. to Rs. 130 Cr. from sold inventory and an additional Rs. 80 Cr. to Rs. 90 Cr. from unsold units, which are expected to be realized in the near to medium term. Acuité expects MSPL’s established execution track record and market presence to continue supporting steady sales momentum and collections.

Weaknesses

Exposure to Project Execution, Demand and Implementation Risks
Project execution risks persist for Mahaavir Exotique Phase II and Mahaavir Amber, wherein around 45% and 61% of the costs are yet to be incurred in the near to medium term. Demand risk is also associated with all the ongoing projects - Exotique Phase II, Aikyam, and Amber, given the balanced inventory yet to be sold coupled with the fragmented, unorganized nature of the Navi Mumbai real estate market, which heightens competitive pressure. Additionally, all projects are exposed to implementation risk with scheduled completion by FY2028. The proposed launch of Mahaavir Exotique Phase III in FY2027 further adds exposure to execution, demand, and implementation risks. The funding structure also exhibits a relatively higher reliance on customer advances, increasing susceptibility to delays in collections and customer payment behaviour. The company’s ability to command favourable realizations remains crucial. Acuité believes that timely project execution and timely realization of receivables will remain a key rating sensitivity over the medium term.

Susceptibility to Real Estate Cyclicality and Regulatory Risks
The real estate industry in India is highly fragmented, with most of the real estate developers having a city-specific or region-specific presence. Further, the risks associated with the real estate industry are cyclical in nature and directly linked to drops in property prices and interest rate risks, which could affect the operations. Given the high level of financial leverage, the high cost of borrowing prevents the real estate developers from significantly reducing prices to boost sales growth. Moreover, the industry is also exposed to certain regulatory risks linked to stamp duty and registration tax, directly impacting the demand and thus the operating growth of real estate players.

Rating Sensitivities

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

Timely realization of customer advances pending from sold inventory.
More than expected overall collection from committed receivables and unsold inventory.
Timely completion of the ongoing projects.

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

Lower than expected sales traction leading to dependence on debt for the ongoing projects.
Sharp decline in cash flow by slackened saleability of the project or delays in project execution.
Company’s average cash coverage ratio falls below 1.3 times.

Liquidity Position

Adequate

The liquidity position of MSPL is adequate, supported by the healthy cash flows being generated and the absence of near-term debt repayment obligations, which are expected to translate into an average cash coverage ratio (CCR) of more than two times during FY2027 to FY2029. Further, the company has generated a healthy cumulative surplus of Rs.146.16 Cr. generated by the company from its projects, Mahaavir Exotique – Phase I and II and Aikyam. The same has largely been reinvested into ongoing projects, supporting steady construction progress and operational continuity, thereby reducing dependence on external borrowings. Apart from project deployment, the company has also utilized surplus towards the acquisition of land parcels, providing long-term development visibility. As on 9^th June 2026, the company has a total land bank of approximately 1,57,844 sq. mtrs., recorded at an estimated book value of Rs. 78.31 Cr. Additionally, the promoters are also financially backed to infuse funds, if required, to meet cost escalations, as witnessed in the past projects. Acuité expects the liquidity position of the company to remain adequate, backed by healthy collections against its project funding coupled with stable cash inflows.

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.
