Rating Rationale

Acuité has reaffirmed its long-term rating of ‘ACUITE BBB+’ (read as ACUITE triple B plus) on the Rs.183.50 Cr. bank facilities and its short-term rating of ‘ACUITE A2+’ (read as ACUITE A two plus) on the Rs.61.50 Cr. bank facilities of Manaksia Aluminium Company Limited (MACL). The outlook is revised from 'Negative' to 'Stable'.

Acuité has assigned its long-term rating of ‘ACUITE BBB+’ (read as ACUITE triple B plus) on the Rs.8.73 Cr. bank facilities and its short-term rating of ‘ACUITE A2+’ (read as ACUITE A two plus) on the Rs.34.50 Cr. bank facilities of Manaksia Aluminium Company Limited (MACL). The outlook is 'Stable'.

Rationale for rating 

The revision in the outlook and rating reaffirmation
 reflects the company’s improving operating performance supported by growth in volumes and improved realisations, along with its diversified presence across domestic and export markets and established track record in aluminium rolled products, which support overall business stability. However, the credit profile remains constrained by moderate financial risk profile, working capital intensive operations, tightly matched liquidity position and exposure to commodity price volatility and regulatory risks. The revision in outlook from Negative to Stable factors in improved business stability and recovery in earnings visibility following better conditions in export markets.

Key Rating Drivers

Strengths

Improved operating performance supported by better realizations and diversification
The company has demonstrated improved operating performance in FY2026, with revenue increasing to Rs.563.91 Cr. from Rs.509.18 Cr. in FY2025, driven by higher realizations and marginal growth in sales volume. Despite challenges such as US tariff changes and raw material price volatility, profitability remained stable with operating margins of 8.25%. The company has also reduced its dependence on the US market by increasing domestic sales, thereby improving its revenue diversification and business stability.

Established market presence with export advantage and anti dumping duty exemption
MACL benefits from its long-standing presence in the aluminium flat rolled products segment and a diversified product portfolio catering to both domestic and export markets. The company continues to enjoy a key competitive advantage through its exemption from anti-dumping duty (ADD) in the US market, enabling unrestricted access and strengthening customer relationships. This, coupled with its status as a Three Star Export House, supports its export competitiveness.


Weaknesses

Working capital intensive nature of operations
The working capital intensive nature of operations of the company is marked by elevated gross current assets (GCA) of 245 days in FY2026, similar to FY2025 levels. Inventory levels remain inherently high due to import-led procurement cycles (~60 days lead time). However, management highlighted a reduction in physical inventory levels (from ~8,000 MT to ~6,500 MT) during FY2026, indicating improved inventory management despite stable reported GCA days. To support working capital and liquidity, the company has recently availed CGSE loan of Rs.50 Cr to support its working capital operations.

Receivables remain moderate, with debtor days typically in the 30–35 day range, though a temporary increase was observed towards year-end due to shipment timing differences. Collections were realized subsequently, mitigating credit risk concerns. Payables continue to provide support to the working capital cycle, with credit period of ~110–120 days through LC-backed imports, partially offsetting the high inventory holding. The average bank limit utilization (including fund and non fund based) stood moderate at 81.19% for the past 06 months ending March 2026.

The working capital intensity is structural to the business model and is expected to remain elevated but stable over the near term.

Moderate financial risk profile with stretched debt coverage
The company’s moderate financial risk profile is moderate marked by growing net worth, moderate gearing and comfortable debt protection metrics. The tangible net worth of the company improved and stood at Rs.161.84 Cr. as on March 31, 2026,  as against Rs.154.83 Cr. as on March 31, 2025. The increase in the net worth is primarily attributable to accretion of profits into reserves. The capital structure is further supported by subordinated unsecured loans from promoters/directors amounting to ~Rs.19.49 Cr.

The capital structure remains moderately leveraged, with total debt of Rs.221.59 Cr. as on March 31, 2026. The gearing improved to 1.37 times in FY2026 from 1.42 times in FY2025. The debt protection metrics showed marginal improvement, with interest coverage ratio increasing to 1.69 times in FY2026 from 1.60 times in FY2025, supported by higher operating profits. The debt service coverage ratio stood at 1.00 time in FY2026 as against 0.97 times in FY2025, indicating tightly matched cash accruals vis-à-vis repayment obligations. Further, Debt/EBITDA improved to 4.68 times in FY2026 from 5.00 times in FY2025.

Going ahead, the financial risk profile of the company is expected to remain moderate, supported by stable operating performance and controlled capex plans, though sustained improvement in profitability and cash accruals will be key monitorables for further strengthening of coverage indicators.

Exposure to commodity price volatility and regulatory risks
The company remains exposed to fluctuations in aluminium prices and foreign exchange movements, which can impact margins. Additionally, regulatory risks such as changes in US tariffs remain a key monitorable, given its export exposure.

Rating Sensitivities

Potential triggers (individual or collective) for an upward rating action:
  • Improvement in operating performance with net cash accruals growing above Rs 30-40 Cr
  • Improvement in the debt protection metrics and overall financial risk profile leading to improvement in the liquidity position.
Potential triggers (individual or collective) for a downward rating action:
  • Deterioration in operating performance with net cash accruals falling below ~Rs.15 Crs or decline in profitability margins.
  • Further elongation in working capital cycle or increased reliance on working capital borrowings, leading to weakening of financial risk profile.
Liquidity Position
Adequate

The company’s liquidity is adequate albeit tightly matched, marked by slightly insufficient net cash accruals of Rs.16.48 Cr. in FY2026 as against repayment obligations of Rs.16.60 Cr. during the same period, resulting in marginal dependence on external sources or working capital limits for debt servicing. Going forward, the company is expected to generate sufficient net cash accruals in the range of ~Rs.20-22 Cr. over the near term against repayment obligation in the range of ~Rs.16-17 Cr. during the same period. The reliance on working capital limits stood moderate at 81.19% for the past 06 months ending March 2026. The current ratio stood moderate at 1.17 times, and cash balance stood at Rs.2.36 Cr. as on 31st March 2026.
