Rating Rationale

­Acuité has reaffirmed its long-term rating of 'ACUITE BBB' (read as ACUITE triple B) on the Rs.144.66 Cr. bank facilities and its short-term rating of 'ACUITE A3+' (read as ACUITE A Three plus) on the Rs.1.25 Cr. bank facilities of Meera Cotton and Synthetic Mills Private Limited (MCSMPL). The outlook is ‘Stable’.

Rationale for rating reaffirmation
The rating reaffirmation reflects the steady increase in the company's scale of operations, supported by volume growth and increasing contribution from the garment division. The recently completed expansion in the garment segment is expected to support the company's business profile over the medium term. Further, the rating derives strength from the company's established track record of operations in the textile industry, experienced management, comfortable financial risk profile and adequate liquidity position.

However, the rating remains constrained by the working capital-intensive nature of operations, intense competition in the fragmented textile industry and susceptibility of operations to fluctuations in raw material prices.

Going ahead, the company's ability to scale up revenues from the expanded garment division while improving working capital management and financial risk profile will remain a key monitorable.

Key Rating Drivers

Strengths

Established presence in the textile industry with diversified product portfolio
MCSMPL benefits from an established operating track record of more than three decades in the textile industry and is engaged across multiple segments including yarn, knitted fabrics, and garments. The integrated nature of operations enables the company to cater to a diverse customer base while providing flexibility across the textile value chain. The business is further supported by the experience of its promoters and management team.

Improving scale of operations and stable profitability
MCSMPL's business profile is supported by its improving scale of operations and stable profitability. The company's operating income increased marginally to Rs.420.37 crore in FY2026 (Prov.) from Rs.404.15 crore in FY2025, driven by volume growth across its yarn and fabric segments along with increasing contribution from the garment division. The company continued to operate at high capacity utilisation levels, with utilisation of 96.55% in Texturized Yarn, 86.67% in Twisted Yarn and 98.82% in Knitted Fabrics during FY2026. Further, the garment manufacturing capacity was expanded from 25.73 lakh pieces per annum to 30 lakh pieces per annum during FY2026. The operating margin remained stable at 8.74% in FY2026 (Prov.) as against 8.52% in FY2025, supported by better absorption of fixed costs, operational efficiencies and increasing contribution from relatively higher-margin products such as garments and knitted fabrics. The garment segment contributed around 11-12% of total revenue in FY2026.

Acuité believes the company's scale of operations will continue to improve over the medium term, supported by the ramp-up of the garment division, healthy capacity utilisation and increasing contribution from value-added products, which are expected to support revenue growth and profitability.

Comfortable financial risk profile
The financial risk profile of the company remained moderate marked by improving net worth, comfortable capital structure and debt protection metrics. The tangible net worth improved to Rs.123.37 Cr. as on 31st March 2026 (Prov.) against Rs.106.04 Cr. as on 31st March 2025. The improvement in the net worth is attributable to accretion of profits into reserves.


The gearing level improved and stood at 0.79 times as on March 31, 2026 (Prov.) as against 0.93 times as on March 31, 2025. The debt protection metrics also improved, with interest coverage ratio increasing to 4.84 times in FY2026 (Prov.) from 4.40 times in FY2025 and debt service coverage ratio to 1.77 times in FY2026 (Prov.) against 1.50 times in FY2025. Debt/EBITDA stood at 2.44 times from 2.59 times during the same period.

Acuité believes that the financial risk profile of the company is expected to improve over the medium term, supported by healthy accruals leading to increase in the net worth levels, gradual deleveraging and limited dependence on external debt for future growth initiatives.


Weaknesses

Working capital intensive operations and presence of long outstanding receivables
The company's operations remain working capital intensive, owing to relatively high receivable and inventory holding requirements inherent in the textile industry. The gross current asset days stood 123 days in FY2026 (Prov.) from 125 days in FY2025, debtor days increased to 79 days from 73 days during the same period. Further, receivables outstanding for more than 120 days stood at Rs.18.83 crore, accounting for approximately 23% of total debtors as on June 2026. The company also has disputed receivables aggregating around Rs.6.44 crore, pertaining to two customers, which are under insolvency proceedings. Further, the average utilisation of the working capital limits remained moderate at ~74.52% for the six months ending July 2026.

Acuité believes the working capital cycle is likely to remain moderately intensive over the medium term on account of industry credit practices. The company's ability to manage receivables efficiently and maintain adequate liquidity will remain a key rating monitorable.

Exposure to intense competition and raw material price volatility
The textile industry remains highly fragmented and competitive, exposing the company to pricing pressures and limiting its bargaining power. Further, MCSMPL remains susceptible to fluctuations in prices of key raw materials. Any significant increase in input costs or inability to pass on such costs to customers in a timely manner may impact the company's operating margins and profitability.

Acuité believes the company's credit profile will remain sensitive to changes in industry demand, competitive intensity and volatility in raw material prices. Its ability to maintain profitability through operational efficiencies, product diversification and timely pass-through of cost increases will remain crucial.

Rating Sensitivities

Potential triggers (individual or collective) for an upward rating action:
  • Increase in operating performance with revenues reaching above ~Rs.650 Crs along with improvement in the profitability margins.
  • Sustaining improvement in the financial risk profile.
Potential triggers (individual or collective) for a downward rating action:
  • Deterioration in operating performance with revenues falling below ~Rs.350 Crs or decline in profitability margins.
  • Elongation in working capital cycle or increased reliance on working capital borrowings.
Liquidity Position
Adequate
MCSMPL’s liquidity position is adequate, marked by net cash accruals of Rs.25.85 Cr. in FY2026 (Prov.) against repayment obligation of Rs.10.97 Cr. during the same period. Going forward, the cash accruals are expected to be in the range of ~Rs.29-33 Cr. in FY27 & FY28 against repayment obligation of ~Rs.11 Cr. and ~Rs.10 Cr. during the same period. The reliance on bank limits stood moderate at ~74.52% for the fund based limits for the last 06 months ending July 2026. The current ratio stood moderate at 1.53 times as on March 31, 2026 (Prov.). The unencumbered cash and bank balances stood at Rs.0.19 Cr. as on 31st March 2026 (Prov.).
