Key Rating Drivers

Strengths
­Established track record of operation
MVV group (MVVG) is a Vishakhapatnam based residential developer promoted by Mr. M.V.V. Satyanarayana and Ms. M.N. Jyothi. MVV group started its journey as proprietary concern in 1990s and has more than three decades experience and track record in construction of residential projects in Vizag. MVV group is one of the top three player in Vizag city; group has sold over 1.07 Cr. Sq.fts of saleable area spread over 81 projects in AP and TS. Promotors of the group has extensive experience in real estate industry in Vizag city for almost three decades, which has enabled them in maintain strong relation with its suppliers and good brand image among its customers.

Weaknesses
­Instance of delay in servicing of debt obligation
Instance of delay in servicing of term loan obligation by the company in recent past as observed in its loan account statement and as confirmed by the banker.

Project risk and execution risk
The ongoing project 'The Grand' has the total saleable area of 33,15,525 Sq fts, out of total saleable area firm's share is 30,73,767 Sq fts with the total project cost of Rs.976.56 Cr. The total project cost is to be funded through promotor's contribution of Rs.63.95 Cr., bank loan of Rs.200 Cr. and balance through collections from customer advances. The promoters are high net worth individuals and group companies being debt averse further mitigate the funding risk. The firm has incurred Rs.236.38 Cr. till February 2025 against which it has already received booking of 564 units and received the customer advances of Rs.172.43 Cr. as on February 2025.

The construction of the project started on October 2022. The project is expected to get completed by October 2028. While there are inherent project risks as being in nascent stage of construction, the risk is mitigated to some extent as the group has established track record of completion of projects in timely manner. However, any delay in completion of the project may led to cost and time overruns which will remain a key rating sensitivity going ahead.
Acuité believes that timely infusion of funds from promotors, timely funding of bank loan and receipt of customer advances will be a key monitorable.

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. The risks associated with real estate industry are cyclical in nature and directly linked to drop 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's 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.
