Rating Rationale

­Acuite has downgraded its long term rating to 'ACUITE C' (read as ACUITE C) from 'ACUITE BBB-' (read as ACUITE triple B minus) on the Rs.15.00 crore bank facilities of Om Shri Shubh Labh Agrifresh Private Limited.

Rationale for downgrade
Acuité has considered the consolidated approach for Om Shri Shubh Labh Agrifresh Private Limited. As per the reporting in the Credit Bureau Information Report, multiple accounts of the group entities are found delinquent with delays being captured in debt obligation servicing, hence there is a high likelihood of stretched liquidity. On the basis of the available information, rating is being downgraded. Further, the rating takes into account the National company law tribunal (NCLT) Order dated 5th May, 2025 in the matter of BPC Technologies India Private Limited and Om Shri Shubh Labh Agritech Private Limited (group entity) wherein Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) has been initiated against Om Shri Shubh Labh Agritech Private Limited (Corporate Debtor) along with appointment of Interim Resolution Professional (IRP). Moreover, the order declares moratorium for having defaulted payment of its outstanding dues Rs.148.98 Cr. including interest of the operational creditor.

Key Rating Drivers

Strengths
Long track record of operations with experienced management
OSSLG is based out of Madhya Pradesh and the group is promoted by Mr. Girraj Bansal who has been engaged in the FMCG industry for more than a decade. The extensive experience of the promoters has helped the group to establish long and healthy relationships with reputed customers and suppliers over the years. Acuité believes that the promoter's experience is expected to support the business risk profile of the group over the medium term.

Weaknesses
Delays in debt obligation servicing
As per the reporting in Credit Bureau 
Information Report, multiple accounts are found delinquent with delays being captured in debt obligation servicing by the group entities.­

Highly fragmented and competitive industry
The industry is marked by presence of large number of organized and unorganized players in the industry. The industry is intensely competitive and fragmented because of low entry barriers and moderate capital requirements. The high competitive industry further limits the pricing flexibility and exerts pressures on the margins of all participants.
Rating Sensitivities
  • ­Timely servicing of debt obligations.
 
Liquidity Position
Poor
The liquidity profile of the group is poor on an account of multiple accounts being found delinquent with delays being captured in debt obligation servicing by the group entities, as per the reporting in Credit Bureau Information Report.
