Rating Rationale

Acuite has upgraded the long term rating to 'ACUITE BBB' (read as ACUITE Triple B) from 'ACUITE BBB-' (read as ACUITE triple B minus) on Rs.430.00 Crore bank facilities of Platinum Holdings Private Limited (PHPL). The outlook is "Stable".

Rationale for upgrade:
Acuite, vide its press release 19th March 2026, had reaffirmed the rating of PHPL against which the client had appealed and provided further information and clarification. The rating upgrade factors the the company's strong tenant profile comprising established corporates, ensuring low counterparty risk and stable occupancy, supported by a fully leased property. Its debt-servicing ability is adequate, backed by healthy cash flows and strong liquidity, further strengthened through an escrow-controlled rental mechanism and DSRA maintenance, along with additional banking lines. However, the profile is moderated by high tenant concentration, with a major portion of the area leased to a single occupier, though the long-term extension options partially mitigate this risk. The rating also remains sensitive to timely rent collections, potential cost escalations, and inherent lease renewal risks.

Key Rating Drivers

Strengths

Experienced management and established track record of operations
Platinum Holdings Private Limited (PHPL) was incorporated in the year 2006 as a subsidiary of True Living Spaces Pvt ltd. It was subsequently acquired by Viko Infra Projects LLP (promoted and managed by Mr.Yerram Vikrant Reddy) in April 2023. PHPL owns and operates commercial workspace in Chennai namely ‘Ozone Techno Park’ located along side Chennai IT expressway, Rajiv Gandi Salai (Old Mahabalipuram road). Ozone Techno park is built on approx.7 acres of land with total leasable area of 9,74,428 Sqft occupied by anchor tenants like TCS, HCL Technologies Ltd, and First Source Solutions Ltd. The promoters of the Company have experience in real estate business. Acuite believes that PHPL will continue to benefit from its experienced management and established track record of operations.

Strategic location of the property and healthy cash flows supported by healthy occupancy rate
Ozone Techno Park is located at major IT office destination Rajiv Gandhi Salai, it is in close proximity to SIPCOT IT park with a concentration of large number of enterprises engaged in IT and allied services, conducive eco system with schools, hospitals and retail outlets. The building is equipped with modern amenities and ‘Grade A’ infrastructure meeting the criteria requirement for Blue Chip companies. Major tenants for the company includes TCS, HCL Technologies ltd, First Source Solutions Ltd . The company's occupancy levels remains at 100 percent level. Source of income for the company includes lease rental income, CAM income and Utility income. Company's long term lease agreements with tenants includes built in revenue escalation clause and lock in period thereby providing stability to business risk profile of the company.

Weaknesses

Average Financial Risk Profile:

PHPL’s financial risk profile is assessed as average, supported by a significant improvement in its net worth, which stood at Rs. 76.35 crore as on March 31, 2025, compared to a Rs. (16.84) crore as on March 31, 2024. The improvement is primarily driven by the infusion of quasi-equity amounting to Rs. 94.62 crore in the form of unsecured loans from promoters and related parties, which have been subordinated to the facilities with Canara Bank. The gearing of the company stood modest at 4.50 times as on 31 March, 2025. The Total Outside Liabilities/Tangible Net Worth (TOL/TNW) stood at 5.13 times as on March 31, 2025, as compared to -27.51 times as on March 31, 2024. The debt protection metrices of the company remain satisfactory, marked by Interest coverage ratio (ICR) of 1.29 times and debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) of 1.07 times for FY2025. The net cash accruals to total debt (NCA/TD) stood healthy at 0.03 times in FY2025. Acuite believes the financial risk profile of the company is likely to improve in the near to medium term on account of healthy rental income and no major debt funded capital expenditure.

Customer concentration risk along with occupancy and renewal risk

The firm’s primary revenue source is income from lease rentals, with around 92% of the property currently leased to two tenants i.e TCS & HCL, resulting in high tenant concentration. Consequently, PHPL remains highly dependent on the timely renewal of lease and license agreements with its tenants. Any adverse events such as delays in rental receipts, early exits, or renegotiation by lessees due to weaker-than-expected business performance could disrupt cash flow stability and adversely impact the company’s debt-servicing ability. Additionally, the presence of intense competition from other large real estate players in a competitive market like Chennai may further heighten lease renewal risks.

Assessment of Adequacy of Credit Enhancement under various scenarios including stress scenarios (applicable for ratings factoring specified support considerations with or without the “CE” suffix)

PHPL maintains a Debt Service Reserve Account (DSRA) equivalent to 3 months of interest and instalment repayment obligation along with the ESCROW mechanism.

Stress Case scenario :
Acuite believes that, given the presence of DSRA mechanism, PHPL will be able to service its debt on time, even in a stress scenario.

Rating Sensitivities

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

Sustainability in the financial risk profile with avg DSCR more than 2 times and maintaining adequate liquidity
Timely collection of rental and timely renewal of agreements

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

Weaking financial risk profile if avg DSCR falls below 1
Any significant loss of rental income

Liquidity Position

Adequate

PHPL has adequate liquidity marked by adequate net cash accruals of Rs. 8.64 Cr. as on March 31, 2025 as against Rs. 5.85 Cr. long term debt obligations over the same period. Also, the DSCR for the tenure of the loan is expected to be more than sufficient to repay the debt obligations. The debt repayment is being serviced via rentals received from property. The rental inflows are managed through ESCROW mechanism along with DSRA maintenance of 3 months of interest and instalment repayment obligations. As of now, the Company has created around Rs.10.20 crore DSRA with Canara Bank. Average DSCR stood at 1.14 times for FY 26 to FY 31. The cash and bank balance stood at Rs.12.27 Cr. for FY2025. Further they have got a sanction of secured OD of Rs.30 crore which provides additional liquidity. Acuité believes that the liquidity of the Company is likely to remain adequate over the medium term on account of comfortable cash accruals against long debt repayments over the medium term.

Outlook: Stable
