Rating Rationale |
|
Acuite' has converted and assigned its long term rating of ' ACUITE C' (read as ACUITE C) from 'Provisional ACUITE C' (read as Provisional Acuite C) on the Rs.325.00 Cr. Non Convertible Debentures of Prateek Realtors India Private Limited.
The final conversion reflects satisfactory completion of the documentation as required by Acuite` with the receipt of following final documents from the company: 1. Final Term sheet. 2. Draft debenture trust deed. 3. Legal opinion- not applicable. Rationale for rating assigned The rating assigned takes into account the established track record of the group and promoters in the real estate development industry for more than ten years. The group has established to develop affordable group housing project Grand City having 40 acres’ land area located at Siddhartha Vihar, Ghaziabad. However, the rating is constrained by geographical concentration in the revenue profile, past delays in completion of the project and susceptibility of cyclicality in completion of real estate projects. Further, the company had also defaulted in its payment of NCD. Going forward, Acuite' expects the financial risk profile and liquidity of the company to improve with refinancing through the issue of NCD of Rs.325 Crore. |

| Key Rating Drivers |
| Strengths |
| Experienced Promoters with established track record of operations
Prateek group was incorporated in 2005. The promoter of the company Mr. Prashant Tiwari has experience of more than a decade in this line of business. The group has substantial presence in Noida and Ghaziabad and has delivered 7.9 mnsft (6 projects) in Delhi NCR such as The Royal cliff, Prateek Fedora, Prateek laurel, Prateek wisteria and Prateek Edfice, and Prateek Stylome. The company is developing affordable Group Housing Project Grand City having 40 acres’ land area and ~8.3 mn saleable area (Phase 1: 3.1 mn square feet, Phase 2: 2.0 mn square feet, Phase 3: 3.1 mn square feet), located at Siddhartha Vihar, Ghaziabad. The cost of construction for Phase 1 and Phase 2 is Rs.1291 crore. |
| Weaknesses |
| High Dependence on refinancing for sustainability of operations
PRIPL has liquidity issues due to delay in project construction. There have been delay in repayments of existing NCD's issued by Asia Real Estate II India Opportunity Trust.In order to re finance its loan obligation, group is planning to issue NCDs to clear the dues and complete the project. However, successful refinance is dependent upon the compliance of various precedent conditions laid down in the term sheet. Timely refinance of the debt would be the key rating sensitivity. Susceptibility to Real Estate Cyclicality, Geographical concentration 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. Most of SIPL’s past and ongoing projects are located in Delhi NCR - This increases PRIPL’s susceptibility to geographical concentration risk. The real estate industry is cyclical in nature of business and subject to price and interest rate risk, among others. Further, the industry is also exposed to regulatory risk, which can impact project execution. |
| Rating Sensitivities |
| Timely refinancing by issuance of NCD. |
| Liquidity Position |
| Poor |
|
The liquidity position is poor due to cashflows of the company being inadequate to service the repayment obligation. Hence, PRIPL has defaulted in its repayment of NCD. However, with the debt refinancing and issuance of proposed NCDs, liquidity of PRIPL may improve in near to medium term. PRIPL is mainly dependent on collection of receivables from sold units, NCD proceeds and sale proceeds from unsold units for project funding and NCDs repayment obligation. Timely collection of these receivables from old units will be key monitor able for the assessment of liquidity position of PRIPL.

| Note on complexity levels of the rated instrument |
|
In order to inform the investors about complexity of instruments, Acuité has categorized such instruments in three levels: Simple, Complex and Highly Complex. Acuite’ s categorisation of the instruments across the three categories is based on factors like variability of the returns to the investors, uncertainty in cash flow patterns, number of counterparties and general understanding of the instrument by the market. It has to be understood that complexity is different from credit risk and even an instrument categorized as 'Simple' can carry high levels of risk.
