Rating Rationale |
|
Acuite has assigned its long-term rating of 'ACUITE A-' (read as ACUITE A minus) and short-term rating of 'ACUITE A1 (read as ACUITE A One) on the Rs. 250 Cr. of bank loan facilities of Raavi Green Fuels Private Limited (RGFPL). The Outlook is 'Stable'.
Rationale for Rating The rating assigned reflects the successful commissioning of the 150 KLPD (killo litres per day) grain-based distillery in Bundi district of Rajasthan for production of ethanol using maize as feedstock from 1st May 2025. The rating drives additional comfort with long term off take agreement with Oil Marketing Companies (i.e. Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited, Indian Oil Corporation Limited and Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited) valid till March 2034. The company has already achieved the net revenue of Rs. 115 cr. till 28th December 2025. Further, all the project receivables will route through escrow account where all the outflows will be based on waterfall mechanism. However, the above strenghts are partially off set profitability being susceptible to volatility of raw material prices. |

| Analytical Approach |
|
Acuite has considered standalone business & financial risk profile of Raavi Green Fuels Private Limited (RGFPL). Further, Acuite has also factored the benefits derived from Jakson Limited as shortfall undertaking has been extended towards the lenders by them.
|
| Key Rating Drivers |
| Strengths |
| Experienced Management
The company is led by Mr. Ravi Goyal, Managing Director, who brings decades of experience across financial consultancy, equity trading, real estate, and other ventures. Key promoters from Jakson Limited, holding a 20% stake, offer expertise in renewable energy, diesel engine manufacturing, and solar EPC government contracts. Acuité believes the promoters' vast experience will benefit the company in the near to medium term. Long Term Off take Agreement The agreement ensures the minimum annual off take quantity of 3.168 cr. litres that mitigates the demand risk to some extent. The government target of achieving E20 petrol (20% blended in petrol) ensures the stable demand in medium term. Acuite believes ready demand for ethanol will support the business risk profile going forward. |
| Weaknesses |
| Profitability being susceptible to volatility of raw material prices amidst inherent agro-climatic risks
With raw material prices accounting for majority of the overall cost and limited pricing control over ethanol sales, the company's profitability is vulnerable to volatility in raw material prices. The key raw material (maize), being agricultural commodity with seasonal availability and pricing of which is affected by factors such as changes in weather conditions including low or high rainfall, production levels, etc. |
| Rating Sensitivities |
|
| Liquidity Position |
| Adequate |
|
The liquidity profile of the company is adequate marked by healthy expected cash inflows routed directly into escrow account with waterfall mechanism and presence of DSRA of one quarter resulted into additional cushion. The average projected DSCR from FY 26 to FY 32 is 1.22 times. Acuite believes that the company will be able to pay debt obligations timely from their cash flows as the project already got commenced and entire capacity is tied up with long term offtake agreement.
