Rating Rationale

­Acuite has reaffirmed the long term rating of 'ACUITE A-' (read as ACUITE A minus) on Rs. 150.00 crore bank loan facilities of Rajasthan Global Securities Private Limited (RGSPL). The outlook is 'Stable'.

Rationale for rating

The rating action considers the established presence of the company for the last 30 years, along with the extensive three decades of experience of its promoter, Mr. Lalit Dua, in the capital markets. The rating factors in the healthy and low leveraged capital structure of the company supported by a networth of Rs. 2,565.76 Cr. as on March 31, 2026 (Provisional) as compared to Rs. 2,373.03 Cr. as on March 31, 2025. The company reported a PAT of Rs. 192.73 Cr. during FY2026 (provisional) as compared to Rs. 383.47 Cr. during FY2025. Further, the rating takes into consideration the lending segment of the company which is strengthened by sound asset quality metrics. The loan book stood at Rs. 245.97 Cr. as on March 31, 2026 (provisionals) which is hundred percent secured. The RGSPL’s on-time portfolio as on March 31, 2026 stood at 100 percent with NIL Non-performing assets.
The rating is however constrained by limited portfolio seasoning and geographical concentration of its loan portfolio along with susceptibility of its earnings profile to the level of volatility or any adverse movements in the capital markets.

Key Rating Drivers

Strength
­Established track record of operations and extensive experience of the promoters
Incorporated in 1995, Rajasthan Global Securities Private Limited (RGSPL) is a Non-Deposit taking Systemically Important Non-Banking Finance Company (ND-SI-NBFC). RGSPL is engaged in the business of making investments, trading, special situations and various types of arbitrages for the last 30 years. It has also taken anchor allotment as a QIB in several IPOs consistently of both mainboard and SMEs. The company also generates interest income though its lending segment. RGSPL has a joint lending partnership with CSL Finance Limited where it lends to various developers in the Delhi-NCR area.
The company is promoted by Mr. Lalit Dua, first generation entrepreneur who has over three decades of experience in the capital markets. The company is managed by a qualified and well experienced senior management team along with Mr. Dua. The extensive experience of the promoters and management in special situations, making long-term and short-term investments in capital markets and last mile lending to affordable housing real-estate developers based out of Delhi-NCR, has helped in building a strong networth of Rs. 2,565.76 Cr. (provisional) with zero net debt as on March 31, 2026 and initial minimal equity, which is 100 percent owned by the promoters and total assets of Rs. 2,675.21 Cr. as on March 31, 2026 (provisional).
Acuité believes that the company’s business profile will continue to benefit from the established presence in the capital markets, backed by strong managerial support.

Healthy capital structure and strong resource raising ability
The capital structure of the company is supported by a strong networth of Rs. 2,565.76 Cr. as on March 31, 2026 (provisional) and zero debt. The company has established relations with six lenders including reputed private sector NBFCs. The company avails loan against securities, to invest in short-term capital market opportunities. RGSPL’s capitalisation levels remain healthy reflected by overall Capital Adequacy Ratio of 114.93 percent as on March 31, 2026 (provisional) (119.92 percent as on March 31, 2025), mainly by way of Tier I capital of 114.82 percent (119.75 percent as on March 31, 2025). The company has declared significant growth in Total Assets and Networth, while maintaining a net debt zero position.
Acuité believes that the company’s comfortable capitalization levels and strong resource raising ability will support its growth plans over the medium term.

Sound asset quality
The company has a joint lending arrangement with CSL Finance where the company jointly lends to various real estate developers in Delhi-NCR area, which not only has the security cover of cashflows but also title deeds, corporate guarantees, shares, and securities of promoters. The loan portfolio of the company stood at Rs. 245.97 Cr. as on March 31, 2026 (provisional) as against Rs. 295.16 crore as on March 31, 2023. The average ticket size of the loans are ~Rs. 19 Cr. extended for a tenor of 6-36 months. RGSPL’s asset quality remains sound with an on-time portfolio of 100 percent and NIL Non-performing assets as on March 31, 2026. The company has never recorded any NPA’s on its lending portfolio. The company intends to expand its loan book by diversifying into products such as Loan Against Shares, Supply chain financing and factoring.
Acuité believes that RGSPL’s ability to scale up its operations and while maintain healthy asset quality given the prospective product diversification will remain a key monitorable.

Weakness
­High concentration of loan book; susceptible to asset quality moderation
The loan book of the company as on March 31, 2026 (provisional) stood at Rs.245.97 Cr. which comprises of secured loans extended to real-estate developers. Further, the top five borrower comprise of ~74 percent of the loan book and the entire real estate book of the company is concentrated with 16 borrowers as of March 31, 2026. The company also faces geographical concentration risk as all the borrowers of the company are concentrated in the Delhi-NCR. Occurrence of events such as slowdown in economic activity any major natural calamity in the union territory, could impact the cash flows of the borrowers thereby impacting credit profile of RGSPL's borrowers leading to adverse impact the asset quality of the company. To mitigate the risk, the loans are disbursed on the basis of the project and not the builder, and the company has first and exclusive charge over the project they have financed.
However, Acuite believes that the company’s asset quality is susceptible to the concentration of its loan book.

Susceptibility of financial performance to the capital markets
RGSPL’s primary source of income is through various transactions entered in, by the company in the capital markets. The company generated profit after tax of Rs. 192.73 Cr. for FY2026 (provisional) as against Rs. 383.47 Cr. and Rs. 688.97 Cr. for FY25 and FY24 respectively. The company's operating performance is directly linked to the capital markets, which are inherently volatile as they are driven by economic and political factors as well as investor sentiments. Any adverse market movement (downturn) would result in decline in the company’s earning profile. Due to vintage of the promoter, the company has remained profitable through the years as they are adequately and reasonably hedged.
However, Acuité believes that the level of activity in the capital markets will continue to be a key determinant of its revenue profile and future growth trajectory.

Rating Sensitivity

Potential triggers (individual or collective) for an upward rating action:
  • Sustained improvement in the earnings profile
  • Significant growth in business volumes and investment portfolio
Potential triggers (individual or collective) for a downward rating action:
  • Continuous deterioration in profitability metrics as denoted by ROAA remaining below than 3 percent
  • High leverage and low liquidity buffers
Liquidity Position
Adequate
­Business growth of RGSPL has been supported by the group’s internal accruals and the company’s dependence on debt is very low as reflected by being debt-free as on March 31, 2026. Hence, the company has no significant term debt obligations over the near term. The company's ALM has no cumulative negative mismatches in the near to medium term as on March 31, 2026. The company currently has Cash and cash equivalents of Rs. 440.56 Cr. as on March 31, 2026 (provisional) and total sanctioned limits of ~Rs. 525 Cr.
Acuité believes the liquidity position of the company will remain adequate in the near to medium term.
