Rating Rationale |
|
Acuite has assigned the long term rating of 'ACUITE A-' (read as ACUITE A minus) on the Rs. 507 Cr. bank facilities of RDB Primarc Techno Park LLP. The outlook is 'Stable'.
Rationale for rating The rating derives strength from experienced management in real estate businesses, locational advantage, reputed lessee profile, and adequate liquidity through presence of DSRA and escrow mechanism. However, it is constrained by risk of non-renewals of the lease rental agreements and customer concentration risk. |

| Analytical Approach |
| Acuite has taken the standalone business and financial risk profile of RDB Primarc Techno Park LLP to arrive at the rating. |
| Key Rating Drivers |
| Strengths |
| Locational Advantage and reputed lessee profile
The property (14.69 lakh sq ft) is situated at one of the prime commercial business district (CBD) in Kolkata, West Bengal. It has close proximity to metro station and airports ensuring easy access and convenience. Some of the marquee MNCs include IBM India private limited, Concentrix Daksh Services India Private Limited, Lexmark International private limited are tenants in the property and renewals of the lease rental agreements have also been effected with them. A wide range of F&B options are also available within the premise. The property is managed by CBRE. Acuite believes that going forward the prime location of the property along with reputed lessee profile will benefit the firm going forward. Presence of Escrow mechanism and DSRA with bank The firm has availed an Lease Rental Discounting (LRD) term loan. The lease rentals are directly deposited into escrow account and the debt obligation is deducted from the same. The repayment of the same has started from November 2024. In addition to this, the firm has already created 1 month EMI as DSRA amounting to Rs. 4.62 Cr. and it needs to add 1 more month EMI as DSRA to be created within 12 months , i.e. November 25. Acuite believes that the presence of escrow account and DSRA provides comfort on the cash flow management of the firm. |
| Weaknesses |
| Customer Concentration Risk
Since IBM India Private Limited (incl. its group entity- Concentrix Daksh services India private limited) holds almost 60% of the total property area and 45% as a share of revenue, leading to customer concentration risk. Acuité believes that any change in the business plan of the lessess along with their non-renewal or early exit might impact the revenues and margins of the firm. This risk is partially mitigated by the fact that the lessee has renewed their contract and tenancy in the property in the past. |
