Rating Rationale

­Acuité has reaffirmed its long-term rating of 'ACUITE A' (read as ACUITE A) and the short-term rating of 'ACUITE A1’ (read as ACUITE A one) on the Rs. 995 Cr. bank facilities of R K D Construction Private Limited (RKD). The outlook remains 'Positive'.
Further, Acuite has assigned the short term rating of 'ACUITE A1’ (read as ACUITE A one) on the Rs. 50.00 Cr. bank facilities of R K D Construction Private Limited (RKD). 

Rationale for rating
The rating reaffirmation reflects the healthy business risk profile driven by strong project execution, a long operational track record, and growing revenues & profitability. The company has reported a revenue of Rs. 509 Cr. in H1 FY2026 and has an outstanding order book of Rs. 2,571.35 Cr, supporting medium-term revenue visibility. The rating also factors the healthy financial risk profile but is constrained by the moderately working capital operations, high exposure to the road sector, and strong competition in the industry.­
Going forward, continued growth in scale of operations with a healthy financial risk profile and restricted disbursements to group companies remains a key rating monitorable.

Analytical Approach

­­Acuité has taken a standalone view of the business and financial risk profile of RKD Construction Private Limited to arrive at the rating.

 
Key Rating Drivers

Strengths

Long operational track record
RKD Construction Private Limited was founded by Late Rohit Kumar Das in 1996. Presently the company is managed by second generation promoters. Further, the current management has more than two decades of experience in construction business. Over the years, the company has developed expertise in road and highway construction through successful completion of projects in Odisha, Jharkhand, and Bihar.

Growing scale of operations coupled with healthy order book
The revenue of the company grew by ~25% in FY2025 to Rs. 1,011.65 Cr. from Rs. 805.47 Cr. in FY2024. Further, as of H1 FY2026 the company has achieved revenue of ~Rs. 509 Cr. The growth in revenue is supported by a strong order book position of Rs. 2,571.35 Cr as on November 21, 2025, reflecting sound revenue visibility over the medium term. Further, additional work contracts of Rs. 1000 - 1500 Cr are expected to be received in the near term. The operating margin dipped marginally to 13.90 percent in FY2025 from 14.60 percent in FY2024 (FY2023: 13.81 percent), reflecting early-stage project execution, which has improved to 14.89 percent in H1 FY2026 and is expected to remain in a similar range over the medium term. 

Healthy financial risk profile
The company’s financial profile remains healthy, driven by growing net worth, low gearing and comfortable debt protection metrics. Tangible net worth rose to Rs. 524.99 Cr. as of 31 Mar 2025 from Rs. 453.67 Cr. in the previous year. While the total debt increased due to capex funding and higher working capital requirement, gearing remained below unity at 0.53 times on March 31, 2025. The TOL/TNW levels, however moderated to 1.30 times in FY2025 from 0.82 times in FY2024. Debt protection metrics stood moderately comfortable: with interest coverage ratio at 3.74 times and debt service coverage ratio 1.94 times in FY2025.
The company’s financial risk profile is expected to remain healthy over the medium term given no large debt-funded capex plans.


Weaknesses
­Significant exposure in group companies
The company has made significant infusions (through equity and preference share) along with loans & advances towards its group companies and SPVs. These infusions constitute ~50 percent of the tangible networth. Out of the two road SPVs, one of them is currently under construction and shall require infusion of funds from the sponsor. Further, these investments are expected to remain over the medium term as the company plans to undertake new HAM projects.
Therefore, any significant outflow towards the group companies thereby impacting the liquidity of the company shall be a key rating monitorable.


Moderate working capital operations
The company’s working capital remains moderate, with Gross Current Assets of 150 days as on 31 March 2025, up from 100 days a year earlier, largely due to higher other current assets such as retention/security deposits. Inventory levels  increased to 51 days on March 31, 2025 from 32 days, while debtor days stood at 26 days as against 25 days in the previous year.
Going forward, restriction of further elongation will remain a key monitorable.

Tender based nature of operations and competitive industry
The company majorly executes government road construction/widening projects; therefore, the revenue of the company is highly dependent on the number and value of tenders floated by the Government. Moreover, since the nature of operations is tender based, the business depends on the ability to bid for contracts successfully. However, the company has a healthy outstanding order book position on the back of which this risk is reduced upto certain extent.
Rating Sensitivities
­
  • Increasing revenues with order book growth along with maintenance of stable profit margins.
  • Significant increase in debt levels, leading to deterioration of the financial risk profile
  • Significant outflow to group companies in the form of investments or loans thereby impacting its liquidity.
  • Restriction of further elongation in working capital cycle
 
Liquidity Position
Adequate

The liquidity position of the company is adequate, as reflected from its net cash accrual of Rs. 89.22 Cr in FY2025 as against repayment obligations of Rs. 25.00 Cr. during the same period. Further, the company is expected to generate cash accruals in the range of Rs. 100 - 120 Cr. during FY2026 & FY2027 as against repayment obligation of Rs. 25 – 22 Cr. during the same period. The average utilization of working capital limits remained at ~ 92 percent and non-fund-based limit utilisation at ~48 percent for the last six months ended October 2025. The current ratio stood moderate at 1.02 times in FY2025. Further, the cash and bank balance of the company stood at Rs. 3.33 Cr. as on March 31, 2025

Acuite expects the liquidity position of the company to remain adequate over the medium term backed by steady accruals.
