Rating Rationale

­Acuite has assigned long term rating of 'ACUITE BBB+' (read as ACUITE Triple B Plus) and short-term rating of 'ACUITE A2' (read as ACUITE A two) on Rs.332 crore of bank facilities of Shree Girrajjee Infra Heights Private Limited. The outlook is 'Stable'.

Rationale for Rating:

The rating is driven by the company’s established market presence, experienced promoter, and healthy scale of operations, which is expected to further improve over the medium term, supported by a strong unexecuted order book of Rs.3,644 crore (6.75 times of FY26 revenue), providing adequate revenue visibility. The company’s recent expansion into diversified development projects such as water and sewage treatment and township infrastructure, along with geographic diversification across states, indicates improving business prospects and a reduction in regional concentration risk. Improvement in operating margins has been observed in FY26 (prov), with margins expected to remain in the range of 14–15% over the medium term. The financial risk profile remains stable, supported by moderate net worth, stable gearing, and average coverage indicators. Liquidity remained adequate against long-term repayment obligations. However, working capital management is intensive due to an elongated debtor cycle and high other current assets including retention money receivable and loans and advances, expected to improve over medium term. Timely execution of orders, securing of new projects, and sustainability of profitability amid geographical expansion remain key monitorable.

Key Rating Drivers

Strengths

­Experienced Management:
The promoters of the Company are Mr. Lokesh Singh, Mr. Virendra Singh, and Mr. Vivek Singh. The company operates as a family-run business. The promoters collectively possess over a decade of experience in the civil construction industry. Mr. Lokesh Singh is the key working promoter and is actively involved in strategic decision-making, project execution, and business development activities. Acuité believes that SGIHPL will continue to benefit from the extensive experience and active involvement of its promoters and management.


Healthy Scale of operation and diversified order book:
The scale of operations of SGIHPL increased marginally to Rs.540.93 crore in FY26 (provisional) as compared to Rs.521.13 crore in FY25 and Rs.463.38 crore in FY 24, supported by timely execution of existing orders. SGIHPL has an unexecuted order book of around Rs.3,644 crore as of now, translating into a healthy order book to operating income (OB/OI) ratio of 6.75 times, indicating strong revenue visibility over the medium term.Further, Up to FY25, Jammu & Kashmir and Mizoram were the major revenue contributor for SGIHPL; however, in the last financial year, execution in the region declined due to political tensions. Consequently, the share of Jammu & Kashmir in the current order book has reduced to around 14%. To manage this risk, the company has diversified its operations in recent years by expanding into multiple states like Arunachal Pradesh, , Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and Andhra Pradesh, Karnatak etc, thereby reducing its dependence on any single region. The operating margin improved to 17.13% in FY26 (Prov.) compared to 15.90% in FY25 and 13.70% in FY24. The improvement was mainly driven by a reduction in power and machinery-hire costs. Despite the improvement in operating margin, the PAT margin remained stable at 7.56% in FY26 (Prov.). This was mainly due to higher finance costs. Acuite believes scale of operation is expected to improve supported by healthy unexecuted order book however, timely execution and sustainability in profitability after state wise diversification will remain key monitorable.


Moderate Financial Risk Profile:
The company’s financial risk profile remains moderate, supported by moderate net worth, improved gearing, and average debt protection metrics. Its tangible net worth increased significantly to Rs. 166.92 crore in FY26 (Prov.) from Rs. 114.99 crore in FY25 .driven by higher internal accruals and equity infusion. Total borrowings increased to Rs. 193.86 crore in FY26 (Prov.) from Rs. 158.40 crore in FY25, mainly due to higher utilization of short-term limits and long-term borrowing for equipment purchase, including addition of machinery and equipment worth Rs. 31 crore during the year. Despite the rise in debt, total gearing improved to 1.16 times in FY26 (Prov.) from 1.38 times in FY25. Debt protection indicators remained comfortable, with ICR and DSCR at 3.43 times and 1.55 times, respectively, in FY26 (Prov.), compared to 4.50 times and 1.70 times in FY25. TOL/TNW and Debt/EBITDA stood at 2.46 times and 2.06 times, respectively, in FY26 (Prov.), against 2.27 times and 1.86 times in FY25, with the increase in TOL/TNW mainly on account of high mobilization advances. Acuité believes the company’s financial risk profile is expected to improve further, supported by the absence of any debt-funded capex plans.

 


Weaknesses

Moderate Customer Concentration:
The company’s client base comprises reputed government agencies such as the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), National Highways & Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL), and the Airports Authority of India (AAI), along with established private sector entities possessing strong credit profiles, including JSP Projects Pvt. Ltd., C.S. Construction Co. Pvt. Ltd., and COMT Construction Co. Pvt. Ltd etc. Though more than 50% of revenue has been concentrated in C S Constructions Co Pvt Ltd, it has mitigated to established relationships with them, and also they have a current order book of Rs. 1343 crore pertaining to C S Constructions in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Arunachal Pradesh indicates a continuous flow of orders from them on a subcontracting basis.

Intensive Working Capital Management:

Working capital operations remained intensive, as reflected in the elongation of gross current days to 263 days in FY26 (Prov.), compared with 175 days in FY25 , mainly due to higher debtor days and an increase in other current assets. Debtor days increased to 129 days in FY26 (Prov.) from 73 days in FY25 , primarily due to high year-end revenue booking. Around 65% of total revenue was booked in Q4FY26, of which 32% was booked in March 2026, resulting in a sharp spike in debtor days as on year-end.Inventory days stood at 91 days in FY26 (Prov.), compared with 92 days in FY25 . The company’s average inventory holding period generally remains in the range of 45–60 days. Other current assets increased significantly to Rs. 87.35 crore in FY26 (Prov.) from Rs. 34.45 crore in FY25, mainly due to a rise in loans and advances to their customers in the form of deposit from which they have taken the orders on subcontractor basis and retention money. Creditor days increased to 355 days in FY26 (Prov.) from 164 days in FY25. The elevated creditor period is largely linked to the stretched collection cycle, with the company retaining payments due to subcontractors, which is reflected under sundry creditors. Acuité believes that the company’s working capital cycle is expected to moderate to around 200–225 days in the medium term, supported by an improvement in debtor days.

Tender-based Operations:
The company operates in a tender-driven industry that is largely unorganized and highly competitive, wherein revenue generation is significantly dependent on its ability to successfully bid for and secure contracts. Given the competitive intensity and price sensitivity inherent in tender-based operations, timely execution, cost efficiency, technical qualifications, and competitive pricing play a critical role in winning tenders and sustaining revenue growth. Consequently, the firm’s financial performance remains closely linked to its success rate in tender awards and its ability to consistently replenish its order book.

Rating Sensitivities

Potential triggers (individual or collective) for an upward rating action:
­Improvement in scale of operation and profitability
Reduction in working capital cycle with GCA days falling below 160 days
Potential triggers (individual or collective) for a downward rating action:
Any execution delay which led to decline in scale of operations below Rs.450 crores or decline in  profitability
Significant increase in debt levels leading to deterioration in financial risk profile
Significant elongation in working capital management
­
Liquidity Position
Adequate

Liquidity of SGIHPL remained adequate, supported by net cash accruals of Rs. 53.09 crore against long-term debt repayment of Rs. 24.51 crores in FY26 (Prov.).The company’s net cash accruals (NCA) are expected to remain in the range of Rs. 70–80 crore against long-term debt repayments of Rs. 33–35 crore over the medium term.The current ratio stood at 1.06 times in FY26 (Prov.), as against 1.10 times in FY25. Cash and bank balances improved significantly to Rs. 11.09 crores in FY26 (Prov.) from Rs. 2.00 crore in FY25. Fund-based and non fund bases utilisation remained moderate at 68% and 58% respectively for the six months ended April 2026. Acuité believes that the company’s liquidity position is expected to remain adequate in the medium term, supported by steady accruals and the absence of any debt-funded capex plan.
