Rating Rationale

Acuite has upgraded the long-term rating to ‘ACUITE BBB’ (read as ACUITE triple B )  from ‘ACUITE BBB-’ (read as ACUITE triple B minus) and the short-term rating to ‘ACUITE A3+’ (read as ACUITE A three plus) from ‘ACUITE A3’ (read as ACUITE A three) on the Rs. 225.00 Cr. bank facilities of Shree Riddhi Siddhi Buildwell Limited (SRSBL). The outlook has been revised from ‘Positive' to ‘Stable’

Rationale for Upgrade
The rating upgrade reflects the significant improvement in the company's scale of operations, with operating income increasing to Rs. 354 crore in FY26 as compared to Rs. 150.35 crore in the preceding year, supported by healthy order inflows from central and state government agencies. The company also benefits from a healthy and diversified unexecuted order book of Rs. 840.84 crore as on March 31, 2026, providing strong revenue visibility over the medium term. The rating further considers the improvement in the debt protection metrics. The rating also takes into account the company's healthy profitability, which remained at a comfortable level despite some moderation in operating margins owing to competitive bidding for specialized projects. Further, the company's liquidity position remains adequate, supported by healthy cash accruals, a comfortable current ratio, and sufficient cash balances to meet its debt repayment obligations.
The rating also derives comfort from the promoters' extensive experience in the construction sector, the company's established track record of project execution, and the presence of escalation clauses in most contracts, which provide partial protection against input cost fluctuations.
These strengths are, however, partly offset by intensive nature of the working capital cycle, as reflected in elevated inventory levels and a stretched operating cycle. Total debt increased to Rs. 119.29 crore as on March 31, 2026, to support higher working capital requirements and equipment procurement but the gearing remained at a moderate level of 1.40 times. The rating is further constrained by the company's exposure to execution and funding risks inherent in infrastructure projects.


About the Company

Agra-based, SRSBL was incorporated in 2010 by Dr. Pramod Kumar Jain, Mr. Ankur Jain, and Mr. Anuj Jain as a private limited company. SRSBL originally engaged in the real estate development business had also expanded into the field of civil construction and infrastructure development from FY2017. As of FY25, the company shifted its focus only on Civil and Road Construction contracts from government departments by gradually discontinuing real estate operations.

Key Rating Drivers

Strengths

Experienced management

The promoters, Mr. Ankur Jain and Mr. Anuj Jain have experience of almost two decades in the real estate industry. SRSBL has now transitioned from a real estate developer to an EPC contractor focusing on infrastructure construction projects. Acuité believes that the company will be benefitted over the medium term on the back of experience of management.

Increased scale of operations and healthy profitability margins

The company has registered a 135% increase in their sales with a turnover of Rs. 354.00 Cr. in FY26 as against Rs. 150.35 Cr. in FY25. The increase is attributable to their order book from various government departments. Company is having a healthy mix of Civil and Road work order, all various Central and state Government agencies. The company had a total outstanding order book of Rs. 840.84 crore, providing strong revenue visibility as on March 31, 2026. Of this, approximately Rs. 400 crore to Rs. 410 crore is expected to be executed during FY27. Going forward, the company is expected to witness further increase in its scale of operations, supported by the healthy order book position over the medium term.
 The company's EBITDA margin stood at 15.24% in FY26 as against 18.08% in the previous year. In FY26, the operating margin slightly moderated due to the nature of contracts executed coupled with a shift in the project execution mix towards building construction and hybrid structural works. The PAT margin stood at 5.81% in FY26, compared with 6.19% in FY25.

Moderate Financial Risk Profile

The financial risk profile of the company is moderate marked by tangible net-worth of Rs. 85.01 Cr. as on 31st March 2026 as against Rs. 64.53 Cr. as on 31st March 2025. The improvement is on account of accretion of profits to reserves. Acuite has considered unsecured loans of Rs. 20 Cr. as part of networth since this amount is subordinated to bank debt. The total debt of the company stood at Rs. 119.29 Cr. as on 31st March 2026 against Rs. 80.91 Cr. as on 31st March 2025. The increase in the total debt is because of the increase in unsecured loans which stood at Rs. 32.90 Cr. in FY2026 as against Rs. 17.48 Cr. in FY2025 and term loans contracted for procurement of equipment. The increase in short-term debt is primarily attributable to the higher working capital requirements due to the enhanced turnover levels. Furthermore, the company's working capital limits have been enhanced in FY2027 to support the increased scale of operations. The gearing stood at 1.40 times in FY26 as against 1.25 times in FY25. The interest coverage ratio of the company stood at 3.05 times in FY26 as against 2.65 times in FY25 . The debt service coverage ratio stood at 1.83 times in FY26 as against 1.50 times in FY25. The TOL/TNW stood at 2.88 times in FY26 as against 2.40 times in FY25. Acuité believes that the financial risk profile of the company is expected to be maintained at similar levels over the medium term driven by steady accruals and in the absence of any debt funded capex plans.


Weaknesses

Intensive Working Capital Operations

The working capital operations of the company though improved but remained intensive marked by GCA days which stood at 268 days as on as on 31st March 2026 against 368 days as on 31st March 2025 . The inventory days of the company stood at 220 days as on 31st March 2026 against 246 days as on 31st March 2025. The heavy inventory is on account of WIP of Rs. 160.50 Cr  in FY26. The debtor days of the company stood at 49 days as on 31st March 2026 against 72 days as on 31st March 2026. However, because of the nature of government orders, major billing is done during closing of the financial year thus leading to a skewed debtor collection period. On the other hand, the creditor days of the company stood at 90 days as on 31st March 2026 against 90 days as on 31st March 2025. Acuité believes that the company is likely to remain in the same level with as there are no changes in the managements policy.

Tender-Based Operations
The company operates in a highly competitive, tender-driven EPC industry, where aggressive bidding limits margins and profitability remains exposed to fluctuations in input costs, project execution risks, and delays. Maintaining operational efficiency and cost control is therefore critical to sustaining profitability.

Rating Sensitivities

Potential triggers (individual or collective) for an upward rating action:
  • Revenue growth above Rs. 500 crore with healthy margins.

  • Timely execution of order book .

  • Improvement in leverage and debt protection metrics.

  • Better working capital cycle and lower reliance on short-term debt.

Potential triggers (individual or collective) for a downward rating action:
  • Sharp decline in profitability due to execution issues or pricing pressure.

  • Leverage weakens, with gearing above 1.75x or interest coverage below 2.5x.

  • Working capital cycle stretches, increasing borrowing dependence.

  • Delays, weak order inflows, or order cancellations impact revenue and cash flows.

Liquidity Position
Adequate

The liquidity profile of the company is adequate. The company generated net cash accruals of Rs. 30.49 Cr. as on as on 31st March 2026 as against the debt repayment obligations of Rs. 8.32 Cr. in the same period. With the addition of new orders and high mobilization cost initially involved in new contract, there is increase in borrowing in the form of Working Capital and Equipment Loans. Company is generating sufficient cash profit for repayment of these commitments. The current ratio of the company remained modest at 1.29 times as on 31st March 2026 as against 1.18 times as on 31st March 2025 because of the increase in the payables. The cash and bank balance stood at Rs. 0.33 Cr. as in FY2026 as against Rs 3.13 Cr. in FY2025. The NCA/TD stood at 0.26 times in FY26 as against 0.18 times in FY25. Further, the average bank limit utilization at the month end balance stood high at 91.16% for 7 months ended July 2026. Acuité believes that the liquidity of the company is likely to remain adequate over the medium term on account of steady cash accruals and absence of any major debt funded capex plans.
