Rating Rationale
Acuité has assigned its long term rating of ‘ACUITÉ B+’ (read as ACUITE B plus) on the Rs. 27.00 Cr. bank facilities of Sri Sai Suvidha Developers (SSSD). The outlook is ‘Stable’.

Rating Rationale:
The rating assigned reflects the strategic location advantage of the ongoing project with multiple connectivity options to airport, railway station, markets etc. Also, the project has already been registered with state RERA. However, the rating is constrained by the limited experience of the promoters in the housing construction sector. Additionally, the project is at the nascent stage of construction with approx. 40% of the funding of the project is to be sourced from advance from sale of apartments, the cash inflow from the same will remain uncertain basis of market dynamics.

Key Rating Drivers

Strengths
Location Advantage
The Company is constructing two towers of residential building (Block A & Block B) in Saroor Nagar, Ranga Reddy, Telangana. The construction is expected to be completed by Q3 of FY 2025. The residential complex will host a number of recreational facilities. The location of the project is strategic, wherein, the  airport, railway station, markets etc. are well connected. Also, the project has already been registered with state RERA.
Weaknesses
Project Execution Risk and Inexperienced Field
The partners of the firm are from various industries / fields such as poultry, warehousing, commercial construction etc. However, they not have significant experience in the field of housing construction. The construction of the project is currently at nascent stage wherein the cost incurred is Rs 20.50 Cr only out of total cost of Rs 107.22 Cr. The Rs 20.50 cost incurred is through term loan from bank of Rs 7.57 Cr, equity of Rs 5.14 Cr and promoters contribution of Rs 7.71 Cr.   Further, the firm has high dependence on sales traction with 40% of the project is expected to be funded through advances from customers. to be received from sale of apartments. Although, as on December 31, 2022, the firm has sold one flat Thus, over-reliance on Advance from Customers to fund the project may cause the completion to be delayed in the unfavourable event that the firm is unable to achieve the sales targets.
Execution of project on timely manner without any cost overruns is a key rating sensitivity.

Susceptibility to Real Estate Cyclicality and Regulatory Risks
The real estate industry in India is highly fragmented with most of the real estate developer having a city-specific or region-specific presence. The real estate industry is cyclical in nature of business and subject to price and interest rate risk, among others. Further, the industry is also exposed to regulatory risk, which can impact project execution.
Rating Sensitivities
  • Timely completion of project without any cost overruns
  • Susceptibility to regulatory and geographical concentration risks
 
Material covenants
­None
 
Liquidity Position
Adequate
The Liquidity position can be speculated to be adequate with the majority portion of the funding for the project being contributed by the promoters and the balance by bank loan. Further, the company has debt-tie up already in place from the banks. However, higher dependence on customer advances may impact the liquidity going forward.
 
Outlook: Stable
Acuité believes the outlook on SSSD will remain ‘Stable’ over the medium term basis of the project being constructed. The outlook may be revised to ‘Positive’ if the entity is able to service the debt borrowed in a timely and efficient manner. Conversely, the outlook may be revised to ‘Negative’ in case of deterioration in liquidity profile.

­In order to inform the investors about complexity of instruments, Acuité has categorized such instruments in three levels: Simple, Complex and Highly Complex. Acuite’ s categorisation of the instruments across the three categories is based on factors like variability of the returns to the investors, uncertainty in cash flow patterns, number of counterparties and general understanding of the instrument by the market.
