Key Rating Drivers

Strengths
Strong and experienced promoter
Incorporated in 2019, Suvita Real Estate Private Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of Shapoorji Pallonji Construction Private Limited which is further fully owned by Shapoorji Pallonji and Company Private Limited. SREPL on a standalone basis is not into any day-to-day operations. The Shapoorji Pallonji group is one of the well established and diversified group in India, having operations in various fields such as construction, real estate, infrastructure, Water, Energy etc, having significant value of land and property holdings.

 

Weaknesses
Delay in repayment of NCD.
SREPL in October 2020 has issued non-convertible debenture worth Rs.75.00 crores to Blackrock-Asia Pacific Private Credit Opportunities 1 Singapore Pte. Ltd which was due for repayment in September 2023. The company has till date not been able to repay the entire amount outstanding.
     
High dependence on the refinancing
The company is highly dependent on the refinancing of the NCD to repay the existing lender. However, successful refinance is dependent upon the compliance of various precedent conditions laid down in the term sheet. Timely refinance of the debt would be the key rating sensitivity.

 
Rating Sensitivities
  • Timely refinancing by issuance of NCD
 
All Covenants
­None
 
Liquidity Position
Poor
The liquidity of the company is marked poor as it has already defaulted on its NCD repayment obligations.  The company has proposed a new NCD to repay the existing lender. Going ahead, the group will be monetizing land to repay the proposed NCD.

The provisional rating shall be converted into a final rating within 90 days from the date of issuance of the proposed debt instrument. Under no circumstance shall the provisional rating continue upon the expiry of 180 days from the date of issuance of the proposed debt instrument

Note on complexity levels of the rated instrument
­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. It has to be understood that complexity is different from credit risk and even an instrument categorized as 'Simple' can carry high levels of risk.
