Rating Rationale

­ACUITE has reaffirmed its long term rating of 'ACUITE BB+' (read as ACUITE double B plus) and short term rating of 'ACUITE A4+' (read as ACUITE A four plus) on the Rs.59.18 Crore bank facilities of Suyash Chemical and Fertilizer Private Limited (SCFPL). The outlook is 'Stable'.

ACUITE has assigned its short term rating of 'ACUITE A4+' (read as ACUITE A four plus) on the Rs.8.34 Crore bank facilities of Suyash Chemical and Fertilizer Private Limited (SCFPL). 

Rationale for rating
The reaffirmation rating is based on the steady business risk profile marked by improvement in the company's revenue, which grew by approximately 30.36% to Rs. 236.70 Cr. in FY2025 from Rs. 181.57 Cr. in FY2024. This increase in revenue is primarily attributed to higher sales volume. The operating margin of the company stood at 4.16% in FY25 against 3.97% in FY24 due to the increase in average realization. The rating also considers the company's adequate liquidity position, which is reflected in its sufficient net cash accruals to meet debt obligations. Additional positive factors include an experienced management team and a moderate financial risk profile. However the rating remains constrained on account of intensive working capital operations and susceptibility to profitability due to volatility in raw material prices.
