The outlook is 'Stable'.

Rationale for rating
The rating takes into account long track record and  experience of the management in auto mobile dealership. Further, the rating factors in moderate financial risk profile along with efficient working capital mechanism.

Key Rating Drivers

Strengths
­Long track record and established market position
Tayal India motors Private Ltd(TIMPL) was incorporated in 2000 and was an authorized dealer for Tata motors till 2017, since April 2018 TIMPL has taken authorised dealership of Maruti Suzuki India Ltd (MSIL). TIMPL is promoted by Mr. Rakesh Mohan Agarwal, Mr. Ayush Agarwal and Mr. Arpit Agarwal. TIMPL operates in Faridabad, Jaipur and Palwal regions. Company has Maruti Suzuki Arena showroom located in Faridabad, Nexa showroom in Palwal and truevalue showroom in Faridabad further the company has launched one of its showroom in Jaipur. Company also operates three workshop, one of them is located in Faridabad, one in Jaipur and one workshop is located in Palwal. Company generates revenue through sale and services of Maruti Suzuki vehicles. The company also sells spares for the service purpose. Acuite’ believes that TIMPL will continue to benefit from its established track record of operations and extensive experience of promoters.
Healthy Growth in Revenue and slight moderation in profitability margins
TIMPL generates up to 80 percent of its revenue from sale of vehicles and 11 percent revenue through workshops services. TIMPL’s operating income increased from Rs. 209.92 Cr. in FY2022 to Rs. 271.68 Cr. in FY2023. Further operating profits decreased from Rs. 8.84 Cr. in FY2022 to Rs. 8.44 Cr. in FY2023 with dip in operating margins from 4.21 percent in FY2022 to 3.11 percent in FY2023. The dip in profitability is on account of higher employee cost and higher cost of vehicles on account of discounts given. ROCE declined from 25.42 percent in FY2022 to 16.58 percent in FY2023. Increase in revenue is attributable to improvement in car sales is on account of improved microchip supply and steady growth in income levels coupled with introduction of new models by Maruti Suzuki.
Comfortable Working Capital Management
The working capital operations of TIMPL is marked comfortable with Gross current asset (GCA) days of 59 days in FY 2023 as against 41 days in FY 2022 increase in GCA days is due to increased  inventory days from 18 days in FY2022 to 24 days in FY2023. Debtors days remained stable at 14 days for FY2022 and FY2023. Acuite’ believes that working capital operations of the company may continue to remain comfortable considering the nature of business.

Weaknesses
Moderation in Financial risk profile
TIMPL’s financial risk profile has moderated marked by moderate capital structure and moderate coverage indicators. Company’s net worth stood Rs. 19.07 Cr. as on March 31, 2023 as against Rs. 15.37 Cr. as on 31 March, 2023. Total debt increased to Rs. 36.25 Cr. as on 31st March 2023 from Rs. 16.13 Cr. as on March 31st  2022. The total debt increased on account of higher working capital requirement and CAPEX done in FY23. The total debt consists of Rs. 28.27 Cr. short term debt, Rs. 5.79 Cr. of long term debt and Rs. 2.18 Cr. of CPLTD. Interest coverage ratio and DSCR declined and stood at 3.97 times and 2.96 times simultaneously, as on March 31st, 2023 as compared to 5.47 times and 4.52 times as on March 31st 2022. The net cash accrual (NCA) to total debt(TD) is 0.15 times as on March 31st 2023 and 0.37 times as on March 31st 2022. The Total outside liabilities to Tangible net worth stood at 2.46 times for FY2023 as against 1.52 times in FY2022.
­Exposure to intense industry competition
The passenger car industry in India is highly competitive. Being an authorized dealer for Maruti Suzuki India Ltd (MSIL), the company has to compete with dealers of other car brands such as Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd, Tata Motors Ltd . Auto manufacturers also encourage more dealerships (thereby increasing competition among dealers) to improve market penetration and sales. Thus, the business risk profile may continue to be constrained by limited bargaining power with principals, and exposure to intense competition.
Rating Sensitivities
  • Improved business risk profile supported by increase in scale of operations and improvement in operating margins.
  • Improved working capital requirement marked by decline in inventory levels
  • Improvement in financial risk profile of the company
 
Liquidity Position
Adequate
­TIMPL has adequate liquidity positions as reflected by company’s net cash accruals of Rs.5.28 Cr against Rs. 0.32 cr. maturing debt obligations. Current ratio of the firm stood at 1.10 times and cash and bank balance stood at 0.24 Cr as on March 31st 2023. Firm’s GCA days are around 40 to 60 days making it less dependent for short term borrowing for working capital requirements. Average cash credit bank utilization stood at -24 percent for 6 months ended December 2023.
 
Outlook: Stable
­Acuité believes that TIMPL will maintain a ‘Stable’ outlook and continue to benefit over the medium term owing to its promoter’s extensive industry experience, Strong product profile, and strong dealership network. The outlook may be revised to 'Positive' in case of sustained improvement in the scale of operations and profitability while maintaining comfortable financial risk profile and liquidity position. Conversely, the outlook may be revised to 'Negative' in case of a steep decline in revenue and profitability or if the financial risk profile weakens, because of stretch in the working capital cycle or higher than expected debt-funded capital expenditure.
