Rating Rationale |
|
Acuite has reaffirmed its long-term rating of 'ACUITE AA (CE)' (read as ACUITE double A (Credit Enhancement)) on the Rs. 8999.91 Cr. Non-Convertible Debentures (NCD) of The Andhra Pradesh Mineral Development Corporation Limited (APMDCL). The outlook is 'Stable'. |
| About the Company |
|
Incorporated in 1961, The Andhra Pradesh Mineral Development Corporation Limited is a Hyderabad based, wholly owned entity of the GoAP engaged in the exploration, mining, and marketing of various minerals both within and outside the State of Andhra Pradesh. Mr. Pravin Kumar is the current managing director of the company. |
| Unsupported Rating |
| ACUITE A+| Stable |
| Analytical Approach |
|
Acuité has considered the standalone business and financial risk profile of APMDCL and further notched up for the support of GoAP, structured payment mechanism and provision of direct debit mechanism from the consolidated funds of GoAP. |
| Key Rating Drivers |
| Strengths |
| Wholly owned by Government of Andhra Pradesh (GoAP), nodal agency for development of mining in the state |
| Weaknesses |
| Vulnerable fiscal profile of Andhra Pradesh amid improved economic performance: |
| Assessment of Adequacy of Credit Enhancement under various scenarios including stress scenarios (applicable for ratings factoring specified support considerations with or without the “CE” suffix) |
|
Government guarantee for DSRA replenishment with structured payment mechanism
The Government of Andhra Pradesh (GoAP) has provided a guarantee to cover any shortfall in the DSRA within the specified timeline. The Debenture Trustee would check the adequacy of funds available in the DSRA on the first day of every quarterly servicing cycle. In the event of any shortfall in DSRA due to impairment on account of transfer of funds to BSA or for any other reason, the DT would send DSRA shortfall notice to GoAP on the next day stating that if the amount is not fully replenished within the next 30 days, the guarantee would be invoked to the extent of such shortfall along with simultaneous triggering of Defined Recourse Mechanism (Direct Debit Mechanism) in the post invocation scenario. Stress case Scenario
Acuite has sensitized the projected cash flows against maturing repayment obligations and found that even in a stressed scenario, APMDCL would be able to timely meet its scheduled repayment obligations. Further, Acuite believes that, given the adequacy of the structured payment mechanism and unconditional, irrevocable and legally enforceable guarantee provided by Government of Andhra Pradesh (GoAP) including direct debit mechanism (DDM), APMDCL will be able to service its debt on time, even in a stress scenario. |

| Liquidity Position |
| Adequate |
|
The liquidity position is adequate with expected sufficient cash flows against its projected maturing repayment obligations. The company has generated net cash accruals of Rs.944.69Cr in FY2026 (Prov.). as against the debt repayment obligation of Rs. 108 Cr. Going forward the company is expected to generate surplus of ~Rs.1745Cr and ~Rs.2098Cr in FY2027 & FY2028 respectively, as against the debt repayment obligation of Rs.1569Cr. and Rs.1730Cr for the same period. The average DSCR is expected to remain at ~1.57 times during the tenure of the NCDs. The cash and bank balance stood at Rs. 759.17 Cr. as on 31st March 2026 (Prov.). The current ratio of the company stood at 1.69 times as on 31st March 2026 (Prov.). Further, the liquidity is supported by provision of upfront DSRA creation of Rs.918.24Cr, government support in the form of replenishment of DSRA balance in case of impairment of any shortfall, unconditional irrevocable and legally enforceable guarantee and provision of direct debit mechanism to support the debt servicing. |
