CRISIL ‘BBB’ and ‘P3+’ for TRANSSTROY INDIA LIMITED’s bank facilities
Rs.1580 Million Cash Credit BBB/Stable (Assigned)
Rs.1100 Million Term Loan BBB/Stable (Assigned)
Rs.368 Million Letter of Credit P3+ (Assigned)
Rs.952 Million Bank Guarantee P3+ (Assigned)

CRISIL has assigned its ‘BBB/Stable/P3+’ ratings to Transstroy India Ltd’s (TIL’s) bank facilities. The ratings reflect TIL’s sizeable order book and healthy financial risk profile, marked by adequate net worth and comfortable debt protection metrics. These rating strengths are partially offset by TIL’s exposure to sectoral and geographical concentration in revenue profile, and large working capital requirements.

Outlook: Stable
CRISIL believes that TIL will continue to benefit from its buoyant order book and strong growth in operating income, over the medium term. The company’s financial risk profile is expected to remain sound on the back of healthy cash accruals and strong capital structure. The outlook may be revised to ‘Positive’ in case of continued improvement in TIL’s revenues and profitability, and increased diversification of its project profile. Conversely, the outlook may be revised to ‘Negative’ if there are time and cost overruns in TIL’s ongoing and future projects, leading to decline in its profitability, or increase in its investments in its special purpose vehicle, leading to weakening of its financial risk profile.

About the Company
TIL was established in 2001 by Mrs. Leela Kumari. The day-to-day activities of the company are managed by Mr. Sridhar Cherukuri. The company mainly undertakes roads and irrigation projects in Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh.

TIL reported a profit after tax (PAT) of Rs.899 million on net sales of Rs.10204 million for 2009-10 (refers to financial year, April 1 to March 31), against a PAT of Rs.546 million on net sales of Rs.5790 million for 2008-09.
