Long Term Rating CRISIL BB/Stable (Assigned)

Refer to annexure for Details of Instruments & Bank Facilities
Detailed Rationale

CRISIL has assigned its 'CRISIL BB/Stable' rating to the long-term bank facilities of Dhanuka Realty Limited (DRL).
 
The rating reflects the extensive experience of its promoters and established position in the real estate industry in Jaipur (Rajasthan), further supported by moderate bookings and customer advances for ongoing projects. These strengths are partially offset by geographical concentration in revenue and susceptibility to cyclicality in the real estate industry.

Analytical Approach

To arrive at its rating, CRISIL has combined the business and financial risk profiles of DRL with that of its two 100% subsidiaries, Triveni Kripa Buildhome Pvt Ltd (TKBPL) and Dhanuka Affordable Housing Pvt Ltd (DAHPL). This is because all the three companies have operational and financial fungibility.

Please refer Annexure - List of entities consolidated, which captures the list of entities considered and their analytical treatment of consolidation.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Strengths
* Extensive experience of the promoters: DRL has a strong brand in the Jaipur real estate market and an established track record, supported by the promoters' experience of over 20 years. Business risk profile is also supported by healthy collection backed by track record of timely execution and delivery.

* Moderate bookings and customer advances: Bookings for the company's two ongoing projects have been above average: as of August 2020, more than 30% of the total units currently being developed was booked. Nearly 70% of the construction cost for the ongoing projects was incurred by August 2020. The advance stage of projects execution partly ally project related risks. However if any additional project is undertaken before completion of ongoing ones, the same may limit the financial flexibility and increase the overall project risk.

Weaknesses
* Geographical concentration in operations: Entire revenue is derived from Jaipur, which exposes the company's operations to any change in real estate policy in, or demand from, that region.

* Exposure to risks and cyclicality inherent in the real estate sector: Cyclicality in the real estate sector could result in fluctuations in cash inflow and volatility in sales. In contrast, cash outflow, including debt obligation, is relatively fixed. The residential real estate sector has remained constrained by weak demand and bearish consumer sentiment in the past few years. Demonetisation, Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act (RERA), Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Covid-19 have also hit demand as buyers adopt a wait-and-watch attitude, and have increased funding challenges for developers. Any decline in demand could adversely impact sales velocity and collections and weaken financial risk profile.
Liquidity Adequate

Liquidity is adequate, supported by moderate sales and collections in ongoing projects. Liquidity will remain strong over the medium term, backed by expected inflow of customer advances and fund infusion from the promoters in case of any exigency.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes DRL will continue to benefit from its established presence in Jaipur.

Rating Sensitivity factors
Upward Factors:
*Bookings in excess of 90% by fiscal 2021-end
*Healthy cash flows from completion of project
 
Downward Factors:
*Bookings below 40% by end of fiscal 2021
*Substantial delay in completion of project.
About the Company

Formed in 2002 by Mr Girish Dhanuka, the Dhanuka group undertakes residential real estate projects. The group was started with a partnership concern, Dhanuka Colonizer and Builders, which constructed mainly affordable single tower projects. In 2005, the firm was reconstituted as a private limited company, Dhanuka Colonizer and Builders Pvt Ltd (DCBPL). Subsequently, another entity, Sunshine Buildmart Pvt Ltd, was formed in which the stakes were held by DCBPL and Dhanuka family.
 
In 2008, DCBPL was renamed DRL and two other subsidiaries were formed: TKBPL and DAHPL. All these entities are engaged in residential and commercial real estate construction.
