Detailed Rationale

CRISIL ratings on the bank facilities of Govind Rubber Limited (GRL) reflects instances of delays in servicing term debt obligations by GRL , GRL's weak financial risk profile marked by high gearing and weak debt protection metrics, and susceptibility of GRL's margins to volatility in raw material prices. These rating weaknesses are partially offset by the GRL's established market position coupled with extensive experience of its promoters in the tyre industry.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Weakness
* Delays in repayment of term loan obligation owing to weak liquidity
There have been instances of delay by GRL in servicing its term debt owing to weak liquidity. The delays are mainly on account of insufficient cash accrual to meet debt obligations.

* Weak financial risk profile
GRL has a weak financial risk profile because of high gearing and weak debt protection metrics. GRL's gearing was high at 5.8 times as on 31st March 2018 due to high debt level from large working capital requirement. The company had weak debt protection metrics, with negative interest coverage ratio of 1.16 times for fiscal 2018.

Strengths
* Extensive experience of promoter and established relationships with customers and suppliers: Over the years, the promoters have developed strong relationships with major suppliers and customers. They have also established the company's brand, GRL, across the country. Their extensive experience helps the company understand price trends and calibrate purchasing decisions.
