Detailed Rationale

CRISIL has assigned its 'CRISIL BB/Stable' rating to the bank facilities of Independent Resources India Private Limited (IRIPL).
 
The rating reflect IRIPL's extensive industry experience of the promoters and moderate financial risk profile. These strength are partially offset by its working capital intensive operations and modest scale of operations amid intense competition.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Strengths
* Extensive industry experience of the promoters:
The promoters have an experience of over 20 years in mill scale business. This has given them an understanding of the dynamics of the market, and enabled them to establish relationships with suppliers and customers. Promoters experience coupled with relationships with suppliers and customers is expected to support the business over the medium term.
 
* Moderate financial risk profile:
Financial risk profile is marked by moderate networth, moderate capital structure and adequate debt protection metrics.

Networth remains moderate at Rs. 7.98 Cr as on March 31, 2020. With moderate accretion to reserves, networth is expected to remain around Rs. 9-10 Cr over the medium term. Capital structure is marked by moderate gearing of 2.21 times as on March 31, 2020. With no major debt funded capital expenditure expected, capital structure is expected to improve over the medium term. Debt protection remains adequate with interest cover of 2.04 times for FY20.
 
Weaknesses
* Working capital intensive operations:
Operations remain working capital intensive as indicated high gross current assets (GCA) of 207 days as on March 31, 2020. High GCA days is due to inventory of 107 days and receivables of 59 days as on March 31, 2020. Given the nature of business, operations are expected to remain working capital intensive over the medium term.
 
* Modest scale of operations amid intense competition:
With revenue of Rs 76.13 crore in fiscal 2020, scale remains small in the intensely competitive industry. Business risk profile remains susceptible to risks inherent due to presence of large number of organized & unorganized players in the segment driven by low capital requirement, the industry is exposed to intense competition.
Liquidity Adequate

Liquidity profile is marked by moderately high bank limit utilization and healthy cushion between accruals and repayments.

Bank limit utilization is moderate at around 91 percent for the past eleven months ended April 2020. Company has generated cash accruals of Rs. 1.53 Cr against minimal repayment obligations for FY20. It is expected to generate cash accruals of around Rs. 1.75 ' 2 Cr over the medium term. Additionally, promoters are expected to provide funding support as and when required. Unsecured loans from promoters stood at Rs. 3.26 Cr as on March 31, 2020.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes IRIPL will continue to benefit over the medium term from extensive experience of promoters and its longstanding relationships with customers and suppliers.

Rating Sensitivity factors
Upward Factor
* It sustained revenue growth of 30 percent while operating profitability is maintained at 5 %
* Improvement in  working capital cycle

Downward Factors
* Stretch in working capital cycle with GCA days above 240 days
* Weakening of financial risk profile due to larger than expected debt funded capital expenditure.
