Detailed Rationale

Due to inadequate information, CRISIL, in line with Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) guidelines, had migrated the ratings on the bank facilities of Indotech Industries India Private Limited (IIIPL) to 'CRISIL BB-/Stable/CRISIL A4+ Issuer Not Cooperating'. However, the management has subsequently started sharing the requisite information for carrying out a comprehensive review of the rating. Consequently, CRISIL is migrating the rating from 'CRISIL BB-/Stable/CRISIL A4+ Issuer Not Cooperating' to 'CRISIL BB-/Stable/CRISIL A4+'.
 
CRISIL's rating on the bank loan facilities of IIIPL reflects CRISIL's belief that the company will register a strong revenue growth in fiscal 2019 and 2020, backed by expansion in production facilities, while maintaining operating margin, rationalizing working capital requirement and without any adverse change in the capital structure. The rating also factors in the extensive experience of the company's promoters and superior quality of its machines. These rating strengths are partially offset by a highly intensive working capital cycle and modest scale of operations. 

Analytical Approach

CRISIL has treated unsecured loans in the books of IIIPL, from its promoters and affiliate entities, worth Rs 11.95 crore as at March 31, 2018, as neither debt nor equity as these loans are subordinated to all external debt and are expected to remain in the business for atleast next three years.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Strengths
* Extensive experience of promoters:
The promoters of the company, Mr Rahul Modi and Mr Vijay Kasat, are technocrats who have collective experience of more than three decades in the industry. This has enabled the company to develop stable association with marquee customers such as Maruti Suzuki India Limited (CRISIL AAA/Stable/CRISIL A1+), Force Motors Limited (CRISIL AA/Stable/CRISIL A1+), Hindalco Industries Limited (CRISIL AA+/Positive/CRISIL A1+) and Tata Motors Limited (CRISIL AA/Positive/CRISIL A1+), among others. Continuous demand from key customers is expected to keep the company in good stead in the coming years.
 
* Superior quality of products:
The band saw machines sold by IIIPL are of superior quality offering higher efficiency, lower downtime and lesser servicing requirement. The company has been able to leverage upon its association with the Spain-based $ 40 billion Danobat group, and since fiscal 2015, has relied on advanced technologies while manufacturing its machines.  This has enabled the company to turnaround its business, and ramp up its machining operations and is expected to serve it well over the medium term.
 
Weaknesses
* Large working capital requirement:
IIIFL had gross current assets of more than 300 days as at March 31, 2018, on account of high receivables and large inventory requirement to facilitate quick turnaround of orders from marquee customers. The receivables are high on account of credit period offered to customers and amounts retained by the customer during defect liability period. As a result, a significant amount gets blocked as working capital, leading to reliance on external debt, and thereby considerable interest outlay.
 
* Modest scale of operations:
IIIPL's scale of operations, despite the recent ramp up, is modest with revenue of around Rs 34 crore in fiscal 2018. This results in limited bargaining power for the company with all industry stakeholders, thereby constraining its overall business prospects.
Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that IIIPL will continue to benefit over the medium term, from the experience of its promoters and superior quality of products. The outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if the company registers higher-than-expected revenue growth, while maintaining operating margin and capital structure, while reducing the working capital cycle. Conversely, the outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if there is a slump in the revenue, or a dip in operating margin due to stabilization of operations post ongoing capex, or a deterioration in the capital structure and/or working capital cycle.

About the Company

IIIPL, based in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, was formed in 2004 by Mr Rahul Modi and Mr Vijay Kasat. It manufactures band saw machinery (used in metal cutting) at its facility in Indore, and iron castings at its foundry in Dewas, Madhya Pradesh.
