Detailed Rationale

Crisil Ratings has reaffirmed its Crisil BB/Stable/Crisil A4+’ ratings on the bank loan facilities of PVR Projects (PVR).

 

The rating reflects the extensive industry experience of PVR’s partner, moderate order book and healthy operating efficiencies. These strengths are partially offset by its leveraged capital structure and order book concentration.

Analytical Approach
Crisil Ratings has evaluated the standalone business and financial risk profiles of PVR.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description

Strengths:

  • Extensive industry experience of the partner: The partners has extensive experience in Civil Construction industry. This has given them an understanding of the dynamics of the market and enabled them to establish relationships with suppliers and customers. The firm has scaled up its revenue in the past few years to around Rs 90-95 crores supported by the extensive experience of the partner.

 

  • Moderate order book and healthy operating efficiencies: Unexecuted order book of around Rs 200 crore as on 31-Mar-2025 provides revenue visibility for the medium term. Further aided by healthy operating efficiencies, return on capital employed (RoCE) is expected to remain healthy at above 20% over the medium term.

 

Weaknesses:

  • Modest financial risk profile: The company has a leveraged capital structure marked by a high gearing of over 1.46 times as on March 31, 2025 and total outside liabilities to tangible networth at 2.93 times as on 31st March 2025. Financial risk profile is expected to be constrained because of its modest networth and leveraged capital structure.

 

  • Concentrated order book: The operations of the company are concentrated in the state of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Jammu. This has resulted in high geographical concentration. Moreover, with a single party order accounting for over 40% of the total orderbook, any significant delays in execution or receiving collections from counterparty, may impact the operating performance and liquidity of the firm.

Liquidity: Stretched

Bank limit utilization is high at around 96.98 percent for the past thirteen months ended January 25. Cash accruals are expected to be over Rs 4.67-5.60 crores which are sufficient against term debt obligation of Rs 2.20-0.54 crores over the medium term. In addition, it will act as a cushion to the liquidity of the company. Current ratios are moderate at 1.17 times on March31, 2025. The promoters are likely to extend support in the form of equity and unsecured loans to meet its working capital requirements and repayment obligations.

OutlookL Stable

Crisil Ratings believe PVR will continue to benefit from the extensive experience of its promoter, and established relationships with clients.

Rating sensitivity factors

Upward factors:

  • Increase in revenue by 20-25% with sustenance of margins leading to accruals above Rs 5 crores
  • Improvement in financial risk profile & liquidity

 

Downward factors:

  • Decline in net cash accruals below Rs 2.5 crore on account of decline in revenue or operating profits.
  • Witnesses a substantial increase in its working capital requirements thus weakening its liquidity & financial profile
