M K Roy & Bros Projects Private Limited: Instrument Amount Rating Action
ICRA has assigned a long-term rating of [ICRA]B+ (pronounced ICRA B plus) to the Rs. 5.15 crore1 cash
credit, Rs. 4.50 crore non-fund based bank facility, and Rs. 0.35 crore unallocated limit of M K Roy & Bros
Projects Private Limited (MKRPL / the company) 2. ICRA has also assigned a short-term rating of [ICRA]A4
(pronounced ICRA A four) to the above mentioned non-fund based bank facility and unallocated limit of the
company, which have been rated both on long-term and short-term scales.
The ratings assigned take into account MKRPL’s small scale of current operations vis-a-vis the large
established players in the industry, notwithstanding a significant revenue growth achieved in FY2016, and the
competitive nature of the industry, with the lowest bid (L-1)-based contract awarding system followed by the
customers, which keeps profitability under check. The company’s long receivable cycle and significant amount
of bank guarantee provided to customers reduce its financial flexibility, as reflected by the frequent full
utilisation of the working capital limit. Though the high creditor-funding availed by the company eases MKRPL’s
liquidity to an extent, it results in high TOL/TNW. The company has limited bargaining power against its larger
and stronger customers, and also remains exposed to significant customer concentration risks, with the top
three customers accounting for around 94% of the total revenue clocked during FY2016. ICRA also notes that
the company is in the process of providing funding support to a subsidiary, which is exposed to the project risks
associated with a significant capex planned in the near to medium term. Any significant support extended to its
subsidiary, in turn, is likely to have an adverse bearing on MKRPL’s credit profile.
The ratings, however, factor in the long experience of the promoters in the fabrication and erection of petroleum
product storage facilities, and MKRPL’s established customer base, which includes large public sector
undertakings (PSUs), thereby reducing counterparty risks. ICRA also takes note of the company’s comfortable
order-book position rendering revenue visibility in the near term.
Going forward, the company’s ability to augment its scale of business, while improving profitability and keeping
its receivables under control, would remain key rating sensitivities.
