Detailed Rationale

CRISIL has downgraded the rating on the bank facilities of Rajamane Industries Private Limited (RIPL) to 'CRISIL BB/Stable' from 'CRISIL BB+/Stable'.

The downgrade reflects the decline in RIPL's operating performance during fiscal 2020 and the expected deterioration in business risk profile which is likely to impact the financial risk profile; particularly liquidity over the medium term. The turnover and operating profitability is expected to decline to around Rs.65 crore and 4 percent for fiscal 2020 from around Rs.87 crore and 5.7 percent respectively. Consequently expected cash accrual of Rs.1.5 crore for fiscal 2020 is expected to remain tightly matched against repayments.

The ratings continue to reflect the promoter's extensive experience in the industrial pumps and automobile industry, and RIPL's moderate financial risk profile. These strengths are partially offset by moderate scale of operations and susceptibility to volatile raw material prices.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Strengths:
* Promoter's extensive experience:
The promoter's engineering background and extensive experience has helped the company strengthen its market position by offering diversified products ranging from pumps, automotive parts to ferrous and non-ferrous foundry products. The products cater to diverse industries, thus reducing dependence on any single industry.
 
* Moderate financial risk profile:
Financial risk profile is supported by moderate gearing of 1.17 times as of March 2019.  Debt protection metrics are healthy with interest coverage ratio and net cash accrual to adjusted debt at 3.23 times and 23% as of March 31, 2019. CRISIL believes the financial risk profile shall remain moderate over the medium term.
 
Weaknesses:
* Moderate scale of operations:
Scale of operations is moderate, with a revenue of Rs 86.49 crore in fiscal 2019. Intense competition continues to constrain scalability and operating margin., CRISIL believes the scale of operations shall remain moderate due to slow revival of the industry over the medium term.
 
* Susceptibility to volatile raw material prices:
The company's operating profitability is susceptible to the prices of raw materials like copper iron and steel. The susceptibility has been reflected in the volatile operating profitability in the range of 5.7 percent to 9.6 percent for the four years ended March 2019.Susceptibility to fluctuation in the prices of major raw materials such as copper, iron and steel impact operating margin.
Liquidity Stretched

RIPL has stretched liquidity driven by expected cash accruals in the range Rs. 1.5 ' Rs. 3.5 crore to meet tightly matched repayment obligations in the range of Rs. 1.7- Rs. 2.1 crore over the medium term.   RIPL also has access to fund based limits of Rs. 4.5 crores, utilized at an average of around 80% on an average over the 12 months ended December 2019. However liquidity is supported by funding support from the promoters in the form of unsecured loans which was at around Rs.2 crore as on March 31, 2019. 

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes RIPL will continue to benefit over the medium term from its promoter's extensive experience.
 
Rating Sensitivity Factors
Upward factors
* Improvement in turnover by around 20 percent, along with improvement in operating profitability, resulting in better than expected cash accrual.
* Customer diversification in revenue profile

Downward factors
* Decline in operating margins to less than 3%
* Any large debt funded capital expenditure, adversely impacting the financial risk profile
