BWR assigns the Long Term Rating of BWR B+ Stable and Short term rating of BWR A4 to H.V. Equipments Pvt Ltd. The rating draws strength from the extensive experience of the promoters and moderate credit risk profile. However, the rating of the company is constrained by working capital intensive operations, tender based nature of operations and Covid 19 effect.

BWR believes that H.V. Equipments Pvt. Ltd. business risk profile will be maintained over the medium term. The 'Stable' outlook indicates a low likelihood of rating change over the medium term. The rating outlook may be revised to 'Positive' in case the revenues and profit show sustained improvement. The rating outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if financial credit risk profile deteriorate including the liquidity.
