RATING ACTION / OUTLOOK

BWR reaffirms the ratings at BWR BB/Stable/A4 of India Circuits Pvt Ltd.

The rating draws strength from the rich experience of the management of the company in the circuits boards manufacturing business and moderate financial risk profile. The rating of the firm is constrained by the competition in the Circuits boards manufacturing industry. 

BWR believes that the business risk profile of “India Circuits” 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 there is significant improvement in revenues and profit margins of the company. The rating outlook may be revised to “Negative” if there is any deterioration in the financial risk profile including liquidity of the company.
