RATING ACTION / OUTLOOK

Brickwork Ratings (BWR) has reaffirmed the long term and short term ratings for the bank loan facilities of Rs 27.16 of Dekson Castings Limited (DCL) at BWR BB- /Stable/A4 and simultaneously withdrawn the ratings on account of the request received from the entity for the withdrawal and the No Objection Certificate provided by the lender in this regard. The rating reaffirmation continues to factor in the promoter's experience and long-standing relationships with reputed clientele, along with moderate profitability margins, debt coverage indicators and sufficient liquidity cushion. These strengths are offset by relatively smaller scale of operations with leveraged capital structure and high customer concentration which exposes DCL to the risk of significant revenue loss in the event of downturns in the business of any of its customers, or to any change in clients' business plans.

BWR has essentially relied upon the Audited Financials of the company for FY22, projected financials for FY23 and FY24, and information/clarifications provided by the entity’s management.

Hence, in accordance with extant regulatory guidelines and BWR's Rating Withdrawal Policy, ratings for the bank loan facilities of Dekson Castings Limited are withdrawn.
