Particulars| Facility** | Amount (Rs.Crs) | Tenure | Rating* |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fund Based | |||
| Term Loan Out-standing | 49.83 | Long Term | BWR BB (Stable) |

BWR assigns the long term rating as BWR BB to "Arora Udyog Ltd." with stable outlook.
The rating draws strength from the management experience in the real estate industry, comfortable capital structure and strong funding from the group company IBC Knowledge Park Pvt Ltd. However, the rating is constrained by risk associated with ongoing commercial real estate project and high competition in the industry.
BWR believes that "Arora Udyog 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 company is able to complete its ongoing project without time and cost overrun, add clients in its ongoing project and strengthen its financial risk profile. The rating outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if there is delay in project completion, significant cost overrun or any deterioration in the financial risk profile.
KEY RATING DRIVERS
Credit Strengths:
The promoters of the company have long experience in the industry and have successfully completed various commercial projects on time; this should help them to complete the ongoing project on time. Further, the promoters have infused unsecured loans to support the cash flow requirement of the project. The company is backed by its group company "IBC Knowledge Park Pvt Ltd" with a major shareholding of 60.20% and a strong explicit funding of Rs 207.00 Crs as on 31 Mar 2020 as an unsecured loan to the AUL, ensures the cash flow for smooth operations.
As on 31 Mar 2021 (Prov.), capital structure of the company stood at comfortable level marked by a networth of Rs 69.62 Crs and below unity gearing of 0.87x. However, constrained by high total outside liabilities to TNW of 4.31x.
Credit Risks:
The company is undertaking a commercial real estate project IBC Knowledge Park in Manesar, Gurgaon. While implementation and funding risk is moderate however, project completion without time and cost overruns and demand risk would be a key monitorable.
Real estate industry is highly fragmented with the presence of many small and large players which limits the price and profitability.
For arriving at its ratings, BWR has applied its rating methodology as detailed in the Rating Criteria detailed below (hyperlinks provided at the end of this rationale).
RATING SENSITIVITIES
Going forward the ability of the company to complete its ongoing project without time and cost overrun, add clients in its ongoing project and strengthen its financial risk profile would be key rating sensitivities.
Positive: The rating outlook may be revised to positive if the company is able to complete its ongoing project without time and cost overrun, add clients in its ongoing project and strengthen its financial risk profile.
Negative: The rating outlook may be revised to negative if there is delay in project completion, significant cost overrun or any deterioration in the financial risk profile.
