KEY RATING DRIVERS

Credit Strengths:

• Extensive Experience Of The Partners :

  Presence of 20 years in construction industry has helped the promoters get repeat orders from the Madhya Pradesh Rural Road Development Authority (MPRRDA) and Public Works Department (PWD) of Madhya Pradesh.

• Relatively Moderate Financial Risk Profile :

  The gearing of the entity has improved to 1.11X in FY19 which is further expected to improve to 1.01X as per the provisional FY20 provided by the management. Gearing is likely to decline on account of accretion to reserve and absence of debt-funded capital expenditure (capex) over the medium term. The ISCR & DSCR of the entity stand at 2.94X & 3.19X in FY19 vis-a-vis 2.48X & 2.45X in FY18.

Credit Risks:

• Exposure to geographic concentration risk :

  Since inception, ACC has constructed roads and bridges mainly for MPRRDA and PWD in Madhya Pradesh, and hence, faces geographic concentration risk.

• Delay in timely execution of project on account of lockdown due to Covid19 :

  The construction work in the country has come to a stand still on account of the world wide pandemic caused on account of Covid19. This is expected to lead to a delay in the execution of projects which shall affect the revenues & profits of the entity in the short-medium term.

• Tender Based Operations :

  Since revenue depends on success in winning tenders in a competitive bidding process,the margins available to the entity are restricted.

• Inherent risk associated with the constitution of the firm :

  Constitution of the entity being a partnership concern, it is exposed to the risk of withdrawal of funds in case of personal exigencies.
