Brickwork Ratings Assigns the long term and short term ratings of BWR BB+/Stable and BWR A4+ for the facilities of Rs.54.87crs of Alishan Green Energy Pvt. Ltd.
The Rating has factored, inter alia, Positive demand outlook for the solar industry and Improvement in scale of operations. However, the rating is constrained by Intense competition, High degree of concentration and Foreign exposure and raw material price fluctuation risk. Going forward, the ability of the company to Improve their operational scale, profitability and credit profile would be the key rating sensitivities.
The rating outlook has been assigned as "Stable" as BWR believes that Alishan Green Energy 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 revenue and profitability margins show sustained improvement. The rating outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if the financial risk profile goes down.
Credit Strengths:
The company is well positioned to benefit from the increasing focus on solar energy in India and the government's long term strategy to expand renewable energy generation. The introduction of protectionist policies, including a 40% Basic Customs Duty on imported solar modules and a 25% duty on solar cells, effective from April 2022, along with the implementation of the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers and incentives for domestic manufacturers under the Production Linked Incentive scheme, enhances the cost competitiveness of locally produced solar modules. Furthermore, government-backed initiatives such as the Kisan Urja Suraksha Utthan Mahabhiyan, Central Public Sector Undertaking projects, PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, and various rooftop solar programs continue to drive demand for solar solutions.
The company's total operating income increased to Rs.109.19cr in FY25 from Rs. 60.07cr in FY24. PAT has increased to Rs. 7.16cr in FY25 compared to Rs. 4.45cr in FY24 and Rs. 3.24cr in FY23. The tangible net worth of the company stood at 22.57cr in FY25 increased from Rs.10.41cr in FY24 and Rs. 5.95cr in FY23. The company raised its paid-up equity capital from Rs. 1.14cr in FY24 to Rs. 1.69cr in FY25. The TOL/TNW improved to 1.40x in FY25 compared to 1.78x in FY 24 and 2.85x in FY23. DSCR of the company stands at 3.01x in FY25, 3.00x in FY24. ISCR stands at 6.98x in FY25 compared to 4.69x in FY24. The stability and growth in the ISCR and DSCR shows the strength and ability of the company to repay their financial obligations.
The solar manufacturing market is highly competitive and rapidly evolving with participation from both established global and domestic manufacturers. The government's strong push for domestic solar module production is attracting new entrants and encouraging existing players to expand their capacities thereby intensifying competition within the domestic manufacturing landscape. Further, The idustry is exposed to technological obsolescence risk solar manufacturers are required to undertake continuous upgrades and related investments to sustain the competitive advantage.
The company is exposed to a high degree supplier concentration with the top 2 suppliers contributing 47.2% overall raw material purchases. Furthermore, the top two customers accounted for 29.66% of the total revenue of Rs. 109.19cr. This indicates a significant dependency on a limited suppliers and customer base exposing the company to concentration risk.
The company imports its key raw materials from Korea, Taiwan and China exposing it to significant foreign exchange risk and price volatility. Any adverse movement in currency exchange rates, changes in international trade policies, or geopolitical tensions may impact the cost of imports and overall profitability. Additionally, fluctuations in global raw material prices, particularly from a concentrated supplier base could adversely affect the company’s operating margins and supply chain stability.
