BRIGHTE GREEN 2021-1: Moody's Ups Rating on Class F-G Notes to Ba3
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Ratings has upgraded the ratings on three classes of notes
issued by Brighte Green Trust 2021-1.
The affected ratings are as follow:
Issuer: Brighte Green Trust 2021-1
Class C-G Notes, Upgraded to Aa3 (sf); previously on Sep 15, 2022
Upgraded to A1 (sf)
Class E-G Notes, Upgraded to Baa3 (sf); previously on Sep 15, 2022
Upgraded to Ba1 (sf)
Class F-G Notes, Upgraded to Ba3 (sf); previously on Sep 15, 2022
Upgraded to B1 (sf)
A comprehensive review of all credit ratings for the transaction
has been conducted during a rating committee.
RATINGS RATIONALE
The upgrade was prompted by an increase in note subordination
available for the affected notes and the good performance of the
underlying portfolio to date.
No action was taken on the remaining rated classes in the deal as
credit enhancement remain commensurate with the current rating for
the respective notes.
Following the February 2024 payment date, the note subordination
available for the Class C-G, Class E-G and Class F-G Notes has
increased to 14.3%, 5.2% and 2.9% respectively, from 11.8%, 3.5%
and 1.4% at the time of the last rating action for these notes in
September 2022.
As of end-January, 1.1% of the outstanding pool was 30-plus day
delinquent and 0.2% was 90-plus day delinquent. The portfolio has
incurred 0.5% (as a percentage of the original portfolio balance)
of net losses to date, all of which have been covered by excess
spread.
Based on the observed performance to date and loan attributes,
Moody's has lowered its expected default assumption to 3.25% as a
percentage of the outstanding pool balance (equivalent to 1.8% of
the original balance) from 3.4% of the outstanding pool balance
(equivalent to 2.2% of the original balance) at the time of the
last rating action for this deal in June 2023 . Moody's has also
lowered its portfolio credit enhancement assumption to 22% from 23%
at the last rating action.
The transaction is a securitisation of a portfolio of Australian
unsecured consumer, Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) and personal loan
receivables originated by Brighte Capital Pty Ltd.
The principal methodology used in these ratings was "Moody's
Approach to Rating Consumer Loan-Backed ABS" published in December
2022.
Factors that would lead to an upgrade or downgrade of the ratings:
Factors that could lead to an upgrade of the ratings include (1)
performance of the underlying collateral that is better than
Moody's expectations, and (2) an increase in credit enhancement
available for the notes.
Factors that could lead to a downgrade of the ratings include (1)
performance of the underlying collateral that is worse than Moody's
expectations, (2) a decrease in credit enhancement available for
the notes, and (3) a deterioration in the credit quality of the
transaction counterparties.

ESC GAMING: Sydney Restaurant Closes; Eight Staff to Lose Jobs
--------------------------------------------------------------
News.com.au reports that ESC Gaming Restaurant Sydney, a popular
Sydney restaurant, has broken its silence in the wake of news that
it is closing down.
Last week, news.com.au reported that Japanese gaming restaurant ESC
is shutting down permanently at the end of this month, on March
29.
The restaurant, located in Chatswood in Sydney's north, offered
private gaming rooms with PS5s and Nintendo switches.
In a statement to news.com.au, ESC's business owner said they had
no plans to place the company into liquidation.
The owner said there are currently eight staff employed who are all
set to lose their jobs when ESC closes its doors for good.
"Staff have been informed in mid February so they would have
sufficient time to search for new jobs, and we will continue to
provide any support as much as we can during the transition," the
owner said.
"We can tell you frankly and proudly that the business has not owed
any employee salary by using our personal funds to keep the
business running for the last two months."
News.com.au relates that ESC's owner also noted that there are no
outstanding debts to supplier as they have also been paying that
out of their own personal funds to keep the business debt-free.
The owner added that the restaurant and bar was shutting down
"partially" because of the economic slowdown hitting many
hospitality ventures but also "because of our own inefficacious
management that failed to sustain the business".
"As a retail business owner I have noticed that customers are now
more cautious on how to spend their money on dining and
entertainment," she added.
"We did receive quite some feedback regarding the pricing."
In a message to customers, ESC said they were shutting down the
restaurant "with a heavy heart," news.com.au relays.
According to news.com.au, the restaurant offered patrons 25 games
on the PS5 and 32 on the Nintendo including Super Smash Bros and
Mario Kart.
ESC had a slogan of "Eat, Play, Chill".
The business had nearly 9,000 followers on social media.
It appears that ESC had been in business for less than two years,
having launched at the end of 2022.
Its popular menu items included a deluxe sashimi platter, wagyu
skewers and a cheesy mashed potato volcano.
GDK GROUP: Debts Explode to AUD78 Million, Liquidators Reveal
-------------------------------------------------------------
News.com.au reports that the debts of a collapsed group of
manufacturing companies based out of a Western Sydney factory have
snowballed as liquidators wade through the mess.
In the past few months, 12 companies linked to Sydney-based cabinet
making and panelling factory GDK Group have gone into liquidation,
news.com.au says.
Some of these businesses were named after obscure Lord of the Rings
references, "confusing" some staff members and leaving them unaware
that some of the companies were in operation.
Four of those businesses now owe an eye-watering AUD48.7 million to
159 creditors, liquidators have just told news.com.au.
That is on top of AUD29.8 million that another company linked to
the group already owes.
As a result, the total debt figure of the GDK Group of companies
now stands at more than AUD78 million.
News.com.au understands GDK had a number of high profile jobs with
well-known companies, including supplying acoustic panelling to
Canberra's law courts, Sydney Dance Company and the Lyric Theatre,
and panelling to the NRMA's head office and Huawei's offices in
Sydney.
All of GDK's staff were brutally sacked right before Christmas,
leaving some in tears and many out of pocket.
Emotions ran high, with one worker telling news.com.au at the time
"it was very sad to see grown men crying".
The last remaining entity of the defunct business group, Joinery
Manufacturing Solutions Pty Ltd, was ordered into liquidation in
early February over a AUD315,000 tax debt.
Liquidators from insolvency firm RSM Australia were appointed to
wind up the business.
RSM Australia had previously been appointed to oversee the
liquidation of four other related companies - GDK Group Pty Ltd,
GDK Holdings Australia Pty Ltd, GDK Projects Pty Ltd and Belegaer
Pty Ltd - in December.
When they were first appointed, their initial estimates put the
debt of those four companies at AUD15 million.
But deeper investigations in the following months has seen that
figure explode by three times the original estimate to come in at
AUD48.7 million, news.com.au relays.
News.com.au relates that an RSM Australia spokesperson said they
had identified at least 50 staff owed money from unpaid employee
entitlements.
Tristana Steedman, of RSM, said she had referred the current and
former director of the business to the corporate regulator, ASIC,
for failing to comply with her demands.

CHINA VANKE: In Debt Swap Talks With Banks to Stave Off Default
---------------------------------------------------------------
Bloomberg News reports that China Vanke Co. is in talks with banks
on a debt swap that would help the cash-strapped developer stave
off its first-ever bond default, according to people familiar with
the matter.
According to Bloomberg, Vanke's major creditor banks are
considering a plan to swap bond holdings worth tens of billions of
yuan in principal into secured debt, the people said, asking not to
be identified discussing a private matter. The swap would help
China's second-largest real estate company avoid a public default
while giving banks collateral to protect against any potential
losses.
Bloomberg relates that the talks, coordinated by China's financial
regulators and the local government of Shenzhen, are ongoing and
the plan is subject to change, the people said.
Vanke's cash crunch has become a major focus for investors trying
to gauge how much help China's government and its banks will
provide to the nation's few remaining property giants to avoid
default, Bloomberg notes. Vanke's shares and bonds jumped on March
12 amid speculation authorities would support the company, which
had about US$181 billion of liabilities as of mid-2023.
Even after the rally, investors have significant doubts about the
developer's financial health, Bloomberg says. Vanke's longer-dated
dollar bonds are trading at distressed levels below 47 US cents on
the dollar, suggesting a high chance of default amid depressed
property sales and a wobbly Chinese economy. Moody's Ratings cut
the company's credit rating into junk territory on March 11.
Vanke is facing liquidity pressure on multiple fronts. Several
insurers are seeking to protect payments on private debt issued to
Vanke, Bloomberg notes. At least three such firms based in Beijing
sent executives to the company's headquarters in Shenzhen recently
to hammer out a plan, people familiar have said.
About China Vanke
China Vanke Co., Ltd. operates real estate development businesses.
The Company provides housing renovation, housing loans, real estate
brokerage, and other businesses. China Vanke also operates
logistics, material supply, and other businesses.
As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific in
mid-March 2024, Moody's Ratings has taken the following rating
actions on China Vanke Co., Ltd. and its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Vanke Real Estate (Hong Kong) Company Limited:
1. Withdrawn China Vanke's Baa3 issuer rating and assigned the
company a Ba1 corporate family rating (CFR);
2. Downgraded the backed senior unsecured rating on the medium-term
note (MTN) program of Vanke Real Estate to (P)Ba2 from (P)Ba1; and
3. Downgraded the backed senior unsecured rating on the bonds
issued by Vanke Real Estate to Ba2 from Ba1.
CHINA: Minister Says Developers in Crisis Must Declare Bankruptcy
-----------------------------------------------------------------
NewsBytes reports that China's housing minister, Ni Hong, has
announced that real estate developers facing severe insolvency must
declare bankruptcy and undergo restructuring.
This statement comes amid rumors of China easing its crackdown on
real estate sector debt.
Experts believe that Beijing's main focus is on ensuring the
completion of property projects rather than rescuing developers.
NewsBytes says the government's decision comes at a time when the
Asian giant's real estate sector, which is the biggest contributor
to its GDP, is battling a slowdown.
According to NewsBytes, Ni clarified that the Chinese government
will not bail out struggling property developers.
"Real-estate companies that are seriously insolvent and have lost
their operating capabilities must go bankrupt and be restructured
in accordance with the principles of the rule of law and
marketization," the minister stated.
This remark sheds light on Beijing's approach to tackling its
long-standing real estate crisis, NewsBytes notes.
Last month, it was reported that China's biggest private property
firm Country Garden Holdings is facing liquidation.
GUIRENNIAO CO: Delists Due to Too Low Share Price
-------------------------------------------------
Yicai Global reports that Guirenniao, a struggling Chinese
sportswear brand, was removed from the Shanghai Stock Exchange due
to its share price breaching the bourse rules.
Guirenniao closed below CNY1 (14 US cents) on Feb. 1 and failed to
recover by March 7, triggering the mandatory delisting condition,
it announced late on March 11, citing a notice issued by the SSE on
the same day, Yicai relays. It closed at 67 Chinese cents (9 US
cents) on its final trading day on March 7 with a market
capitalization of less than CNY1.1 billion (USD153.1 million).
Stocks should be booted from Chinese mainland exchanges if their
price stays below CNY1 for 20 straight trading days, according to
regulations.
Set up in 1987, Shanghai-based Guirenniao was once a well-known
sportswear brand that went public in 2014. However, because of
over-expanding after its listing, it had a net loss from 2018 to
2020, leading to a bankruptcy crisis.
Taifujingu Network Technology, a Heilongjiang province-based grain
giant, bought a 20 percent stake in Guirenniao for CNY417 million
(USD58 million) in April 2021 to help the sportswear firm complete
its bankruptcy reorganization while shifting its business focus to
grain trading from clothing, Yicai recalls.
Guirenniao swung into the black in 2021 with a net profit of CNY361
million but turned a loss of CNY9.4 million the next year.
According to a performance warning issued in January, its net loss
widened to CNY485 million in 2023, according to Yicai.
In addition to its poor performance, Guirenniao also faces
regulatory risks. In late February, the China Securities Regulatory
Commission probed its de facto controller and Chairman Li Zhihua,
who is also the owner of Taifujingu, for alleged information
disclosure violations.
Yicai adds that the SSE also issued a regulatory notice to
Guirenniao yesterday, requiring its major shareholders and
executives to continue to fulfill their previous commitments to
increase holdings and performance compensation after the company's
delisting. If they fail to do so within the time limit, the bourse
will punish the relevant responsible persons, it noted.
Guirenniao Co., Ltd. designs, manufactures, and sells apparels and
shoes. The Company produces skateboard shoes, basketball shoes,
running shoes, sports track suits, sports shirts, sports jackets,
and other products. Guirenniao also operates import and export
businesses.

FUNG CHEUNG: Owes HK$150MM, Trade Union Leader Says
---------------------------------------------------
South China Morning Post reports that a decades-old Hong Kong
construction company closed down owing HK$150 million (US$19
million) to subcontractors, suppliers and employees, a trade union
leader has said.
According to the report, Ryan Ng Wai-leung, rights and complaints
officer at the Hong Kong Construction Industry Employees General
Union, on March 7 said he had received inquiries from 40
subcontractors and suppliers after prominent contractor Fung Cheung
Kee entered liquidation last week.
More than 20 employees of the firm and 80 subcontractor-affiliated
workers had sought guidance on how to collect their unpaid wages
amounting to about HK$30 million, he added. The company was
estimated to have owed HK$120 million to subcontractors and
suppliers.
"The most unfortunate case we have heard of is a site manager,
hired by Fung Cheung Kee. He paid more than HK$200,000 upfront from
his pocket for urgent construction materials," Ng told a radio
programme, notes the report. "But the money cannot be compensated
by the Protection of Wages on Insolvency Fund and it may also be
challenging to claim it through the Small Claims Tribunal."
The Post relates that the union leader said it would be best if the
financially stable subcontractors paid the owed wages.
But if they faced financial difficulties as a result of the
incident, affected workers would have no choice but to file formal
claims through the Labour Department, he added.
The department said it was highly concerned about the impact of the
liquidation of Fung Cheung Kee on its workers, adding it would
proactively follow up with individual employees, the Post relays.
It added it had also obtained information on existing project
contracts and liaised with project owners to understand the salary
arrangements for subcontracted workers and provide help to affected
employees.
Established in 1980, Fung Cheung Kee was involved in a Mid-Levels
luxury flats project by Emperor International Holdings, the Mount
Pokfulam development, a residential block in Cheung Sha Wan, as
well as a one-storey structure at Discovery Bay on Lantau Island.
A second-tier subcontractor representative, surnamed Cheung, told
the same programme that Fung Cheung Kee had defaulted on project
fees over the past six to seven years, involving 17 construction
locations with a total amount of about HK$71 million, according to
the Post.
The subcontractor was responsible for fixing reinforcement,
erecting formboard and concreting at Fung Cheung Kee's sites.
"We have pursued the outstanding debts, but often the company will
not settle up the payments from previous projects before starting
new ones, resulting in the accumulation of more debt," the report
quotes Cheung as saying. "Even if they have new funds, they will
not."
While he acknowledged that such situations were common in the
industry, the subcontractor said he had been willing to continue
working with Fung Cheung Kee because of their 30-year relationship
when it had new funds and projects.
"Just like if you have eight lids for 10 pots, the pots will not
boil over immediately. That is how the debt keeps accumulating. We
never expected it to go into liquidation," Cheung, as cited by the
Post, said.
He added he had contacted the liquidator, who had indicated that
priority would be given to compensating the workers, followed by
addressing the secured loans.
"I believe the chances for us as second-tier subcontractors to
recover the outstanding debt are low," he said. "I hope the
government will investigate whether there has been any capital
outflow from Fung Cheung Kee. In the long term, authorities need to
enhance the financial transparency of major contractors."
Cheung Kee Fung Cheung Construction Co Ltd was founded in 1980. The
company's line of business includes providing special trade
contracting services.

FUJIN WIND: CARE Keeps D Debt Rating in Not Cooperating Category
----------------------------------------------------------------
CARE Ratings said the rating for the bank facilities of Fujin Wind
Parks Private Limited (FWPPL) continues to remain in the 'Issuer
Not Cooperating' category.
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Long Term Bank 296.00 CARE D; ISSUER NOT COOPERATING
Facilities Rating continues to remain
under ISSUER NOT COOPERATING
category
Rationale and key rating drivers
CARE Ratings Ltd. had, vide its press release dated January 4,
2023, placed the rating(s) of FWPPL under the 'issuer
non-cooperating' category as FWPPL had failed to provide
information for monitoring of the rating and had not paid the
surveillance fees for the rating exercise as agreed to in its
Rating Agreement. FWPPL continues to be noncooperative despite
repeated requests for submission of information through e-mails,
phone calls and a letter/email dated November 20, 2023, November
30, 2023, December 10, 2023.
In line with the extant SEBI guidelines, CARE Ratings Ltd. has
reviewed the rating on the basis of the best available information
which however, in CARE Ratings Ltd.'s opinion is not sufficient to
arrive at a fair rating.
Users of this rating (including investors, lenders and the public
at large) are hence requested to exercise caution while using the
above rating(s).
Incorporated in September 2011, Fujin Wind Parks Private Limited
(FWPPL) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ecoren One Wind Energy
Private Limited (EOW) which is part of Ecoren Energy India Private
Limited. EOW is a Joint Venture (JV) between Ecoren and GE
Affiliate; Guayama P.R. Holdings BV (Guayama) in the ratio of
51:49. EOW was incorporated on July 1, 2015 and is an investment
holding company for the Independent Power Producer (IPP) executed
under the JV. Guayama is a 100% subsidiary of GE Capital
International Holdings Limited whose ultimate holding company is

GALAXY STONEMART: CARE Keeps B- Rating in Not Cooperating Category
------------------------------------------------------------------
CARE Ratings said the rating for the bank facilities of Galaxy
Stonemart Private Limited (GSPL) continues to remain in the 'Issuer
Not Cooperating' category.
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Long Term Bank 3.00 CARE B-; Stable; ISSUER NOT
Facilities COOPERATING; Rating continues
to remain under ISSUER NOT
COOPERATING category
Rationale and key rating drivers
GSPL has not paid the surveillance fees for the rating exercise as
agreed to in its Rating Agreement. In line with extent SEBI
guidelines, CARE Ratings Ltd.'s ratings on Galaxy Stonemart Private
Limited's bank facilities will now be denoted as CARE B-; Stable;
ISSUER NOT COOPERATING.
Users of this rating (including investors, lenders and the public
at large) are hence requested to exercise caution while using the
above rating.
The ratings assigned to the bank facilities of Galaxy Stonemart
Private Limited (GSPL) continues to remain constrained on account
of small scale of operations with net loss as well as cash loss,
leveraged capital structure and weak debt coverage during FY23
(April 1 to March 31). The ratings further remained constrained on
account of presence in a highly competitive stone industry with
linkage to cyclical real estate sector, vulnerability of margins to
fluctuation in raw material prices and foreign exchange rates and
easy availability of substitute products. However, the rating
derives benefit from experienced management.
Analytical approach: Standalone
Outlook: Stable
Detailed description of the key rating drivers:
At the time of last rating on February 16, 2023 following were the
rating strengths and weaknesses (updated from information available
from client).
Key Weaknesses
* Small scale of operations with net loss as well as cash loss:
During FY23, the scale of operation marked by total operating
income (TOI) of the company reported growth of 20.96% but
remained small at INR5.01 crore as against INR4.14 crore during
FY22. The improvement was on account of higher demand of the
company's products. Further, due to higher material costs, the
company's PBILDT margin has declined and remained at 7.62% during
FY23 as against 17.96% during FY22. Moreover, due to high interest
on unsecured loans during FY23, the company has continued to report
net loss of INR2.40 crore as against loss of INR1.12 crore during
FY22. Resultantly, the company has reported cash loss of INR2.11
crore during FY23 as against loss of INR0.82 crore during FY22.
Additionally, during 9MFY24(Prov), the company has achieved TOI of
INR3.15 crore with PBILDT of INR0.65 crore.
* Leveraged capital structure and weak debt coverage indicators:
The company has continually reported losses for five out of the
past six years thereby resulting in erosion of its networth base.
Consequently, the capital structure of the company stood highly
leveraged marked by negative overall gearing ratio. Further, debt
coverage indicators of the company also stood weak owing to
reporting cash losses and negligible operating profitability marked
by negative total debt to GCA and below unity interest coverage.
However, promoters of the company are resourceful enough and
infused funds in form of unsecured loan in the business on regular
basis to meet its working capital need as well as repayment
obligation. During FY23, promoters have infused INR10.59 crore in
the form of Unsecured loans in the company.
* Vulnerability of margins to fluctuation in raw material prices
and easy availability of substitute products: The major raw
material required by GSPL is natural stones. The profitability of
the company is vulnerable to any adverse movement in raw material
prices as the company will not be able to pass on the any increase
in prices to its customers. Furthermore, there are various
substitute products which are easily available in the market and
GSPL faces competition from same.
* Presence in a highly competitive stone industry with linkage to
cyclical real estate sector: GSPL functions in a highly fragmented
industry with presence of large number of organized and unorganized
players. The entry barriers to the industry are very low and the
operating margin is susceptible to new capacity additions in the
industry. The industry is primarily dependent upon demand from real
estate and construction sector across the globe. The real estate
industry is cyclical in nature and is exposed to various external
factors like the disposable income, interest rate scenario, etc.
Key strengths
* Experienced Management: Mr Daulat Daga, Director, is post
graduate by qualification and has around 30 years of experience in
same line of business. He looks after finance function of the
company. Mr Kailash Kumar Daga, director, is post graduate by
qualification and looks after marketing function of the company. He
has more than 25 years of experience in same line of business. Mr
Pratap Daga and Mr Abhineet Daga have more than 25 years of
experience and look after purchase, production, and marketing
function of the company. However, promoters of the company are
resourceful enough and infused funds in form of unsecured loan in
the business on regular basis to meet its working capital need as
well as repayment obligation. During FY23, promoters have infused
INR10.59 crore in the form of Unsecured loans in the company.
Galaxy Stonemart Private Limited (GSPL) was incorporated in 2004 by
Mr Daulat Daga along with his family members. GSPL is engaged in
the business of processing of natural stones at its plant located
at Shivdaspura, Jaipur having total installed capacity of one lakh
square feet per Month to process natural stones. It procures marble
slabs and stones from Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh and after
processing (cutting and polishing) in plant sell its products in
domestic markets. GSPL is also engaged in the business of trading
of tiles and hydromx.

GREENKO ENERGY: Moody's Affrims 'Ba2' CFR, Alters Outlook to Neg.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Ratings has affirmed Greenko Energy Holdings (GEH)'s Ba2
corporate family rating and the Ba2 backed senior unsecured ratings
for Greenko Dutch B.V. (GDBV), Greenko Power II Limited (GPII),
Greenko Solar (Mauritius) Limited (GSML), Greenko Wind Projects
(Mauritius) Ltd (GWPM) and Greenko Mauritius (GM). Moody's has
changed the outlook to negative from stable.
RATINGS RATIONALE
The change in outlook to negative reflects the near-term weakening
of GEH's standalone credit quality, due to concurrent large scale
capital expenditure projects which are currently being, or will be,
undertaken by GEH, such as several pumped hydro storage projects
(PHSPs) and the latest announced acquisition of a large hydropower
project. Although GEH has a track record of execution, these
projects will generate cashflow with a lag due to complexity. This
rating action follows GEH's announcement to acquire a 60.08% equity
stake in in Sikkim Urja Limited (SUL) that owns and operates a
1,200 megawatt (MW) Teesta III hydropower project in the state of
Sikkim, India.
Teesta III's rock-filled dam experienced a breach due to a flash
flood triggered by a cloudburst in October 2023, leading to a
suspension of its power generation activities. After the
acquisition, GEH expects a 12-18 month timeframe to construct a
cofferdam, a temporary structure that allows the work to continue
on the main dam, and restart power production at the Teesta III
project to 60% of its typical plant loading factor (PLF) level.
While PLF is maintained at this 60% level, repair work on the main
dam will be conducted concurrently, until the dam is fully
operational again.
GEH expects a completion period of two to three months for the
proposed acquisition, contingent upon meeting several
preconditions. These include the successful completion of necessary
documentation, obtaining regulatory and lender approvals, and
more.
"Moody's expect the acquisition cost, as well as a capital
expenditure of USD300-400 million to restore Teesta III's
operations, to be funded through a combination of equity,
incremental debt and insurance proceeds. The increased financial
leverage, coupled with interest costs, is poised to adversely
impact GEH's financial metrics during periods when Teesta III is
not generating cash flow," says Erman Zhang, a Moody's Analyst.
In addition to the capital expenditure for the Teesta III
acquisition and restoration, GEH has a significant capital spending
program, primarily for PHSPs, which is largely debt-financed. This
sizable capital spending program will also weigh on GEH's
already-weak financial metrics amid the high interest rate
environment. As a result, Moody's expects GEH's funds from
operations (FFO)/debt to be close to, or below zero over the next
12-18 months. The financial metrics have also factored in the GEH's
updated business strategy to develop on its own the input solar
capacity required to service the 900MW Solar Energy Corporation of
India (SECI) peak power contract of its first PHSP in Andhra
Pradesh, India.
GEH's standalone credit quality continues to reflect its diverse
portfolio of operating renewable energy assets backed by long-term
contracts, track record and large operating scale. GEH's PHSPs will
further enhance its portfolio diversification once completed, which
help mitigate the resource risk from seasonal variability of
renewable resources and exposure to off-takers' weak financial
profiles.
GEH's Ba2 CFR incorporates two notches of uplift stemming from
likely shareholder support, which is underpinned by the very strong
credit quality of, and strategic oversight by, the majority
shareholder, GIC Private Limited (GIC), a sovereign wealth fund of
the Government of Singapore (Aaa stable). Moody's expects GIC to
continue to support GEH's growth strategy based on the unique
importance of its investment in GEH. The control exercised by the
majority shareholder that has a very strong credit profile enhances
GEH's credit quality.
ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE (ESG) CONSIDERATIONS
ESG attributes have a moderately negative credit impact on GEH's
current rating, primarily due to environmental challenges,
specifically, the company's increased vulnerability to physical
climate risk following the acquisition of Teesta III, given
increased exposure to flood risks arising from glacier melting and
heavy rainfall.
FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS
The negative outlook reflects Moody's expectation that GEH's
financial metrics will weaken over next 12-18 months and its
Moody's-adjusted debt will remain elevated for the current rating
over the same period. The negative outlook also factors in the
uncertainties surrounding the timeline of Teesta III's restoration
and potential execution risks associated with PHSP projects.
Moody's could revise the outlook back to stable if the capital
programme progresses without cost or time overruns. For example,
the restoration of Teesta III progresses within budget, such that
it is on track for completion within the scheduled timeline; and
the PHSP projects proceed as expected. Such progress should result
in FFO/debt returning to above 1% within the next 12-18 months.
Although currently unlikely given the company's negative outlook,
upward rating momentum could develop if GEH maintains a higher
consolidated FFO/debt of above 3%-4% on a sustained basis or if
Moody's assesses that shareholder support is likely to be
materially stronger than the agency's current assumption.
Moody's could downgrade the ratings due to (1) weak operational
performance, a delay in Teesta III restoration, crystallization of
execution or other risks in relation to PHSPs, or more aggressive
acquisitions and capital spending would result in projected
FFO/debt staying below 1% until FY2026; or (2) support from GEH's
shareholders weakens, as reflected by a significant decrease in
GIC's ownership or a more-than-expected increase in debt leverage
without new equity capital.

JASBIR SINGH: CRISIL Keeps B Debt Ratings in Not Cooperating

with the suffix 'ISSUER NOT COOPERATING' as the rating is arrived
at without any management interaction and is based on best
available or limited or dated information on the company. Such non

SHARIKA ENTERPRISES: CARE Assigns B Rating to INR7.80cr LT Loan
---------------------------------------------------------------
CARE Ratings has assigned the ratings on certain bank facilities of
Sharika Enterprises Limited (SEL), as:
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Long Term Bank 7.80 CARE B; Stable Assigned
Facilities
Long Term/Short 2.20 CARE B; Stable/CARE A4;
Term Bank Assigned
Facilities
Short Term 10.00 CARE A4; Assigned
Bank Facilities
Rationale and key rating drivers
The ratings assigned to the bank facilities of SEL are primarily
constrained by its small and fluctuating scale of operations
coupled with losses in FY23, weak debt coverage indicators,
elongated operating cycle, low and concentrated order book
position. Further, the ratings are also constrained by risk
associated with project execution risk inherent in various
infrastructure projects and its presence in a highly competitive
industry with business risk associated with tender-based orders.
The ratings, however, draw comfort from the experienced management
coupled with long track record of operations and comfortable
capital structure.
Rating sensitivities: Factors likely to lead to rating actions
Positive factors
* Improvement in scale of operations as marked by total operating
income of above INR80.00 crore by timely execution of projects in
hand and improvement in the order book position to more than 2.00x
of previous year turnover.
* Improvement in profitability margins as marked by PBILDT margin
above 5.00% on sustained basis.
* Improvement in the collection period of the company for less than
100 days.
Negative factors
* Deterioration in the capital structure as marked by overall
gearing ratio of above 1.20x.
* Continued significant losses incurred by the company putting
further stress on the liquidity position of the company.
Analytical approach: Standalone
Outlook: Stable
The "Stable" outlook reflects that the entity will continue to
benefit from the experience of the promoters in the industry along
with its established track record of operations.
Detailed description of the key rating drivers:
Key weaknesses
* Small and fluctuating scale of operations coupled with losses in
FY23: SEL's scale of operations stood small as evident from total
operating income (TOI) of INR50.40 crore and cash losses of
INR(2.65) crore respectively, during FY23 (FY refers to the period
April 1 to March 31). Nevertheless, the scale remains small, it
limits the company's financial flexibility in times of stress and
deprives it of scale benefits. Moreover, SEL's scale of operations
remained fluctuating for the period FY21-FY23 (refers to the period
April 1 to March 31). TOI declined in FY22 over FY21 and thereafter
registered improvement in FY23. The same was on account of higher
execution of contracts. Further the company has incurred net losses
of INR(3.07) crore in FY23 due to written
off obsolete inventory and bad debts to the tune of INR3.96 crore.
Furthermore, the company has achieved total operating income of
INR49.07 crore and incurred net losses of INR(5.96) crore during
9MFY24 (refers to the period from April 1, 2023 to December 31,
2023; based on unaudited results) and is expected to clocked
revenue of ~INR80.00 crore in FY24 owing to major billing and
revenue generation gets done in the last quarter of year.
* Weak debt coverage indicators: SEL has weak debt coverage
indicators owing to cash losses incurred in FY23. The debt coverage
indicators of the company as marked by interest coverage ratio and
total debt to GCA is expected to remain weak over the medium term.
* Elongated operating cycle: The operations of the company stood
elongated to 186 days for FY23 as against 183 days for FY22 with
majority of funds blocked with debtors leading to elongated
collection period. The company raises bills on milestone basis i.e.
on the completion of certain percentage of work i.e. 70% against
the supply of material, 10% at the time of erection, 10% after
testing & commissioning and rest 10% is kept as retention money and
thereon which gets acknowledged by customer after necessary
inspection of work done by the respective departments. Post
inspection, the department clears the payment within 5-6 months
(maximum) by deducting certain percentage of bill raised (10% of
bill amount) to be held for the warranty period in
the form of retention money (usually upto 5 years), which can be
released after submission of bank guarantee. Furthermore, there is
normally a procedural delay in relation being customers are
primarily government departments/public sector undertakings.
Moreover, major portion of contracts are executed in the last
quarter of financial year and hence, the bills raised mostly gets
realized in the first quarter of the next financial year. Thus, the
average collection period stood at 185 days for FY23.
The inventory is in the form of raw materials and work in progress
at different sites on account of procedural delays involved in the
certifications/validation of the invoices for the contracts
executed resulting in an average inventory holding period of 74
days for FY23. Further, owing to long standing presence in the
industry, the company receives an average credit period of around
2-3 months from its suppliers resulting in an average creditor's
period of around 72 days for FY23. The average utilization of
fundbased working capital limits remained almost 85% utilized for
past 12 months ending February, 2024.
* Low and concentrated order book position: SEL has low unexecuted
order book position of ~INR38.73 crore as on September 30, 2023
which is equivalent to ~0.77x the total operating income achieved
in FY23, thereby reflecting short-term revenue visibility in the
near term. Further, the present entire unexecuted order book is
concentrated ~76.61% towards contracts LS Cable India Private
Limited. Thus, the company is exposed to risk of any unfavourable
changes in the policies towards award of new contracts by LS Cable
India Private Limited. Furthermore, the effective and timely
execution of the orders has a direct bearing on the total income
and margins of the company.
* Project execution risk inherent in various infrastructure
projects: Given the nature of projects awarded, SEL is exposed to
inherent risk in terms of delays in certain projects undertaken by
the company due to delay in approvals and sanction from regulatory
bodies thus exposing SEL towards the risk of delay in projects
resulting in a delay in the realization of revenue growth.
Further, the company's ability to execute a project in timely
manner would be led by its own operational efficiency and timely
stage payments received from its clients which are crucial from
credit prospective.
* Highly competitive industry with business risk associated with
tender-based orders: SEL operates in a highly competitive industry
wherein it faces direct competition from various organized and
unorganized players in the market given the low barriers to entry.
There are number of small and regional players catering to the same
market which has limited the bargaining power of the company and
has exerted pressure on its margins. Further, the company majorly
undertakes government and private projects, which are awarded
through the tender-based/bidding system. This exposes the company
towards risk associated with the tender-based business, which is
characterized by intense competition. The growth of the business
depends on its ability to successfully bid for the tenders and
emerge as the lowest bidder. This apart, any changes in the
government policy or government spending on projects are likely to
affect the revenues and profits of the company.
Key strengths
* Experienced management coupled with long track record of
operations: SEL is currently being managed by Mr. Rajinder Kaul and
Mr. Sanjay Verma. Mr. Rajinder Kaul (Managing Director) has done
B.Tech and M.B.A. He holds experience of more than three decades in
varied sectors such EPC business, power generation, transmission
and distribution sector through his association with this entity
and in individual capacity. Before that, he was associated with the
companies namely; "Cable Corporation of India Limited" and
"Schneider Electric India Private Limited" at a managerial
position. The other director; Mr. Sanjay Verma holds experience of
more than two decades in EPC business through his association with
this entity. Further, SEL is also supported by a team of qualified
engineers, supervisory staff and technical team to work on various
sites having relevant experience in their respective fields. The
company is having a considerable track record in this business
which has given them an understanding of the dynamics of the market
and enabled them to establish a long-term relationship with both
suppliers and customers.
* Comfortable capital structure: The capital structure of the
company stood comfortable as on the past three balance sheet dates
ending March 31, '21-'23 on account of comfortable net worth base
against the limited debt levels. The overall gearing ratio
moderated though stood comfortable at 0.50x as on March 31, 2023 as
against 0.49x as on March 31, 2022 primarily on account of erosion
of net worth base owing to losses incurred by the company. Further,
the capital structure is expected to remain comfortable at below
unity level as envisage in the near to medium term on account of
limited debt levels coupled with comfortable tangible net worth
base.
Liquidity: Stretched
The liquidity position of the company remained stretched
characterized by high average utilization of its working capital
limits which stood ~85% for the past 12 month's period ending
February, 2024 along with elongated collection period due to delay
in the realization from the various government departments.
Further, the company has low free cash & bank balances which stood
at INR0.22 crore as on September 30, 2023. Moreover, the company
has incurred cash losses to the extent of INR(2.65) crore during
FY23 and INR(5.49) crore in 9MFY24. However, the company has
positive cash flow from operations to the tune of INR4.02 crore as
on March 31, 2023 to support the short-term liquidity. Further, it
is expected to generate net cash accruals (NCA) of
INR1.50 crore for FY24 against repayment obligations of INR1.97
crore. The promoters will also infuse funds to support the
liquidity of the company as per requirement. In FY24, the
promoters, liquidated one of the properties to the tune of INR4.75
crore and the same is being used for the debt repayment
obligations.

SIDDHIVINAYAK SALES: CRISIL Keeps B Rating in Not Cooperating
-------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL Ratings said the rating on bank facilities of Shree

continues to be 'CRISIL B/Stable Issuer Not Cooperating'.
Amount
Facilities (INR Crore) Ratings

CRISIL Ratings has been consistently following up with SSSC for
obtaining information through letter and email dated February 15,
2024 among others, apart from telephonic communication. However,
the issuer has remained non cooperative.
'The investors, lenders and all other market participants should
exercise due caution with reference to the rating assigned/reviewed
with the suffix 'ISSUER NOT COOPERATING' as the rating is arrived
at without any management interaction and is based on best
available or limited or dated information on the company. Such non
co-operation by a rated entity may be a result of deterioration in
its credit risk profile. These ratings with 'ISSUER NOT
COOPERATING' suffix lack a forward looking component.'
Detailed Rationale
Despite repeated attempts to engage with the management, CRISIL
Ratings failed to receive any information on either the financial
performance or strategic intent of SSSC, which restricts CRISIL
Ratings' ability to take a forward looking view on the entity's
credit quality. CRISIL Ratings believes that rating action on SSSC
is consistent with 'Assessing Information Adequacy Risk'. Based on
the last available information, the ratings on bank facilities of
SSSC continues to be 'CRISIL B/Stable Issuer Not Cooperating'.
For arriving at the rating, CRISIL Ratings has combined the
business and financial risk profiles of SSSC and Rajesh Steel and
Wire Industries (RSWI, rated 'CRISIL BB/Stable') collectively
referred to as the Bajoria group. Both the firms are in a similar

SNEHANJALI SB: Admitted Under Insolvency; IRP Appointed
-------------------------------------------------------
Livemint reports that the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) has
admitted real estate developer Snehanjali S. B. Developers Pvt Ltd
for insolvency. The tribunal has appointed Dinesh Kumar Deora as
the interim resolution professional for the company.
Snehanjali's promoters - Jagdish and Gautam Ahuja - have been under
the scanner of various police and investigating agencies for
allegedly cheating more than 1,000 homebuyers, according to
Livemint.
A plea was filed by nearly 67 prospective homebuyers, who as
financial creditors dragged the realtor to the dedicated bankruptcy
tribunal. Under the 2018 amendment to the Insolvency and Bankruptcy
Code, homebuyers have been given the stature of financial
creditors.
"The default has occurred on part of the corporate debtor
(Snehanjali) due to non-fulfilment of its obligations under the
sale agreements executed with the financial creditors. Hence, it is
found to be a fit case for directing initiation of CIRP in respect
of the corporate debtor", a bench led by justices K R Sajikumar and
Sanjiv Dutt said, Livemint relays.
Incorporated in 2019, the developer was earlier under a partnership
with S.B. Developers.
In 2015, Snehanjali started collecting money from home buyers
against booking of flats/units in respect of a redevelopment
project (O2 Project) located on Sion-Chembur Road, Mumbai. It
issued letters of allotment and also entered into agreements for
sale in favour of the home buyers from time to time.
Thereafter, the project was to be completed initially by June,
2019. However, the real estate developer was unable to complete the
project till June, 2023. The developer neither handed over
possession of the respective flats/units to the home buyers nor
refunded the amounts with interest. Aggrieved by the situation an
appeal was lodged by them seeking initiation of insolvency
proeedings against the company.
Livemint say the homebuyers submitted that collectively they had
invested more than INR81 crore in the project which was duly
acknowledged by the developer. The timelines were extended from
2019 to 2023; however, despite indefinite extensions the project
remains to be completed, they added. July 2023 was set as the date
of default in the application.
ST PETERS: CRISIL Raises Rating on INR12.36cr Loan to B+
--------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL Ratings has upgraded its rating on the long-term bank
facilities of St Peters Institute of Higher Education and Research
(SPIHER) to 'CRISIL B+/Stable' from 'CRISIL B/Stable'. The short
term rating has been reaffirmed at 'CRISIL A4'.
Amount
Facilities (INR Crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Bank Guarantee 5.50 CRISIL A4 (Reaffirmed)
Overdraft Facility 12.36 CRISIL B+/Stable (Upgraded
from 'CRISIL B/Stable')
Term Loan 157.43 CRISIL A4 (Reaffirmed)
Term Loan 108.71 CRISIL A4 (Reaffirmed)
The upgrade in the rating reflects the improving business risk
profile, with improving occupancy levels. The institute has
reported about INR68 crore in fiscal 2023 and about INR48.55 crore
revenue up to Q3 of fiscal 2024 and the revenues are estimated to
be over INR100 crore for the current fiscal, supported by the
revenues from the new hospital as well as the existing courses. The
financial risk profile continues to remain moderate. Further, the
upgrade also reflects the track record of timely repayment of debt
for over 6 months owing to an improved liquidity profile.
The rating continues to reflect SPIHER's modest scale of operations
amidst intense competition from other institutions, geographical
concentration in revenue and vulnerability to regulatory risks
associated with educational institutions. These weaknesses are
partially offset by the established market position in the
education sector, with diversified revenue streams.
Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Weaknesses:
* Moderate scale of operations amidst intense competition from
other institutions: Moderate scale of operations as reflected by
the revenues of INR68 crore in fiscal 2023. Exposure to intense
competition given the huge number of players in the education
sector coupled with exposure to regulations constrains scale up of
operations. The occupancy is also at a moderate level at about 75%
on average in current fiscal. The improvement in revenues,
supported by higher occupancy levels will remain a key
monitorable.
* Geographical concentration in revenues: SPIHER derives its
revenues from its colleges and hospital, all in Tamil Nadu. This
leads to geographic concentration in revenues. Sustained inflow of
students will depend on the ability to offer quality education
through continuous infrastructure development and by recruiting and
retaining good faculty.
* Vulnerability to regulatory risks associated with educational
institutions: The courses must comply with operational and
infrastructure norms set by regulatory bodies. Society may need to
regularly invest in its workforce and infrastructure to comply with
the norms. Any non-compliance will result in withdrawal of the
required status and affiliation, affecting operations and revenue.
Strengths:
* Average financial risk profile: The financial risk profile is
average marked by net worth at INR139.42 crores and gearing at 1.32
times as on March 31, 2023. The debt protection metrics continue to
remain moderate as reflected by the interest coverage and NCATD at
over 1.79 times and 0.08 times in fiscal 2023.
* Established market position in the education sector, with
diversified revenue streams: The trustees have an experience of
over 3 decades in education services industry. This has given them
an understanding of the dynamics of the market and helped the trust
to set up the institutes in Tamil Nadu and ramp up operations
quickly. Good reputation in and around the region has helped the
university to achieve a healthy occupancy ratio, supported by
diversified revenue streams and addition of courses.
Liquidity: Stretched
Bank limit utilisation is moderate at around 38.5 percent for the
past twelve months ended December 2023. Cash accruals are expected
to be over INR16-36 crores, which are sufficient against term debt
obligation of INR6-30 crores over the medium term. In addition, it
will act as a cushion to the liquidity of the company. Moderate
cash and bank balance of around INR48.54 crores as on March 31,
2023. The institute has about INR5.5 crore of free fixed deposits
that supports the liquidity profile. The sustenance of the same
will remain a key monitorable. They have also created a DSRA of
INR6 crore (3 months) for one term loan (INR163 crore), in Oct
2023. Further, another DSRA is expected to be created for the other
term loan (INR108 crore) by July 2024.
Outlook: Stable
CRISIL Ratings believes SPIHER will continue to benefit over the
medium term from its established position & management extensive
experience in the sector.
Rating Sensitivity Factors
Upward factors
* Improvement in the financial risk profile with better liquidity.
* Sustained improvement in revenues, with growth of over 20%,
driven by improved occupancy levels in the key courses and healthy
occupancy of the hospital, with margins over 40%, leading to higher
cash accruals.
Downward factors
* Decline in revenues by over 20% or dip in profitability below
37%, leading to lower cash accruals.
* Any large debt funded capex weakening the financial and liquidity
profile.
Registered as charitable trust in 1992 and later become private
deemed to be university in 2008. The institution is engaged in
providing education in engineering, technology, architecture,
management studies, science and humanities programmes which are
approved by UGC and AICTE. It has campus near Paruthipattu in
Tiruvallur district-Tamil Nadu.
SPIHER is promoted by Mr. M. Thambidurai and managed by his wife
and recently set up 750 bedded medical college cum teaching
hospital with super speciality department at Hosur in two phases.

SUVARNA LAKSHMI: ICRA Keeps B+ Debt Ratings in Not Cooperating
--------------------------------------------------------------
ICRA has kept the Long-term rating of Suvarna Lakshmi Jewellers
(SLJ) in the 'Issuer Not Cooperating' category. The rating is
denoted as "[ICRA]B+(Stable); ISSUER NOT COOPERATING".
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings

As part of its process and in accordance with its rating agreement
with SLJ, ICRA has been trying to seek information from the entity
so as to monitor its performance. Further, ICRA has been sending
repeated reminders to the entity for payment of surveillance fee
that became due. Despite multiple requests by ICRA, the entity's
management has remained non-cooperative. In the absence of
requisite information and in line with the aforesaid policy of

UNITED CAPZ: CARE Lowers Rating on INR17.26cr LT Loan to B
----------------------------------------------------------
CARE Ratings has revised the ratings on certain bank facilities of
United Capz Private Limited (UCPL), as:
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Long Term Bank 17.26 CARE B; Stable Revised from
Facilities CARE B+; Stable
Rationale and key rating drivers
The revision in the rating assigned to the bank facilities of UCPL
is primary on account decrease in scale of operation with net
losses reported during FY23 (refers to period from April 1 to March
31) and 9MFY24 (Prov) along with deterioration in capital structure
as well as debt coverage indicators and stretched liquidity. The
ratings are further constrained on account of the company's small
scale of operation, presence in highly fragmented and competitive
nature of industry and exposure to government regulations.
The ratings, however, derive comfort from the experience of its
promoters in diversified industries as well as the strategic
location of the company's operations.
Rating sensitivities: Factors likely to lead to rating actions
Positive factors
* Improvement in scale of operations with TOI of more than INR60
crore on sustained basis with sustaining profitability marked by
PBILDT margin of more than 15%
* Improvement in solvency position marked by overall gearing of
around 2 times
Negative Factor
* Any major debt funded capex adversely affecting the capital
structure and debt coverage indicators
* Any further deterioration in cash accruals putting stress on
liquidity
Analytical approach: Standalone
Outlook: Stable
The 'Stable' outlook on the ratings of UCPL reflects CARE's belief
that UCPL shall sustain its modest financial risk profile in medium
term.
Detailed description of the key rating drivers
Key Weaknesses
* Decrease in scale of operations coupled with loss in FY23 and
9MFY24: In FY23, UCPL's TOI witnessed a degrowth of 29% to INR36.54
crores in FY23 from INR51.71 crore in FY22, primarily driven by a
combination of dip in market prices of capsules as well as supply
surplus. For 9MFY24, UCPL has clocked sales worth INR18.66 crore
and expects a final revenue of INR25.00 crores by end of March
2024. Further, in FY23, the cost of sales increased to 72.33% of
total revenue from 67% in FY22, as the price of key raw materials
such gelatine witnessed an upsurge. Thus, a combination of reduces
sales and high raw material prices impacted the profit margins of
the company which came down to 11.24% during FY23 compared to
32.85% during FY22. Further, owing proportionately high interest
and depreciation costs, UCPL reported a net loss of INR3.48 crore
vis-à-vis a net profit of INR8.59 crore during FY22.
* Deterioration in capital structure and debt coverage indicators:
Due to accretion of losses to reserves, UCPL's networth base
deteriorated and stood at INR2.41 crore as on March 31, 2023. This
weakened the company's capital structure thus remaining highly
leveraged as marked by an overall gearing of 13.22x as on March 31,
2023 compared to 5.83x as on March 31, 2022. Further, owing to
decline in operating profitability and high interest costs, UCPL's
debt coverage indicator also deteriorated and remained weak as
marked by an interest coverage of 1.85x during FY23 compared to
7.28x during FY22. Additionally, high overall debt coupled with a
decline in cash profit (GCA) meant that TD/GCA stood high at 14.85
years as on March 31, 2023 compared to 2.26 years as on March 31,
2022.
* Presence in highly fragmented and competitive nature of industry
and exposure to government regulations: UCPL is engaged in the
manufacturing of vide variety of gelatine and cellulose based
capsule shells which serve as raw material (excipient) for
pharmaceutical and food supplement industry. The industry is
characterized by a high level of competition having presence of a
large number of small and big players. All the products and
companies of pharmaceutical industry are regulated by several
policies and bodies in terms of pricing, quality control, safety,
health standards, several other certifications, control standards.
Also, APIs, excipients (e.g., shell capsules) and other
pharmaceutical products have to maintain compliance with regulatory
policies of each export destination like the US FDA, EUGMP etc. in
order to sustain sales. UCPL, being present in the highly regulated
industry is susceptible to any adverse change in the Government
policy regarding the same.
Key Strengths
* Experienced promoters in diversified industries: UCPL was
initially promoted by Late Mr. Dahyabhai, Mr. Mahesh Panchal and
Mr. Rakesh Dahanuwala. Mr. Mahesh Panchal resigned as director and
Mr. Bhavesh Dahanuwala and Ms. Jagruti Patel appointed as director
of UCPL in 2018. Late Mr. Dahyabhai Patel was one of the founders
of Daman Industries Associations (DIA). He was the president of DIA
and interacted will all the government authorities for various
issues concerning the industries, while overall operations of UCPL
are managed by Mr. Rakesh and Mr. Bhavesh, who have an average
experience of over decade and half years of handling various
industries at executive level.
* Location advantage due to cluster presence: The manufacturing
facility of UCPL is in Valsad (Gujarat) which is one of the largest
pharmaceutical clusters in India. The primary raw material i.e.,
gelatine, water and food colour are easily available from Gujarat
and Maharashtra. Other reasons include easy availability of labour
as well as accessibility of water and power.
Liquidity: Stretched
UCPL's liquidity remained stretched marked by full utilization of
its working capital limits for the past 12 month as on February 29,
2024. Additionally, the company has also availed ad-hoc limits
during past one year to fund its working capital requirements. The
company continued operate with a negative working capital cycle for
FY23 as it delayed payments to its suppliers which lead to an
increase in creditor days from 121 days during FY22 to 164 days.
Unencumbered cash and bank balance remained low at INR0.01 crore as
on March 31, 2023 whereas its current ratio also slipped below
unity at 0.28 times as on March 31, 2023. Further, net cash flow
from operations stood positive although declined to INR5.02 crore
during FY23 (P.Y.: INR17.31 crore) owing to decline in revenue
compared to during FY22. Further, its cash accruals are expected to
remain tightly matched to meet its gross loan repayments worth
INR3.24 crore for FY24.
Thane-based (Maharashtra) UCPL was incorporated on October 8, 2015
as a private limited company by Late Mr. Dahyabhai Patel, Mr.
Rakesh Dahanuwala and Mr. Mahesh Panchal. Currently, Mr. Rakesh
Dahunuwala, Mr. Bhavesh Dahanuwala and Ms. Jagruti Patel holds
directorship in UCPL. UCPL is engaged into manufacturing of Empty
Hard Gelatin Capsule (EHGC) shells operating from plant situated in
Valsad (Gujarat) with an installed capacity of manufacturing 750
crore capsule shells per annum as on March 31, 2023. UCPL commenced
its operations from newly commissioned plant from May, 2019
onwards.
YRR TEX: CARE Reaffirms B+ Rating on INR11.35cr LT Loan
-------------------------------------------------------
CARE Ratings has reaffirmed the ratings on certain bank facilities
of YRR Tex Fab Private Limited (YTPL), as:
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Long Term Bank 11.35 CARE B+; Stable; Rating removed
Facilities from ISSUER NOT COOPERATING
Category and Reaffirmed
Rationale and key rating drivers
The ratings to the bank facilities of YTPL takes into consideration
growth in TOI in FY23 and further growth in ToI during 11MFY24.
However, it is constrained by modest scale of operations,
relatively low profit margins, highly working capital-intensive
nature of operations, moderately leveraged capital structure, weak
debt coverage indicators and stretched liquidity position. The
rating further continues to be constrained by presence in highly
fragmented and competitive nature of industry.
The rating, however, continues to derive strength from long track
record of the company with highly experienced promoter in the
textile industry and moderately diversified customer and supplier
base.
Rating sensitivities: Factors likely to lead to rating actions
Positive factors
* Increase in scale of operations with total operating income
exceeding INR75 crore on a sustained basis.
* Improvement in capital structure with overall gearing reaching
below 1.2 times on a sustained basis.
* Improvement in the debt coverage indicators with interest
coverage exceeding 2 times and total debt to gross cash accruals
reaching below 10 times on a sustained basis.
* Improvement in the collection and inventory periods below 150 and
90 days respectively with utilization level of the fund based
working capital limits reaching below 80% on a sustained basis.
Negative factors
* Deterioration in profit margins with PBILDT and PAT margins
reaching below 5% and 1% on sustained basis.
* Deterioration in TOI below INR30 crore.
Analytical approach: Standalone
Outlook: Stable
CARE Ratings believes that entity will continue to benefit from its
experienced promoters along with long track record of
operations.
Detailed description of the key rating drivers:
Key weaknesses
* Modest scale of operations; albeit growth in ToI in FY23 and
11MFY24: During FY23, the ToI of the company has grown by 60.68% to
INR67.98 crore (vis-à-vis INR42.30 crore in FY22) on account of
increase in volume of yarn sold. Furthermore, the company has
registered ToI of INR65.89 crore during 11MFY24 (refers to the
period April 1, 2023, to February 29, 2024) vis-à-vis INR52.03
crore during 9MFY23 (refers to the period April 1, 2022, to
December 31, 2022). During FY23, the sales realisation per meter of
yarn cloth sold decreased by INR28.66 per meter. However, the
volume of yarn sold increased by 47.57% (from 23,25,184 meters in
FY22 to 44,34,712 meters in FY23) primarily on account more demand
from its customers.
* Relatively low profit margins, with PBILDT margin declining to
5.13%in FY23: During FY23, the PBILDT margin of YRR has declined by
238 bps to 5.13% (vis-à-vis 7.51% in FY22) on account of increase
in cost of grey cloth by 41.90% (from INR31.49 crore in FY22 to
INR54.20 crore in FY23) along with increase in employee cost by
15.45% (from INR2.90 crore in FY22 to INR3.43 crore in FY23).
Furthermore, the PAT margin declined by 26 bps to 0.86% in FY23
(vis-à-vis 1.12% in FY22) owing to increase in depreciation from
INR0.22 crore in FY22 to INR0.30 crore in FY23 along with interest
expenses from INR2.25 crore in FY22 to INR2.35 crore in FY23.
* Moderately leveraged capital structure and weak debt coverage
indicators; albeit improvement witnessed during FY23: As on March
31, 2023, the overall gearing improved to 1.03 times (vis-à-vis
1.08 times as on March 31, 2022). Also, TD/GCA has improved to
19.94 times in FY23 (vis-à-vis 23.50 times in FY22) on account of
improvement in GCA, however continues to remain weak. Furthermore,
interest coverage has improved from 1.41 times in FY22 to 1.48
times in FY23 due to increase in PBILDT.
* High working capital-intensive nature of operations; albeit
improvement in FY23: The operations of YRR are working capital
intensive in nature with majority of funds being blocked in debtors
due to liberal credit period given to its customers. The collection
period continues to remain stretched though improved to 195 days in
FY23 (vis-àvis 299 days in FY22) due to faster recovery from
debtors. The inventory period though improved also remained high at
85 days in FY23 (vis-à-vis 139 days in FY22) due to faster
inventory turnaround during the year. Also, creditor's period has
improved to 112 days in FY23 (vis-à-vis 185 days in FY22). The
operating cycle of the company has improved from 253 days in FY22
to 168 days in FY23 primarily on account of improvement in average
inventory period along with average collection period.
Key strengths
* Long track record of the company with experienced promoter: The
company has established long standing track record of operations
through 20 years of existence in the textile trading industry. The
promoter of the firm i.e. Mr. Praful Kumar Somaiya holds
significant experience of around five decades in the textile
industry and he his assisted by his two sons namely Mr. Yash
Somaiya and Mr. Viral Somaiya. The extensive experience of the
promoter enables the firm to establish strong marketing connects
and business excellence for YRR Texfab Private Limited (formerly
Yash Knitwear).
* Diversified Customer and supplier: The customer profile of the
company remained diversified as it supplies to various
manufacturers and traders across local market. The top 5 customers
accounted for 26.91% of total sales in FY23 (vis-à-vis 63.79% of
total sales in FY22). Furthermore, the company purchases from local
suppliers wherein top 5 suppliers contribute 37.94% of total
purchases in FY23 (vis-à-vis 80.47% of total purchases in FY22).
Liquidity: Stretched
Liquidity position remained stretched marked by tightly matched
accruals against its repayment obligations. The free cash and bank
balance and liquid investments stood low at INR0.05 crore as on
March 31, 2023. The average utilization of the fund based working
capital borrowing (cash credit) remained utilised around 95%
utilized during past 12 months ended February 29, 2024.
Current ratio and quick ratio stood moderate at 2.05 times and 1.46
times respectively as on March 31, 2023. Cash flow from operating
activities stood positive at INR0.35 crore in FY23 (vis-à-vis
positive at INR3.68 crore in FY22).
Established in April 2002, YRR Texfab Private Limited (YTPL) is
engaged in the trading of finished fabrics viz. cotton, polyester,
linen, etc. YTPL purchases fabrics from local manufacturers, as per
designs provided/pre-approved by customer and then subsequently

EVCO: JV to Shut After Arrest of Key Executives
-----------------------------------------------
The Straits Times reports that EVCo, the joint venture company set
up by the business arm of SMRT and a Chinese electric vehicle firm,
is being wound up, several months after its two key executives were
arrested in connection with a police investigation.
In a March 1 post on EVCo's LinkedIn page, its chairwoman Judy Lee
announced that the company - owned by Strides Holdings and
Dishangtie Green Technology (Hong Kong) - would go into
liquidation, ST relays.
The "difficult decision" was made after "careful consideration,
deliberation and thorough evaluation" of the company's financial
situation, she said.
"We understand that this news would be disappointing to our staff,
customers, shareholders and partners. All staff have been informed,
and we are committed to supporting them during this transition,"
she added.
According to the report, EVCo's former chief executive officer Fuji
Foo and former chief financial officer Janice Low were arrested
late in 2023 in connection with a police probe after irregularities
were detected, and an internal audit was started.
On Jan. 31, the electric van leasing company - which had about 30
staff as at mid-December - let some of its employees go, including
those who did sales, operations, marketing and communications.
Sources said between 10 and 20 workers were let go.
Asked what would happen to EVCo's remaining staff, Ms Lee said no
employees will be transferred out, as they are needed to "maintain
service level to our existing customers during the liquidation
process". She did not say how many employees were affected by the
liquidation, the report relates.
On whether EVCo's vehicles would be transferred to Strides, she
said the liquidator would decide on the "appropriate approach to be
taken on the assets to maximise recovery for creditors".
When posed the same questions, Strides Holdings spokeswoman
Margaret Teo said: "Notwithstanding the setback, Strides remains
fully committed to the goal of decarbonisation and assisting our
small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) customers in embracing
green mobility and adopting environmentally friendly practices.
Forging forward, we will work with like-minded partners, on a more
robust and sustainable approach to achieve this goal."
Strides Holdings owns 60 per cent of EVCo's shares while Dishangtie
Green Technology (Hong Kong) holds the rest, the Straits Times
discloses.
Based on a business profile search lodged on March 4, the company,
incorporated as Strides DST on March 11, 2022, had a paid up
capital of $10 million.
In November 2022, EVCo said it would launch a ride-sharing service
targeted at SMEs, allowing them to have access to electric vans at
20 locations in Singapore, the report recalls. It would deploy 550
electric vans initially, with plans to grow to 2,000 vehicles.
EVCo was looking to provide a range of electric vehicles sourced
directly from manufacturers. Among them was the Shineray electric
van, which only EVCo imported to Singapore. The Land Transport
Authority's records show that there were 218 Shineray electric vans
registered in 2023.
As at February, there were still motor dealers that put out
listings of registered but unused units of the Shineray van for
sale on online used car portal Sgcarmart. The last unit listed
appears to have been removed on Feb. 23, the report adds.
