ANGLE ASSET 2026-1: Moody's Assigns (P)B3 Rating to Class F Notes
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Ratings has assigned the following provisional ratings to
the ABS notes to be issued by Perpetual Corporate Trust Limited as
trustee of Angle Asset Finance - Radian Trust 2026-1.
Issuer: Perpetual Corporate Trust Limited as trustee of Angle Asset
Finance - Radian Trust 2026-1
AUD293.20 million Class A Notes, Assigned (P)Aaa (sf)
AUD44.80 million Class B Notes, Assigned (P)Aa2 (sf)
AUD16.40 million Class C Notes, Assigned (P)A2 (sf)
AUD8.80 million Class D Notes, Assigned (P)Baa2 (sf)
AUD17.20 million Class E Notes, Assigned (P)Ba2 (sf)
AUD6.80 million Class F Notes, Assigned (P)B3 (sf)
The AUD6.40 million Class G1 Notes and AUD6.40 million Class G2
Notes (together, the Class G Notes) are not rated by us.
Angle Asset Finance - Radian Trust 2026-1 is a securitisation of
auto and equipment loans and operating leases originated by A.C.N
603 303 126 Pty Ltd trading as Angle Asset Finance (Angle Asset
Finance). The obligors in the pool are mainly small-to-medium-sized
enterprises (SME), and also include corporates and government
entities. All borrowers are domiciled in Australia. The underlying
assets are comprised of, among others, cars (40.1%), trucks (13.9%)
and other wheeled assets (25.4%).
Angle Asset Finance originated about 97.7% of the receivables in
this portfolio, with around 85.8% and 11.9% originated via broker
and vendor channels, respectively. Capital Finance Australia
Limited (CFAL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Westpac Banking
Corporation (Westpac, Aa1/P-1), originated the remaining 2.3% of
the receivables in this portfolio through its then vendor finance
business. All receivables are serviced by Garrison Lending
Operations Pty Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Angle Asset
Finance.
Angle Asset Finance is a non-bank lender providing asset financing
to SMEs, corporates and government entities via brokers and vendor
relationships. Angle Asset Finance has been in operation since
October 2019, and started originating auto and equipment loans to
SMEs via brokers in significant volumes from October 2020. As of
February 2026, its assets under management totaled around AUD1.96
billion. Angle Asset Finance is privately owned by an affiliate
company of Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. as a majority
shareholder and Deutsche Bank AG, Sydney Branch.
RATINGS RATIONALE
The provisional ratings take into account, among other factors, (1)
Moody's evaluations of the underlying receivables and their
expected performance; (2) evaluation of the capital structure and
credit enhancement provided to the rated notes; (3) availability of
excess spread over the transaction's life; (4) the liquidity
facility in the amount of 1.5% of all notes other than the Class G
Notes; (5) the legal structure; (6) experience of Garrison Lending
Operations Pty Limited as servicer; and (7) the presence of
Perpetual Corporate Trust Limited as the back-up servicer.
According to Moody's analysis, the transaction benefits from a
relatively high level of excess spread. The portfolio yield of 8.4%
- relative to the transaction expenses - results in a relatively
high level of excess spread available to cover losses arising from
the portfolio.
The key weaknesses in the transaction are the limited availability
of historical data and higher-than-expected variability in
performance to date. Firstly, Angle Asset Finance started its
originations via brokers in January 2020, with significant volumes
only beginning in October 2020. Its originations via vendors
started in August 2021. Secondly, receivables originated between Q3
2022 to Q3 2023 are showing higher early cumulative defaults than
prior origination vintages. As such, the performance of the
portfolio could be subject to greater variability in the future
than the observed performance to date indicates. Moody's have taken
this into account in Moody's asset analysis.
TRANSACTION STRUCTURE AND POOL CHARACTERISTICS
Key transactional features are as follows:
-- The notes will be repaid on a sequential basis initially. On
and after the payment date occurring twelve months after the deal
closing date, all notes, other than the Class G Notes, will receive
their pro-rata share of principal, provided step-down conditions
are satisfied. These include, among others, no unreimbursed
charge-offs and the payment date occurring prior to the call option
date. If step-down conditions are no longer met, the repayment of
principal will revert to sequential. The call option date will
occur on the earlier of the payment date in April 2029 and the
invested amount of the notes falling below 10% of the initial
invested amount of the notes.
-- National Australia Bank Limited (Aa1/P-1/Aa1(cr)/P-1(cr)) will
provide fixed rate swaps for this transaction. The swap will hedge
the interest rate mismatch between the assets bearing a fixed rate
of interest, and floating rate liabilities. As at closing, the
total swap notional will correspond to all notes, other than the
Class G2 Notes. The total swap notional will follow a schedule
based on the amortisation of the assets assuming a certain
prepayment rate.
Key pool features are as follows:
-- The pool has a weighted average seasoning of 13.7 months.
-- The proportion of loans with a balloon payment is 34.3%.
-- Interest rates in the portfolio range from 3.9% to 17.4%, with
a weighted average interest rate of 8.4%.
-- Loans underwritten on the basis of 'no financials' and 'vendor'
verification represent around 77.4% of the pool.
MAIN MODEL ASSUMPTIONS
Moody's portfolio credit enhancement ("PCE") is 25.0 Moody's
expected default rate for this transaction is 5.5% and expected
recovery is 22%, resulting in an expected loss of around 4.3%.
The expected loss captures Moody's expectations of performance
considering the current economic outlook, while the PCE captures
the loss Moody's expects the portfolio to suffer in the event of a
severe recession scenario. The expected default rate, recovery and
PCE are parameters used by us to calibrate its lognormal portfolio
loss distribution curve and to associate a probability with each
potential future loss scenario in Moody's cash flow model.
Moody's have estimated an expected default rate and PCE for this
deal on the basis of:
-- Cumulative default rates observed to date, and in particular
receivables originated between Q3 2022 to Q3 2023 are showing
higher early cumulative defaults than prior origination vintages.
-- Benchmarking with other SME auto and equipment receivable
portfolios in the market, in view of the relatively short
performance history of receivables originated by Angle Asset
Finance.
Moody's asset assumptions also reflect qualitative analysis
including portfolio characteristics, the limited operational track
record of Angle Asset Finance as an originator and servicer and the
current economic environment in Australia.
Methodology Underlying the Rating Action
The principal methodology used in these ratings was "Equipment
Lease and Loan Securitizations" published in June 2025.
Factors that would lead to an upgrade or downgrade of the ratings:
Factors that could lead to an upgrade of the notes include a rapid
build-up of credit enhancement due to sequential amortization or a
better-than-expected collateral performance. The Australian economy
is the primary driver of performance.
Factors that could lead to a downgrade of the notes is a
worse-than-expected collateral performance, poor servicing, error
on the part of transaction parties, a deterioration in the credit
quality of transaction counterparties, a lack of transactional
governance, or fraud.

GEMINI PRIME 2026-1: S&P Assigns BB(sf) Rating on Class E Notes
---------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its ratings to nine classes of
residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) issued by Perpetual
Corporate Trust Ltd. as trustee of Gemini Prime Trust 2026-1.
Gemini Prime Trust 2026-1 is a securitization of residential
mortgage loans originated by Brighten Financial Pty Ltd.
The ratings reflect the following factors.
The credit risk of the underlying collateral portfolio, which
comprises 100% prime residential mortgage loans to Australian
resident borrowers, and the credit support provided to each class
of notes are commensurate with the ratings assigned. Credit support
is provided by subordination and excess spread, if any. S&P's
assessment of credit risk considers Brighten Financial's
underwriting standards and approval process, and its servicing
quality.
The rated notes can meet timely payment of interest and ultimate
repayment of principal under the rating stresses. Key rating
factors are the level of subordination provided, principal draw
function, provision of a liquidity facility, and provision of an
extraordinary expense reserve. S&P said, "Our analysis is on the
basis that the notes are fully redeemed via the principal waterfall
mechanism under the transaction documents by their legal final
maturity date, and we assume the notes are not called at or beyond
the call-option date."
S&P said, "Our ratings also take into account the counterparty
exposure to Westpac Banking Corp. as bank account provider and
liquidity facility provider. Natixis S.A will provide a
cross-currency swap to hedge the mismatch between the
Australian-dollar receipts from the underlying assets and the yen
payments on the class A1-Y notes. We also have factored into our
ratings the legal structure of the trust, which is established as a
special-purpose entity and meets our criteria for insolvency
remoteness.
"We have assessed the servicing and standby servicing arrangements
in this transaction under our "Global Framework For Assessing
Operational Risk In Structured Finance Transactions" criteria,
published Oct. 9, 2014, and concluded that there are no constraints
on the maximum rating that can be assigned to the notes."

MA MONEY 2023-1: Moody's Upgrades Rating on Class E Notes from Ba2
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Ratings has upgraded ratings on four classes of notes
issued by Perpetual Corporate Trust Limited as trustee of MA Money
Residential Securitisation Trust 2023-1.
The affected ratings are as follows:
Issuer: MA Money Residential Securitisation Trust 2023-1
Class C Notes, Upgraded to Aa2 (sf); previously on Sep 3, 2024
Upgraded to A1 (sf)
Class D Notes, Upgraded to A2 (sf); previously on Sep 3, 2024
Upgraded to Baa1 (sf)
Class E Notes, Upgraded to Baa2 (sf); previously on Nov 28, 2023
Definitive Rating Assigned Ba2 (sf)
Class F Notes, Upgraded to Baa3 (sf); previously on Jul 2, 2025
Upgraded to Ba3 (sf)
A comprehensive review of all credit ratings for the transaction(s)
has been conducted during a rating committee.
RATINGS RATIONALE
The upgrades were prompted by an increase in credit enhancement
available to the affected notes and the collateral performance to
date.
No actions were taken on the remaining rated classes in the deal as
credit enhancement remains commensurate with the current rating for
the respective notes.
Following the March 2026 payment date, credit enhancement
(including the Retention Amount Ledger) available for the Class C
and Class D Notes has increased to 12.2% and 7.7% from 6.7% and
4.1% respectively at the time of the last rating action for these
notes in September 2024. Credit enhancement for the Class E Notes
has increased to 5.1% from 2.0% at closing. Credit enhancement for
the Class F Notes has increased to 3.7% from 2.7% at the time of
the last rating action in July 2025. Since the November 2025
payment date, principal collections have been applied on a pro-rata
basis to all notes, with the Class G1 and Class G2 Notes' share
allocated in reverse sequential order to the rated notes, starting
with the Class F Notes.
As of end-Feb 2026, 4.2% of the outstanding pool was 30-plus days
delinquent and 2.6% was 90-plus days delinquent. Current
outstanding pool balance as a percentage of the closing pool
balance was 37.5%. The deal has not incurred any losses to date.
Based on the observed performance to date and loan attributes,
Moody's have maintained Moody's expected loss assumption at 2.2% of
the outstanding pool balance (equivalent to 0.8% of the original
pool balance) since the last rating action in July 2025. Moody's
have decreased Moody's MILAN CE assumption to 8.8% from 10.3% at
closing.
The transaction is an Australian RMBS secured by a portfolio of
residential mortgage loans, originated by MA Money Financial
Services Pty Ltd, an Australian non-bank mortgage lender. A portion
of the portfolio consists of loans extended to borrowers with
impaired credit histories or made on a limited documentation
basis.
The principal methodology used in these ratings was "Residential
Mortgage-Backed Securitizations" published in October 2024.
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 the credit enhancement available
for the notes and (3) a deterioration in the credit quality of the
transaction counterparties.
PUBLIC HOSPITALITY: Adgemis Faces Public Grilling Over Debt Pile
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Australian Financial Review reports that Jon Adgemis, whose pub
empire failed last year in one of the biggest personal bankruptcies
ever, could be publicly grilled by liquidators over a debt pile
that reached beyond AUD1.8 billion as the trustee of his estate
investigates tax refunds paid to the former KPMG dealmaker's
companies.
According to the Financial Review, BRI Ferrier, the firm that now
controls several vehicles within Mr. Adgemis' collapsed Public
Hospitality Group, has applied to the Federal Court to begin public
examinations of directors and officers of four companies.
If the court allows BRI's request, it would force Mr. Adgemis to
provide evidence as part of an investigation into the circumstances
leading to the collapse of Public Hospitality, the Financial Review
relays. Mr. Adgemis' personal bankruptcy is being overseen by
another firm, Pitcher Partners, which was appointed by tax
officials.
Mr. Adgemis has made no public comments since Pitcher Partners was
appointed to oversee his affairs in October.
The Financial Review says Pitcher Partners circulated a note to Mr.
Adgemis' creditors late on March 26, saying it had reviewed
extensive documentation, including from the Australian Taxation
Office.
"The audit identified that GST refunds received by various entities
within the Public Hospitality Group were used to 'sustain' the
Public Hospitality Group's operating activities and pay existing
debts," Pitcher Partners' Andrew Yeo wrote.
"I have conducted extensive tracing of funds totalling
approximately AUD84 million, received as GST refunds by an entity
within the Public Hospitality Group, and have identified a number
of transactions of interest that I intend to investigate further.
Mr. Yeo said part of his investigations will be whether Mr. Adgemis
benefited personally from those GST transactions, the Financial
Review relays.
Mr. Adgemis denies any tax fraud.
Mr. Adgemis left KPMG, where he had been a high-flying dealmaker,
in 2017 and founded Public Hospitality in 2021, the Financial
Review notes. Fuelled by debts during the pandemic, the company
grew into a major owner of venues from Oxford House and The Norfolk
in Sydney to Guy Grossi's Puttanesca in Melbourne.
But when inflation surged, Mr. Adgemis tapped short-term
high-interest debt from the booming private credit market,
borrowing money for his properties based on valuations that far
outweighed the purchase price.
His venues and his own property took on mortgages and associated
caveats; the vast majority had second mortgages, and some even had
a third. In one instance, according to a report circulated to
creditors, he had borrowed more than AUD135 million against a
single property valued at AUD4.5 million, the Financial Review
discloses.
The Financial Review adds that Mr. Yeo has also flagged further
investigation into loans made within Adgemis' group of companies,
some which lodged a debt claim for AUD15 million to an earlier
appointed trustee.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Freight Express Pty Ltd will be held on April 15, 2026, at 10:30
a.m. via electronic means.
Jason Glenn Stone and Paul Anthony Allen of PKF Melbourne were
appointed as administrators of the company on April 1, 2026.
ZONE RV: Customers Launch Campaign to Hold Director Accountable
---------------------------------------------------------------
ABC News reports that angry customers who lost millions of dollars
when luxury caravan company Zone RV collapsed have launched a
national campaign demanding ASIC hold the former director
accountable.
Sunshine Coast-based Zone RV plunged into administration in
December, owing AUD42 million to hundreds of creditors, including
staff, suppliers and customers.
The company was voted into liquidation in January, before a
Melbourne-based rival purchased Zone RV's assets to continue the
brand, the ABC recalls.
But about 140 customers are still owed more than AUD10 million in
total, after paying up to AUD160,000 in progress payments for
caravans that were not built.
As unsecured creditors, the customers face walking away
empty-handed and waving goodbye to retirement dreams.
Liquidators have accused former director David Biggar of multiple
breaches of the federal Corporations Act, saying he "failed to act
in good faith by continuing to trade whilst insolvent" for up to
two and a half years.
According to the ABC, Gold Coast resident Natasha Daley lost
AUD160,000 and represents about 70 customers who say they are
collectively owed nearly AUD7 million.
She wrote a joint submission to ASIC on behalf of customers,
pushing the corporate watchdog to "take some sort of action".
"I'm feeling disgusted and angry . . . there's been significant
consumer harm," the ABC quotes Ms. Daley as saying. "My husband
and I had retired from our jobs finally and [were] planning a trip
around Australia for a couple of years."
That dream has now evaporated.
"Retirement plans are on hold, [and we are now] back to work for 12
to 18 months to try and recover some of our funds," she said.
The ABC relates that Ms. Daley said customers wanted ASIC to
investigate Mr. Biggar after the liquidator's allegations of
insolvent trading.
"He needs to be held to account," she said.
"There's been so many mums and dads, retirees that will never get
these funds back again, that need ASIC to do the right thing [and]
investigate to the full extent possible."
Mr. Biggar did not respond to requests for comment.
The ABC notes that the liquidator Cor Cordis attributed the
company's failure to "poor financial management", periods without
leadership in finance and operations, and a reliance on customer
instalment payments to fund Zone RV's operations.
Mr. Biggar signed a loan agreement in December 2024 to personally
provide Zone RV with up to AUD10 million.
Despite the company's struggles, Mr. Biggar only loaned AUD2
million to Zone RV in June 2025, before repaying himself about AUD1
million in the weeks before the company collapsed.
Perth-based customer Eduard Planken, who lost AUD154,000, is
supporting the campaign for ASIC to investigate Mr. Biggar, the ABC
adds.

BANASHANKARI AGRO: ICRA Keeps B+ Debt Ratings in Not Cooperating
----------------------------------------------------------------
ICRA has kept the Long-Term rating of Banashankari Agro Farms LLP
in the 'Issuer Not Cooperating' category. The rating is denoted as
"[ICRA]B+ (Stable); ISSUER NOT COOPERATING".
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Long Term- 15.80 [ICRA]B+ (Stable) ISSUER NOT
Fund Based- COOPERATING; Rating continues
Cash Credit to remain under 'Issuer Not
Cooperating' category
Long Term- 3.00 [ICRA]B+ (Stable) ISSUER NOT
Fund Based- COOPERATING; Rating continues
Term Loan to remain under 'Issuer Not
Cooperating' category
Long Term- 1.20 [ICRA]B+ (Stable) ISSUER NOT
Unallocated COOPERATING; Rating continues
to remain under 'Issuer Not
Cooperating' category
The rating continues to remain under "Issuer Not Cooperating" is
because of lack of adequate information regarding Banashankari Agro
Farms LLP's performance and hence the uncertainty around its credit
risk. ICRA assesses whether the information available about the
entity is commensurate with its rating and reviews the same as per
its "Policy in respect of non-cooperation by a rated entity"
available at www.icra.in. The lenders, investors and other market
participants are thus advised to exercise appropriate caution while
using this rating as the rating may not adequately reflect the
credit risk profile of the entity.
As part of its process and in accordance with its rating agreement
with Banashankari Agro Farms LLP, 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 ICRA, the rating has been
continued to the "Issuer Not Cooperating" category. The rating is
based on the best available information.
Banashankari Agro Farms LLP is a partnership firm, owned and

JAIPRAKASH ASSOCIATES: SC Refuses to Stay Adani's Resolution Plan
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Economic Times reports that the Supreme Court of India on March
30 refused to stay Gautam Adani-led Adani Enterprises' takeover of
Jaiprakash Associates, in a blow to billionaire Anil Agarwal's
Vedanta Group.
According to ET, Vedanta had approached the apex court seeking a
stay on Adani Group's INR14,500-crore debt resolution plan for the
now insolvent Jaiprakash Associates, challenging the rejection of
its own revised bid.
ET relates that the company argued that the insolvency process
lacked transparency and failed to maximise value for creditors,
alleging that the committee of creditors' approval of Adani
Enterprises' plan was "unfair, opaque, and inequitable."
A bench led by Chief Justice Suryakant, after hearing counsel,
declined to intervene, noting that related company appeals are
already listed for final hearing before the National Company Law
Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) on April 10.
"In view of the fact that company appeals of 2026 are now listed
for final hearing before NCLAT on April 10, we see no reason to
interfere with the order," the court said, while requesting the
tribunal to take up the matter on an out-of-turn basis and continue
hearings on the next working day if arguments remain incomplete.
The court also said that if the monitoring committee takes any
major policy decision in the interim, it may do so after taking the
NCLAT's view, given the nature and implications of the case, ET
relays.
Vedanta Group had moved the Supreme Court of India on March 30,
escalating its challenge to the insolvency process of Jaiprakash
Associates, ET recalls.
The group claimed it was earlier declared the highest bidder and
had received written confirmation, only for the decision to be
reversed later without explanation.
Vedanta had offered INR16,726 crore, higher than Adani Enterprises'
INR14,535 crore bid, and has argued that its proposal should have
been given precedence, ET recalls.
It has also filed multiple appeals questioning both the validity of
the resolution plan and the process followed by the Committee of
Creditors and the adjudicating authority.

MK ROAD: CARE Lowers Rating on INR50cr Long Term Loan to B
----------------------------------------------------------
CARE Ratings has revised the ratings on certain bank facilities of
MK Road Lines (MKR), as:
Amount
Facilities (INR crore) Ratings
---------- ----------- -------
Long Term Bank 50.00 CARE B; Stable; ISSUER NOT
Facilities COOPERATING; Downgraded from
CARE B+; Stable and moved to
ISSUER NOT COOPERATING category
Rationale and key rating drivers
CARE Ratings Limited has been seeking information from MKR to
monitor the rating vide email communications dated March 5, 2026;
February 13, 2026; and numerous phone calls. However, despite
repeated requests, the company has not provided the requisite
information for monitoring the ratings. In line with the extant
SEBI guidelines, CARE Ratings Limited has reviewed the rating on
the basis of the best available information which however, in CARE
Ratings Limited’s opinion is not sufficient to arrive at a fair
rating. The rating on MKR’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 rating has been revised on account of non-availability of
adequate information thereby leading to uncertainty around credit
risk of the company.
Analytical approach: Standalone
Outlook: Stable
Detailed description of key rating drivers:
At the time of last rating on March 31, 2025, the following were
the rating strengths and weaknesses:
Key Weaknesses
* Small scale of operation albeit improvement over the years: The
scale of operation of MKR remained small albeit showing improvement
in the last five years. The Total Operating Income (TOI) of MKR
grew at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.87% in last 5
years ended FY24. On y-o-y basis TOI grew
by 25% to INR52.36 crore in FY24 from INR41.86 crore in FY23 on
account of firm’s expansion of customer base and services
offered. The PBILDT margin also improved from FY23 onwards as the
firm reduced dependence on hired fleet and increased its owned
fleet size. The firm reported PBILDT margin of 12.93% in FY24
(FY22: 4.97% and FY23: 11.30%), although, due to high interest
rates the PAT margin moderated significantly to 0.24% ( FY22: 1.47%
and FY23: 3.10%). Furthermore, the firm has signed agreement of a
tenure of 3 years with Tata Steels Ltd in January, 2024, for
providing logistics services. The same is expected to increase the
scale of operation from FY25 onwards and the company has achieved
turnover of around INR49 crore for till December 31, 2024.
* Constitution as a partnership firm: MKR, being a partnership
firm, is exposed to inherent risk of withdrawal of capital by the
partners resulting in reduction of capital base leading to an
adverse effect on capital structure. There have been instances of
withdrawal of capital by the partners during past five years which
led to a low networth base of the entity.
* Highly competitive nature of transportation and logistics
business: The transport business faces intense competition due to
the presence of numerous players with limited fleet sizes in both
organized and unorganized sectors. This high level of fragmentation
results in several challenges: small operators have reduced
bargaining power, making it difficult to negotiate favourable
terms; there are increased storage and handling losses due to
inefficiencies; and resources are not utilized optimally, leading
to higher operational costs. Consequently, these factors
collectively hinder the overall efficiency and profitability of the
transport business.
* Leveraged capital structure and strained debt coverage
indicators: The entity's capital structure stood leveraged, as
marked by an overall gearing of 17.11x as on March, 31, 2024 (3.93x
as on March, 31, 2023) with high reliance on external debt. Its
debt profile largely comprises external debt in the form of vehicle
loans. The firm has started expanding its business backed by orders
from clients, and therefore is increasing its bank borrowing to
enhance the fleet size. The total debt stood at INR34.40 crore as
on March 31, 2024 as against INR13.38 crore as on March 31, 2023.
Furthermore, MKR has continued its purchase of fleet during FY25
and has added around INR21.00 crore of additional term loan in the
capital structure till January, 2025. As articulated by the
management, the bank borrowing is expected to increase further in
FY26 for purchase of more vehicles. As a result, the capital
structure is expected to remain similar in medium term. Debt
coverage indicators also remained strained, with PBILDT interest
coverage at 2.55x in FY24 (5.21x in FY23), and total debt to GCA
(TD/GCA) rising to 7.92x in FY24 from 3.32x in FY23. This
deterioration was due to improved profitability being offset by a
significant increase in debt levels.
Key Strengths
* Experienced Promoters: MRK was founded by Late Mr. Kailash Pareek
in 2008 in Rourkela, Odisha. The firm is currently managed by its
two experienced partners Shri Nitesh Parekh and Shri Rahul Pareek,
who oversees the day to day operations of the firm. The partners
are well supported by a team of professionals.
* Established infrastructure for logistics: MKR has been providing
logistics services across various states in India for more than a
decade. The operation is controlled by five regional offices
located at Rourkela, Belpahar, Raipur, Jajpur, Nagpur and
Visakhapatnam. The company has started increasing its owned fleet
size from FY23 onwards to increase its scale, and as on December
31, 2024 the company has around 150 owned flatbed trailers for
providing services. Furthermore, as per requirement the firm also
hire fleet form outside. Going ahead, the company is expected to
add around two new vehicle each month which will increase the
fleet size subsequently.
* Reputed client base albeit risk of client concentration: MKR
provides full truck load (FTL) and less-than-truck load (LTL)
transportation services along with project logistics and relocation
services. The firm has a long-standing relationship with various
reputed clients, from which it has been receiving regular orders.
The firm generally gets contract for a tenure of 2 to 3 years and
post expiry the same gets renewed. The client base includes names
like TRL Krosaki Refractories Limited, Tata Steels Limited (CARE
AA+; Stable), RHI Magnesita India Refractories Ltd among others.
Founded in 2008 by Kailash Pareek, MK Road Lines (MKR) is based in
Rourkela, Odisha. MKR offers a range of services including
transportation, ODC handling, project logistics, relocation, and
full truck load services. These services cater to various
industries such as residential, commercial, mining, oil, gas,
engineering, and construction.

"resolved and any settlement is entered," ET relays. It shall be
open for the flat buyers to file an application under Section 12A.

with United Composheets Private Limited, ICRA has been trying to
seek information from the entity so as to monitor its performance

requests by ICRA, the entity's management has remained

continued to the "Issuer Not Cooperating" category. The rating is
based on the best available information.

VARDHMAN VITRIFIED: ICRA Keeps D Debt Ratings in Not Cooperating
----------------------------------------------------------------
ICRA has kept the Long-Term and Short-Term ratings of Vardhman

The ratings are denoted as "[ICRA]D; ISSUER NOT
COOPERATING/[ICRA]D; ISSUER NOT COOPERATING".

Short-term 3.00 [ICRA]D; ISSUER NOT COOPERATING;

The rating continues to remain under "Issuer Not Cooperating" is
because of lack of adequate information regarding Vardhman
Vitrified Private Limited's performance and hence the uncertainty
around its credit risk. ICRA assesses whether the information
available about the entity is commensurate with its rating and
reviews the same as per its "Policy in respect of non-cooperation
by a rated entity" available at www.icra.in. The lenders, investors
and other market participants are thus advised to exercise
appropriate caution while using this rating as the rating may not
adequately reflect the credit risk profile of the entity.
