[ICRA]BB-(Stable) Assigned

Long-Term Fund-Based Limit-Term Loan

Rs.19.80 crore

[ICRA]BB-(Stable) Assigned

ICRA has assigned a long-term rating of [ICRA]BB- (pronounced ICRA double B minus) to the
Rs.29.45 crore* fund-based bank limits of Aswani Construction Private Limited (ACPL or company) .
The outlook assigned to the long-term rating is Stable.
The assigned rating is constrained by the limited track record of the companys promoters in AAC
blocks manufacturing segment, weak financial risk profile characterized by stretched capital structure
and moderate debt-protection metrics and project implementation risks associated with the companys
proposed venture in Haryana. ICRA notes that the implementation risks associated with the new
project remain high, as it is still in the initial stages. Further, the ability of the company to timely
commission the project without any cost-overruns and successfully market the products and maintain
healthy cash flow position, post commissioning, to ensure timely debt-servicing, remains crucial from
rating perspective. ICRA further notes that the competitive pressure is expected to remain high from
both organized and unorganized segments on account of low entry barriers.
However, the rating favourably factors in the healthy demand indicators for AAC blocks manufactured
by the company, and location advantages owing to proximity to raw material sources as well as major
consumption centres in Gujarat and Maharashtra. The rating also takes comfort from experience of the
companys promoters in the Surat real estate market and the strong group support by virtue of being a
part of the Surat based Ascon Group of Developers.
