Rating Action
Total Bank Loan Facilities Rated Rs.37 Crore
CRISIL BBB/Negative (Outlook revised from 'Stable';
Long Term Rating
Rating Reaffirmed)
Short Term Rating CRISIL A3+ (Reaffirmed)
Note: None of the Directors on CRISIL Ratings Limited’s Board are members of rating committee and thus do not participate in discussion or assignment of any ratings.
The Board of Directors also does not discuss any ratings at its meetings.
1 crore = 10 million
Refer to Annexure for Details of Instruments & Bank Facilities
Detailed rationale
CRISIL Ratings has revised its outlook on the long-term bank facilities of Jaipur Golden Transport Co Private Limited (JGTCL;
part of the Jaipur Golden group) to ‘Negative’ from ‘Stable’ while reaffirming the ‘CRISIL BBB’ rating and has reaffirmed its
‘CRISIL A3+’ rating on the short-term bank facility.
The outlook revision reflects the weakening in the business risk profile of the Jaipur Golden group with revenue lagging the
pre-pandemic level despite the revival in the logistics industry. Further, the revenue levels are expected to remain in the
range of Rs 350-400 crore over medium term with companies focus remaining on retails business segment. JGTCL had a
negative operating margin in the past three fiscals on account of inability to pass on higher diesel prices. Although the margin
at the group level improved in fiscal 2022, it has been low till September 2022 this fiscal and is estimated to remain around
1% over medium term. Sustenance of operating margins and improvement in scale of operations will be a key monitorable
over the medium term.
The ratings continue to reflect the established presence of the Jaipur Golden group and its comfortable financial risk profile.
These strengths are partially offset by modest operating margin resulting from low negotiating power, and the impact of
competition on demand and price flexibility.
Analytical approach
CRISIL Ratings has combined the business and financial risk profiles of JGTCL, Jaipur Golden Transport Co (Regd), and
Jaipur Golden Transport Co (Org). This is because all the entities, collectively referred to as the Jaipur Golden group, are
under a common management, and have strong operational linkages in the form of resource sharing and common
customers.
Please refer Annexure - List of entities consolidated, which captures the list of entities considered and their analytical treatment of consolidation.
Comfortable financial risk profile: Networth and gearing were healthy, estimated at Rs 61.5 crore and 0.18 time,
respectively, as on March 31, 2022. The capital structure is expected to remain stable despite low accretion to reserve on
account of subdued profitability. Debt protection metrics should remain above average over the medium term—interest
coverage and net cash accrual to total debt ratios are expected over 20 times and 0.5 time, respectively, in fiscal 2023.
Weaknesses:
Modest operating margin resulting from low negotiating power: Operating margin was 1.84% in fiscal 2022 and is
expected to remain low at ~1% in fiscal 2023 on account of rising diesel prices and labour cost, and weak negotiation
power amid intense competition. The operating margin has been low compared with the industry average of 6-7%.
Intense competition impacting demand and price flexibility: The road freight transport industry has a large number of
players because of low entry barriers, leading to high price competition. Moreover, lack of product differentiation among
players limits bargaining power with customers. Large, organised players providing value-added services such as
warehousing, containerised movement and supply chain management, are able to negotiate favourable better freight
contracts and have better pricing flexibility. Also, rail freight will gain pace with the partial commissioning of the dedicated
freight corridor by the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, impacting demand for road freight.
Liquidity: Adequate
Liquidity of the Jaipur Golden group remains adequate with nil debt against estimated annual net cash accrual of over Rs
5 crore. JGTCPL has sufficient cushion in bank lines, which were utilised just 6.23% on average in the 12 months through
September 2022. Free cash and bank balance of Rs 8.36 crore as on March 31, 2022, also supports liquidity.
Outlook: Negative
CRISIL Ratings believes the business risk profile of JGTCPL will remain vulnerable to revenue growth and sustenance of
operating margin.
Rating sensitivity factors
Upward factors:
Revenue increasing by 25% and operating margin of over 3%, leading to higher cash accrual
Sustenance of the working capital cycle
Downward factors:
Decline in revenue by 10% and operating margin falling below 1%
Large, debt-funded capital expenditure weakening the capital structure
Steep increase in working capital requirement constraining liquidity and financial risk profile
