In the past one month, the stock has rallied 42 per cent after ICRA Ratings, on April 28, reaffirmed credit rating to ICRA A1+(CE) for Rs 200 crore standby letters of credit (SBLC) backed commercial paper program of Surya Roshni (on the credit enhancement by its bankers). “The rating reflects strong credit quality and ensures a very strong degree of safety regarding timely payment of financial obligations by company,” it had said.
“Surya Roshni’s liquidity position is strong, with expected cash flows from operations remaining more than adequate to meet the debt servicing obligations as well as margin funding requirements for capex and working capital. This has enabled the company to prepay part of its term debt obligations, beyond the scheduled repayment obligations, over the past few years. The company’s strong liquidity position is corroborated by a healthy cushion in the form of undrawn fund-based working capital limits,” ICRA added in rating rationale.
