The Group’s revenue stood at Rs. 233.24 Cr. in FY26 vis-à-vis Rs. 207.64 Cr. in FY25, primarily driven by the ramp-up of operations at its Dubai manufacturing facility. However, the Indian operations witnessed a significant decline due to uncertainty surrounding US trade policies and slower customer off-take, given the Group’s high dependence on the US market. The Group continued to report net losses in FY26, which adversely impacted its net worth and cash accruals due to unabsorbed fixed costs which stood at (13.65%) in FY26 against (13.92%) in FY25. Consequently, the Group’s net worth declined to Rs. 270.78 Cr. as on March 31, 2026, from Rs. 303.80 Cr. as on March 31, 2025, while gearing deteriorated to 0.79 times from 0.66 times over the same period. Further, debt protection metrics remained weak, as reflected by an interest coverage ratio of 0.69 times and a DSCR of 0.04 times in FY26. The debt repayments have been met by managing working capital Acuité believes that the Group’s ability to improve its scale of operations, profitability, and debt protection metrics remains a key rating monitorable, particularly given the sub-unity coverage indicators. The rating is further constrained by the Group’s intensive working capital requirements and stretched liquidity position.” A copy of the detailed Rating Rationale/Press Release issued by Acuité Ratings & Research Limited is enclosed herewith for your reference.

Rating Rationale Acuité has downgraded the long-term rating to ‘ACUITE BBB’ (read as ACUITE triple B) from ‘ACUITE BBB+’ (read as ACUITE triple B plus) and short-term rating to 'ACUITE A3+' (read as ACUITE A three plus) from 'ACUITE A2' (read as ACUITE A two) on the Rs. 143.10 Cr. bank facilities of Global Surfaces Limited (erstwhile Global Stones Private Limited). The outlook is 'Negative'. Rationale for rating The rating downgrade reflects the continued moderation in the Group’s operating performance, weakening of its financial risk profile, and stretched liquidity position. The Group’s revenue stood at Rs. 233.24 Cr. in FY26 vis-à- vis Rs. 207.64 Cr. in FY25, primarily driven by the ramp-up of operations at its Dubai manufacturing facility. However, the Indian operations witnessed a significant decline due to uncertainty surrounding US trade policies and slower customer off-take, given the Group’s high dependence on the US market. The Group continued to report net losses in FY26, which adversely impacted its net worth and cash accruals due to unabsorbed fixed costs which stood at (13.65%) in FY26 against (13.92%) in FY25. Consequently, the Group’s net worth declined to Rs. 270.78 Cr. as on March 31, 2026, from Rs. 303.80 Cr. as on March 31, 2025, while gearing deteriorated to 0.79 times from 0.66 times over the same period. Further, debt protection metrics remained weak, as reflected by an interest coverage ratio of 0.69 times and a DSCR of 0.04 times in FY26. The debt repayments have been met by managing working capital Acuité believes that the Group’s ability to improve its scale of operations, profitability, and debt protection metrics remains a key rating monitorable, particularly given the sub-unity coverage indicators. The rating is further constrained by the Group’s intensive working capital requirements and stretched liquidity position. The continuation of the negative outlook reflects the uncertainty surrounding the Group’s ability to achieve a sustained improvement in profitability, cash accruals, debt protection metrics, and liquidity. Although the Group achieved break-even at the PAT level in Q1FY27, the sustainability of the same will remain a monitorable. Further, the prevailing geopolitical uncertainties in the Gulf region could adversely impact demand, disrupt supply chains, and increase freight and logistics costs, thereby exerting pressure on the Group’s operating performance and profitability over the near term. Going forward, a sustained improvement in revenue, profitability, cash accruals, working capital efficiency, and debt protection metrics will remain key rating monitorable.
