Rationale and key rating drivers
The upgrade in ratings assigned to bank facilities of Shree Refrigerations Limited (SRL) factors in improvement in SRL’s scale of
operations, operating cycle, and liquidity in FY26 (refers to April 1 to March 31).
Ratings continue to derive strength from experienced promoters, reputed clientele base, healthy profitability, moderate orderbook
position reflecting medium-term revenue visibility, and comfortable capital structure and debt coverage indicators.
However, these rating strengths are partially offset by its moderate scale of operations and working capital intensive operations.
Ratings are further constrained due to tender driven and competitive nature of business, raw material price volatility, and exposure
to changes in government regulations.
CARE Ratings Limited (CareEdge Ratings) has also withdrawn ratings assigned to one of the bank facilities, which has been repaid
in full and there are no dues outstanding against this facility.
Rating sensitivities: Factors likely to lead to rating actions
Positive factors
• Improvement in scale of operation above ₹200 crore while maintaining profitability on a sustained basis.
• Managing working capital cycle efficiently with improvement in overall operating cycle below 250 days on a sustained
basis.
Negative factors
• Significant elongation in gross current asset days impacting liquidity.
• Any significant debt-funded expansion resulting in total debt to profit before interest, lease rentals, depreciation and
taxation (PBILDT) above 3x on a sustained basis.
• Any significant investment into non-core activities impacting solvency or liquidity position.
Analytical approach: Consolidated
CareEdge Ratings has considered consolidated financials of SRL, including SRL and its wholly owned subsidiary Trezor
Technologies Private Limited (TTPL) owing to managerial, financial, business, and operational linkages. Consolidated entities are
mentioned in Annexure-5.
Outlook: Stable
The 'Stable' outlook on the rating reflects CareEdge Ratings’ expectation that SRL will continue to benefit from its promoters’
extensive experience and established relationships with its clients.

Press Release
Detailed description of key rating drivers
Key strengths
Long and established track record of promoters and key managerial personnel
The company is led by Ravalnath Gopinath Shende, Promoter and Managing Director, who brings extensive experience in sales,
manufacturing, operations, and management. The Shende family oversees the financials and overall management of the company.
Other key leaders bring significant industry expertise, including Commodore Sunil Kaushik, Whole-time Director, with over 35
years of experience in the Indian Navy and shipbuilding projects; Nandkumar Madhav Athawale, Independent Director, with vast
experience in heavy engineering, defence, and aerospace; Umesh Ramaswamy Shastry, Independent Director, a qualified
Chartered Accountant and Company Secretary with expertise in finance and internal audit; Col. Lalit Rai, Independent Director, a
former army officer with leadership experience; and Vivek Karnavat, Independent Director, with a distinguished career in the
Indian Navy. The leadership team’s collective expertise, supported by professionals with domain-specific experience, strengthens
the company’s ability to secure additional defence projects.
Healthy profitability
SRL’s profitability, though declined by 500 bps y-o-y, remained healthy, with the PBILDT margin declining to 19.43% in FY26
from 24.43% in FY25. The decline was primarily attributable to lower revenue from spares and services, and higher employee
costs and other expenses related to testing and approval costs associated with new orders. Despite the moderation in operating
profitability, the profit after tax (PAT) margin improved to 14.02% in FY26 from 12.78% in FY25, supported by lower interest and
tax expenses and higher non-operating income.
Comfortable capital structure and debt coverage indicators
SRL’s debt profile mainly comprises working capital borrowings, term loans and bank guarantee (BG)-backed customer advances.
Capital structure of SRL continued to remain comfortable marked by overall gearing at 0.22x with a net worth base of ₹215.48
crore as on March 31, 2026, compared to 0.39x as on March 31, 2025. The improvement was driven by repayment of term debt
and augmentation of net worth following fresh equity infusion through the initial public offer (IPO) undertaken in August 2025.
Debt coverage indicators continued to remain comfortable marked by total debt to gross cash accruals (TD/GCA) and interest
coverage (PBILDT/interest) of 1.78x and 8.42x, respectively, in FY26 (PY: 2.76x and 5.29x, respectively).
Reputed clientele base
SRL primarily focuses on securing and executing naval (marine) orders, specialising in manufacturing and installing heating
ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems for ships and submarines. SRL has developed long-term established relationship
with prominent industry players, including Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers Limited (rated ‘CARE AAA; Stable/ CARE
A1+’); Mazagon Docks Shipbuilders Limited and Goa Shipyard Limited (rated ‘CARE AAA; Stable/ CARE A1+’). SRL generated
~69% of its total operating income from its top three customers (PY: ~73%). This exposes the company’s performance to
