Rationale and key rating drivers
Upgrade in ratings assigned to bank facilities of Mafatlal Industries Limited (MIL) reflects significant growth in its scale of
operations in the last three years while exhibiting sustainability of profit margins and healthy order book visibility, translating into
improvement in the company’s liquidity position and debt coverage metrics. CARE Ratings Limited (CareEdge Ratings) expects
sustained performance in the medium term owing to its established market position in textile segment, primarily the B2B uniform
segment, diversification across business segments and focus on relatively higher-margin business. MIL’s total operating income
grew at a compounded annualised growth rate (CAGR) of ~40% from FY23-FY26 to ₹3,871 crore in FY26 supported by steady
performance of textile and related products and digital infrastructure segments. Its profit before interest, lease rentals,
depreciation, and taxation (PBILDT) margin sustained in the range of 2-2.5% p.a. in the last three years. The rating action also
factors significant improvement in MIL’s liquidity position over the years with sizeable free cash and liquid investments of ~₹130
crore, in addition to sizeable encumbered fixed deposits towards performance bank guarantees, with a net cash surplus as on
March 31, 2026. MIL reported operating income of ₹942 crore in Q1FY27, with a PBILDT margin of 1.92%. Performance in the
quarter reflected the segmental revenue mix and timing of order execution. With the company’s focus on higher margin business
and revenue visibility from confirmed unexecuted order book of ~₹890 crore as on June 30, 2026, CareEdge Ratings expects
MIL’s performance to remain steady in the medium term translating into adequate cash accruals.
Ratings continue to favourably factor in MIL’s experienced promoters with a track record of over 12 decades in the textile business
and its healthy scale of operations and diversification of business across operating segments with healthy revenue visibility. MIL’s
healthy capital structure, debt coverage metrics and financial flexibility from sizeable free liquidity and investments in listed entities
supports ratings.
However, ratings remain tempered by MIL’s moderate profitability given its asset-light outsourcing business, receivables risk
considering revenue concentration from government tenders and exposure to technology risks in its digital infrastructure business
segment and dependence on creditors to meet working capital requirements.
Rating sensitivities: Factors likely to lead to rating actions
Positive factors
• Significant growth in scale of operations while improving PBILDT margin above 4% on a sustained basis.
• Improvement in total outside liabilities to tangible net worth (TOL/TNW) below 0.75x.
Negative factors
• Deteriorating operating margin below 2% on a sustained basis.
• Deteriorating overall gearing above 0.5x and total debt/PBILDT above 2.5x
• Deterioration in the company’s liquidity profile.
• Significantly declining value of MIL’s investment in NOCIL Limited.
Analytical approach: Consolidated
CareEdge Ratings has considered the consolidated financial statements of MIL and its subsidiaries while arriving at ratings given
the operational and strategic linkages between them. Entities consolidated are listed under Annexure-5.
