Detailed Rationale
Crisil Ratings has assigned its ‘Crisil BBB/Stable/Crisil A3+’ ratings to the bank facilities of Sugs Lloyd Limited (SLL).
The ratings reflect extensive experience of the promoters in the electrical transmission and distribution industry, diversified
reach across segments and geographies, with a strong order book, and comfortable financial risk profile of the company.
These strengths are partially offset by working capital-intensive operations and exposure to various risks arising from
intense competition.
Analytical Approach
Crisil Ratings has evaluated the standalone business and financial risk profiles of SLL.
Unsecured loan of Rs 10 crore as on March 31, 2026, has been treated as debt.
Key Rating Drivers - Strengths
Extensive experience of the promoters in the industry: The promoters, Santosh Kumar Shah and Priti Shah, have over
two decades of experience in engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) segment, mainly electrical transmission and
distribution. Strong technical and project management capabilities, gained over the years, and healthy relationships with
suppliers and customers, have ensured repeat order inflow. Successful and timely execution of various EPC contracts has
further ensured steady growth in the scale of operations. Revenue has grown to Rs 300 crore in fiscal 2026, from Rs 23
crore in fiscal 2022. Revenue of Rs 78 crore has been booked for the first quarter of fiscal 2027, and the overall scale
should improve over the medium term.
Diversified reach across segments and geographies, with a strong order book: SLL undertakes projects across
various segments, including solar, electrical and civil EPC, and also manufactures niche electrical products. The well-
diversified project mix helps in negating business over-dependency and mitigates the impact of slowdown of any particular
segment. The company also has a vast reach, spanning Bihar, Delhi, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha,
Punjab and Uttar Pradesh. Healthy order book worth more than Rs 807 crore as on June 30, 2026, to be executed in the
next 12—24 months, offers sufficient revenue visibility for the near term.
Comfortable financial risk profile: Networth stood at Rs 137 crore as on March 31, 2026, driven by equity raising of Rs 72
crore through an initial public offer (IPO) in September 2025 and steady accretion to reserve. However, gearing and total
outside liabilities to adjusted networth (TOLANW) ratio stood at 2.1 times and 2.5 times, respectively, as on March 31, 2025,
owing to high reliance on external debt and creditors to meet working capital requirement. However, the gearing and
TOLANW ratio have improved to 0.5 time and 1 time, respectively, as on March 31, 2026, driven by funds raised via IPO
and is expected to remain below 1 time over the medium term. Debt protection metrics were above-average, as indicated by
interest coverage and net cash accrual to adjusted debt ratios of 6.3 times and 0.4 time, respectively, for fiscal 2026, aided
by healthy profitability. The metrics are likely to remain comfortable over the medium term.
Key Rating Drivers - Weaknesses
Large working capital requirement: The working capital requirement is stretched as indicated by estimated gross current
assets of 265 days as on March 31, 2026, and is further expected to increase over the medium term. This is driven by
stretched receivables of around 245 days, while inventory was moderate at 14 days as on March 31, 2026. Receivables
were stretched owing to large credit period and retention money, with certain receivables not due yet. Inventory primarily
comprises work-progress stock but may increase due to the ongoing projects. With increasing scale of operations, the
working capital requirement will continue to increase, and its effective management will remain monitorable over the
medium term.
Exposure to intense competition: SLL is engaged in design, supply, erection, commissioning of electrical substations and
power distribution and renewable projects. Revenue and profitability entirely depend on the company’s ability to secure
tenders. However, the low entry barriers and modest capital intensity have led to intense competition, which in turn, restricts
the pricing flexibility and bargaining power of players. SLL also faces stiff competition from few large players in the power
transmission business, and aggressive bidding constrains profitability. Ability to maintain profitability via operating
efficiency and undertake high-margin projects remains critical and hence, monitorable.
Liquidity Adequate
Bank limit utilisation was moderate at 85% on average over the 12 months through June 2026. Annual cash accrual is
expected to be Rs 35-40 crore against which the company doesn’t have any debt obligations. In addition, it will cushion
liquidity.
Current ratio was moderate at 2.2 times as on March 31, 2026. The promoters are likely to extend equity and unsecured
loans to cover the working capital requirement and debt servicing. Cash and bank balance was around Rs 25 crore as on
March 31, 2026, majority of which is lien marked.
Outlook Stable
Crisil Ratings believes SLL will continue to benefit from the extensive experience of its promoters, with strong technical
capabilities, and established relationships with clients.
