Multichem Specialities Private Limited: Instrument Amount (Rs. Crore) Rating Action
Multichem Specialities Private Limited: Instrument Amount (Rs. Crore) Rating Action
ICRA has reaffirmed the long-term rating of [ICRA]B+ (pronounced ICRA B plus) assigned to the Rs. 4.00
crore1 long term fund based limits which are a sublimit of the Short term non fund based limits, and has also
reaffirmed the short term rating of [ICRA]A4 (pronounced ICRA A four) assigned to the Rs. 19.00 crore
(enhanced from Rs. 15.00 crore) non fund based facilities and assigned for Rs. 1.00 crore (increased from Rs.
0.00 crore) unallocated limits of Multichem Specialities Pvt. Ltd. (MSPL) 1†.
The rating reaffirmation takes into account the long and established track record of the promoters in the
chemical trading business and MSPL’s diversified set of customers and suppliers leading to a low customer
and supplier concentration risk.
The ratings are, however, constrained by MSPL’s stretched financial risk profile indicated by high gearing
levels, weak debt protection metrics and high utilization of working capital limits. The ratings are further
constrained by vulnerability of the profitability margins to foreign currency fluctuations on account of high
proportion of imports which is compounded by exposure to foreign currency financing. The ratings continue to
factor in the high competitive intensity in the fragmented chemical trading business and thin margins in
business because of limited value addition.
