Indo Farm Equipment's Credit Ratings Reaffirmed by Infomerics with Stable Outlook
The reaffirmation of existing credit ratings with a stable outlook suggests no significant change in the company's credit risk profile, thus maintaining the status quo for its borrowing costs and market perception without new positive or negative developments.
The credit ratings were reaffirmed with a stable outlook, indicating consistency in the company's credit profile. While there were improvements in debt protection metrics and financial risk profile, there was also a decline in operating profitability and an elongated working capital cycle, presenting a balanced view.
Infomerics Valuation and Rating Private Limited has reaffirmed the credit ratings for Indo Farm Equipment Limited (INDOFARM) on August 8, 2025, taking into account the company's operational and financial performance up to FY2025.
* The Long Term Bank facilities rating has been reaffirmed at IVR A- / Stable (IVR A Minus with Stable Outlook). * The Short Term Bank facilities rating has been reaffirmed at IVR A2+ (IVR A Two Plus). * The total bank facilities amount is ₹104.34 crore, comprising Long Term Bank facilities of ₹85.64 crore (reduced from ₹137.47 crore) and Short Term Bank facilities of ₹18.70 crore (enhanced from ₹15.20 crore). * Key rating strengths highlighted include an established track record of over two decades in manufacturing agricultural and construction equipment, experienced management, a widespread dealer network across India and exports to over 9 countries, and an improved debt protection metrics and financial risk profile in FY2025. The overall adjusted gearing improved to 0.22x in FY2025 from 0.61x in FY2024, and the adjusted tangible networth increased to ₹438.72 crore in FY2025 from ₹272.13 crore in FY2024. * Key rating weaknesses include a decline in operating profitability margins to 12.84% in FY2025 from 13.56% in FY2024, an elongated working capital cycle of 260 days in FY2025 primarily due to a high inventory holding period, stiff competition in the Indian tractor industry, exposure to its group company Barota Finance Limited (an NBFC subsidiary) through investments and corporate guarantees, and the cyclical nature of the industry due to its reliance on the tractor and mobile crane divisions. * For FY2025, the company reported a Total Operating Income (TOI) of ₹366.77 crore and a Profit After Tax (PAT) of ₹22.61 crore. * Infomerics believes that IFEL's business risk profile will be maintained over the medium term, supported by an adequate liquidity position.
