Acuité Ratings has assigned a long-term rating of ACUITE A- (Stable) and a short-term rating of ACUITE A2+ to Orient Ceratech Limited's bank loan facilities totaling Rs. 75 crore. The rating factors in the company's 40+ year operational track record, experienced promoters, improved scale of operations, and healthy financial risk profile with low gearing of 0.25x. Constraints include moderately intensive working capital operations, exposure to raw material price volatility (pet coke, alumina), and forex risk. The group's revenue grew to Rs. 327.58 crore in FY25, with management targeting Rs. 400+ crore in FY26. PAT declined to Rs. 9.93 crore in FY25 from Rs. 19.02 crore in FY24 due to higher employee costs, power expenses, and interest costs.
A first-time investment-grade credit rating (A-/Stable) from a SEBI-registered agency signals lender confidence and may improve Orient Ceratech's access to debt at competitive rates. Stable outlook with adequate liquidity supports business continuity, though declining profitability margins in FY25 warrant monitoring.
