BWR has essentially relied upon the audited financial results of the firm for FY15, provisional
financials up to 31st Oct, 2015, projected financials upto FY17, publicly available information and
information/clarifications provided by the firm's management.
The rating has factored, inter alia, long standing experience of promoters in same line of
activity, the locational advantage of the manufacturing unit, gradual increase in production and
sales over last year. Current industry seen is also beneficial. However, the ratings are
constrained by thin profitability margins achieved previously, inherent risks of volatility in
prices and intense competition from organized as well as unorganized players.
