In a regulatory filing made after market hours on Monday, Anant Raj (ARL) said that CRISIL Ratings has assigned its 'CRISIL BBB/Stable/CRISIL A3+ ratings to the bank loan facilities of the company.

CRISIL Ratings stated that the rating reflects continuation of strong performance of the residential real estate segment of the company over the medium term.

The residential segment is expected to see sales booking increase to over Rs 1800-2000 crore per annum over the medium term, from FY2024 levels of approximately Rs 1400 crore. Collections are also expected to sustain over Rs 1300-1600 crore over the medium term.

The residential business continued to be minimally leveraged (no outstanding loans for existing projects, apart from existing NCDs of approximately Rs 65 crore) and the management expects no major debt to be availed for the residential real estate business.

The company is majorly executing residential projects (including plots, floors, villas and group housing) in Sector 63A, Gurgaon. The company has developed affordable housing project in Neemrana and is currently developing one affordable housing project in Tirupati.

The rating also factors the rental cash flows of nearly Rs 40 crore per year being received by ARL from the portfolio of rented commercial properties located in the NCR region. Further, ARL has also ventured into setting up data centers.

The strengths are partially offset by exposure to risks inherent in the real estate sector, geographical concentration of projects (the groups dependence on the Gurugram real estate market is elevated), exposure to intense competition and vulnerability to cyclicality and risks inherent in the real estate industry.

Additionally, scaling up of the data centers vertical, leasing of the new capacity as well as debt trajectory, along with sales and collection momentum in the residential real estate vertical will remain a key monitorable.

Anant Raj currently develops projects in and around Delhi-NCR with major projects in Sector 63 A in Gurgaon. Additionally, the company is also expanding its existing commercial properties in Delhi and is setting up its data center verticals.
