As per CARE, the ratings have been revised on account of decline in scale of operations and incurrence of losses during FY18 and lower than expected cash accruals. This is mainly on account of disruptions in the coal operations for around five months of FY18 as well as weak performance of dredging segment. The debt coverage indicators are also expected to be moderate in the medium term.

The Company would like to inform that the coal operations have commenced in February 2018 and have reached optimum levels in April 2018.
