RATING & COMMENTS

(Mira Inform has adopted New Rating mechanism w.e.f. 23rd January 2017)

 

MIRA’s Rating :

A

 

Credit Rating

Explanation

Rating Comments

A

Acceptable Risk

Business dealings permissible with moderate risk of default

 

Status :

Satisfactory

 

 

Payment Behaviour :

Slow but correct

 

 

Litigation :

Clear

 

 

Comments :

Subject is a subsidiary “Philips India Limited”. It is an established company having satisfactory track record.

 

Management has failed to file its financials for the year 2017 with Registrar of Companies.

 

The rating reflects company’s significant improvement into its business risk profile with healthy infusion of the capital during the financial year 2016 by the promoters, due to which the company has able to successfully wipe-off its accumulated losses during the year.

 

The rating takes into consideration company’s extensive experienced promoters’ established brand presence, diversified product portfolio and strong financial and managerial support from its holding company.

 

This rating strength is partially offset by the continuous losses from its operations and company’s presence in intensely competitive kitchen appliances industry and the susceptibility of its operating profitability to volatility in raw material prices and foreign exchange rates.

 

Payment seems to be slow but correct.

 

In view of aforesaid, the company can be considered for normal business dealings at usual trade terms and conditions.

PREETHI PINS HOPES ON INDUCTION COOKERS, GRINDERS

 

AHMEDABAD, JUNE 21, 2016

 

With cooking gas subsidy gradually being reduced and electricity availability improving in the hinterland, Chennai-based Preethi Kitchen Appliances, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Philips India looks at a robust business opportunity for its appliances like induction cookers along with mixer grinders. 

 

Looking at the robust growth opportunity with changing macro-economic situation, the company looks to increase its market share in the country's INR 2,500-crore-odd mixer grinder industry from current 15 per cent to about 20 per cent in the next five years. 

 

“Electricity availability is a major factor. Also, with subsidy going away, induction will grow faster. They are expanding our reach from Southern Market to Central and Eastern market like Gujarat, Maharashtra and Odisha. During 2012, they had seen a spurt in the induction cooking platforms due to rationing of subsidised gas cylinders. But the same had started declining after the new government lifted the limit on number of cylinders," said Rupendra Yadav, Chief Executive Offier, Preethi Kitchen Appliances Pvt Ltd. 

 

Yadav refused to share the revenue numbers, however, he maintained that the company had achieved 11.5 per cent growth last year, and expects to achieve higher growth this year with increased market presence and new product launches. 

 

The company launched its multi-function Zodiac Mixer Grinder in Gujarat. The company has also applied for a patent for first of its kind centrifugal juicer jar, which is used for fresh fruit juices.
