  • ZF Hero Chassis Systems Private Limited: Ratings Reaffirmed Rationale
    June 23, 2021 ZF Hero Chassis Systems Private Limited: Ratings reaffirmed Summary of rating action Instrument* Previous Rated Amount Current Rated Amount Rating Action (Rs. crore) (Rs. crore) Fund-based – Cash Credit 30.00 30.00 [ICRA]A- (Stable); Reaffirmed Facilities Non-fund Based – Working 4.00 4.00 [ICRA]A2+; Reaffirmed Capital Facilities Total 34.00 34.00 *Instrument details are provided in Annexure-1 Rationale The rating reaffirmation favourably factors in the stable operational profile of ZF Hero Chassis Systems Private Limited (ZF Hero), wherein the company is a chassis systems supplier to BMW. The company is a 50:50 joint venture (JV) between ZF India Private Limited (100% subsidiary of ZF Friedrichshafen AG, Germany) and Hero Cycles Limited (HCL), India. It benefits from its strong parentage in terms of access to latest technologies, as well as operational support in the form of access to an established customer base. The strong relationships enjoyed by the ZF Group with European passenger vehicle (PV) original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) globally, including BMW, and its strong technical capabilities in car-chassis technology have supported ZF Hero in securing business from BMW in India. ZF Hero primarily undertakes assembly operations of key chassis components such as front suspension, rear axle and corner module for BMW and is present in all major existing and upcoming models of the OEM, thereby improving its revenue visibility and growth prospects. Nevertheless, being a single-customer company, its revenue growth will continue to be linked to demand for BMW’s models in the Indian market. ZF Hero’s sales volume declined by ~30% to 6,229 units in FY2021 primarily due to the adverse impact of the pandemic on the demand for luxury cars.
