Crore) Rating Term Loan 131.29 SMERA BB-/Stable (Assigned) SMERA has assigned a rating of ‘SMERA BB-’ (read as SMERA double B minus) to the Rs.131.29 crore proposed bank facility of Sahakarmaharshi Bhausaheb Thorat Sahakari Sakhar Karkhana Limited (SBT). The outlook is ‘ Stable’ . The rating is supported by the society’s long track record of operations and comfortable profit margins. The rating is also supported by the proximity of the society’s manufacturing unit to raw material sourcing areas. The rating factors in the potential benefits the society is likely to derive from the co-generation power plant. However, the rating is constrained by the society’s moderate operating scale, working capital-intensive operations and high gearing (debt-to-equity ratio). The rating is also constrained by the society’s presence in a highly regulated sugar industry. The rating factors in risks associated with the proposed modernization and expansion of the society’s existing sugarcane crushing capacity. SBT, established in 1966, is a Maharashtra-based co-operative society engaged in manufacturing of sugar. SBT’s operations have been profitable during the last seven years despite the inherent cyclicality in the sugar industry. The society reported comfortable net profit margin of 5.75 per cent in FY2012–13 (refers to financial year April 01 to March 31). Further, SBT has access to ample supply of raw material as the society’s factory unit is in proximity to sugarcane growing regions (Ahmednagar and Nasik) in Maharashtra.

COVID-19 Pandemic crisis. • Hon’ble Minister, in his opening remark mentioned that, COVID-19 is probably the biggest crisis in human history, where the entire world is fighting with an invisible enemy. Citing some of the examples from across the world, the sheer challenge with Mumbai, Maharashtra and to India is that of the biggest & dense population. Shri. Aaditya Thackeray • In order to fight with this, apart from lockdown, social distancing and Minister, Tourism and other measures, Maharashtra has focused extensively on rapid Environment, GoM testing of COVID-19 patients. • As on last evening, there were 75,858 COVID tests have been carried out, among which only 6% tested positive. Among the positives, 84% of the cases are found with non symptomatic patients, 14% are with mild symptoms and 2% with visible symptoms. Therefore, the spread of COVID would reduce once we identify such patients at early stage and treat them. • This is very crucial turning point where globally, the Health Industry is going to transform completely. Today worldwide, there is shortage of hospitals, beds to treat patients, mask, PPE kits etc. This is because, the world up until had never felt the need of these things at such large scale.
