    February 05, 2020 SML Isuzu Limited: Rating assigned to enhanced amount Summary of rating action Previous Rated Current Rated Instrument* Rating Action Amount (Rs. crore) Amount (Rs. crore) Cash Credit 18.00 18.00 [ICRA]AA-(Negative); Outstanding Long term Fund based Term Loan 0.00 40.00 [ICRA]AA-(Negative); Assigned [ICRA]A1+; Assigned to enhanced Short-term Fund-Based Limits 137.00 172.00 amount Short-term Non-fund based limits 30.00 30.00 [ICRA]A1+; Outstanding Commercial Paper 50.00 50.00 [ICRA]A1+; Outstanding Total 235.00 310.00 *Instrument details are provided in Annexure-1 Rationale The rating continues to factor SML Isuzu Limited’s (SML’s) strong parentage from Sumitomo Corporation (43.96% as on September 30, 2019), its strong market position in the school and executive bus segment in India, and healthy, albeit weakening, financial profile. Although SML does not have direct business synergies with Sumitomo Corporation, its ownership lends both managerial as well as strategic support to the company besides supporting its creditworthiness among the financiers. This has enabled SML to raise funds from banks or financial institutions at competitive rates. The promoters have active representation on the company’s board and in the senior management. At present, four out of 12 members of the board are representatives of Sumitomo Corporation, and the current managing director is also from Sumitomo Corporation. The company’s strong presence in the school and executive bus segment in India is supported by its strong brand and expanding sales channel. Unlike the domestic CV industry, most of SML’s sales is generated by the bus segment (60% in FY2019), with school buses constituting approximately 70% of its total bus sales.
