Rating Strengths and Considerations
Crisil Ratings highlighted several key strengths supporting the rating, including adequate capitalisation backed by comfortable earnings profile and strong promoter credentials. The promoter group held 56.3% stake as on September 30, 2025, with experienced management including Mr. Naveen Kottala as CEO and Mr. Aakash Jain as CFO.
However, the rating also considers challenges such as small scale of operations compared to industry size and limited seasoning of the portfolio. The company's outstanding borrowings of Rs.375 crore as on September 30, 2025 comprised NCDs (21%), term loans (41%), cash credit facilities (7%) and inter-corporate deposits (31%).
Market Position and Outlook
Finkurve is part of the Augmont group, India's premier bullion trading entity, which provides comprehensive gold ecosystem spanning importing, refining and distribution. The stable outlook reflects Crisil's belief that the company will continue benefiting from extensive promoter and management experience along with adequate capitalisation.
The rating agency expects the company to maintain steady state gearing below 3 times over the medium term, with capital position supported by strong promoter holding and steady accretion to reserves.
