India Ratings and Research stated that the rating reflects Trident's healthy consolidated business profile, resilient operating performance, and healthy credit metrics, all of which the agency expects the company to sustain, despite the tariff-linked uncertainties.
With the completion of the capacity expansion programme, the company began deleveraging in line with India Ratings' expectation and will continue to deleverage further with incremental EBITDA generation from the completed capex and the absence of major capex plans.
The rating is further supported by Trident's sustainable margins in the paper segment despite a reduction in paper industry margins, which were impacted by an increase in raw material prices.
India Ratings expects the margins to remain at 12%-14%, with a likely stabilisation of margins in both textiles and paper segments as well as continued government support in the form of various fiscal incentives.
However, the rating remains constrained by high geographical and customer concentration, intense competition, raw material volatility, and forex risks.
The agency further said that a substantial increase in the scale of operations and profitability margins with the geographical and customer diversification coupled with a healthy ROCE while maintaining sound financial metrics with the consolidated net adjusted leverage reducing below 1.0x, all on a sustained basis, would be positive for the rating.
However, a large debt-funded capex or inorganic acquisitions, a decline in liquidity buffers and a significant reduction in sales and profitability, resulting in a drop in the ROCE and the consolidated net adjusted leverage exceeding 2.0x, all on a sustained basis, would be negative for the rating.
Trident manufactures cotton yarn, terry towels, bed linen and paper. It has three manufacturing facilities located in Dhaula and Sanghera (Punjab) and Budhni (Madhya Pradesh). The company also has a paper manufacturing capacity and a chemical manufacturing capacity for sulphuric acid.
The scrip had declined 2.48% to end at Rs 24.78 on the BSE yesterday.

Valued Customer,
BOB Capital Markets Limited (BOBCaps) is firmly committed to the safety of your wealth. We would like to bring to your notice certain precautions that you certainly must take against potential tele-fraudsters/ unscrupulous and unregistered portfolio managers:
ALWAYS AVOID
We would like to caution you against such fraudulent calls and SMSes and urge you to be alert. Follow the golden rule:
Do not share your Login Credentials or Passwords with anybody
BOBCaps employees / representatives never ask for your password.
Certain tele-fraudsters / unscrupulous and unregistered portfolio managers call customers or SMS them on the pretext of providing investment tips and lure them to invest through their bogus firms by promising huge profits.
Such deceitful callers ask the customer to share his/her login credentials with passwords to allow trading in their accounts, assuring huge returns.
Often trades done in the customer’s accounts are far from the best interest of the customers. Holdings of customers are often sold and with the funds, trades are then placed in illiquid securities at unrealistic prices.
At times, the holdings of customers are sold at prices detrimental to the customer. The so-called “portfolio manager” assures profits, which naturally does not materialize. Customers are deceived into providing access to their trading accounts, thereby allowing such fraudsters access to funds and securities available to execute trades, injurious to the customer’s interest.
In our continuous effort to keep you safeguard from the market related frauds and increase awareness while conducting trades, we request you to go through the Press Release issued by the NSE and would request you to ensure that you do not engage with the individuals and entities mentioned below:
