The ratings of Inducto Steel (ISL) continues to be constrained by risk inherent in ship breaking, steel trading and money-lending businesses, low and volatile profitability margins, highly leveraged capital structure and foreign exchange fluctuation risk. The ratings however continue to factor in the extensive experience of the promoters in the ship-breaking activities and favourable outlook for the industry on account of continuing downturn in the shipping industry.
