ICRA has revised the long-term rating assigned to the Rs. 150.00 crore * long-term, term loans/buyers
credit facility and USD 10 million long-term, buyers credit facility of Fourcee Infrastructure Equipments
Private Limited (Fourcee or the company) to [ICRA]BBB (pronounced ICRA triple B) from [ICRA]A(pronounced ICRA A minus). ICRA has revised the ratings for the Rs. 100.00 crore long-term/ shortterm working capital facilities of the company to [ICRA]BBB/ [ICRA]A3+ (pronounced ICRA triple B/
ICRA A three plus). ICRA has also placed the ratings under rating watch with negative implications.
In a recent development, the PE Investors in the company General Atlantic and India Equity Partners
have resigned from the Board of the company and have filed a petition with the Company Law Board
(CLB) to seek remedies including appointment of a CLB appointed administrator to take control of
Fourcee, and to conduct a further investigation into the Companys financial affairs.
The company has not yet provided the audited accounts for year ending March 2013. While ICRA is
awaiting further details from the company, the recent developments, in ICRAs opinion, put a serious
question mark on the governance system at Fourcee. ICRA also believes that these developments can
adversely impact the financial flexibility of the company. ICRA would take further rating action, as may
be deemed appropriate, on receiving further clarity on these developments.
Company Profile
Established in 2007 by Mr. Vinay Singh and Mr. Rajesh Lihala, Fourcee is an end-to-end liquid
logistics provider with operations across India. The company transports liquid cargo in internationally
certified tank containers by railway network. Fourcee owns tank containers and specializes in the
transportation of non-POL liquids like chemicals, petrochemicals (CBFS), edible oil, molasses, and
liquid-like materials like alumina and cement. The company also provides the first and last mile

has also set up Container Maintenance and Repair (CMR) stations at Kandla, Kashipur (Uttarakhand),
Mumbai and Hazira to provide cleaning, maintenance and repair services to its containers. The
company, in October 2011, entered into a 50:50 joint venture (JV) with India Glycols Limited to form
Kashipur Infrastructure & Freight Terminals Private Limited, for setting up a private freight terminal in
Kashipur, which is expected to commence operations by March 2013.
The companys growth over the last couple of years has been supported by multiple instances of
private equity infusion into the company. General Atlantic (GA) and India Equity Partners (IEP) are the
current private equity investors in the company; currently, the investments are in the form of CCPS and
post conversion of CCPS into equity shares, GA and IEP are expected hold ~62% stake in the
company, with the balance stake held by the promoters.
