Rating Rationale

­­Acuite has downgraded its long-term rating to 'ACUITE BB' (read as ACUITE double B) from 'ACUITE BB+' (read as ACUITE double B plus) and reaffirmed the short-term rating of 'ACUITE A4+' (read as ACUITE A four plus) on the Rs.54.06 Cr. bank facilities of Akshat Plastics Private Limited (APPL). 
The downgraded is on account of information risk. The rating is now flagged as “Issuer Not-Cooperating” on account of information risk and is based on the best available information.

Unsupported Rating
­Not Applicable
 
Non-cooperation by the issuer/borrower
­­Acuité has been requesting for data, information and undertakings from the rated entity for conducting surveillance & review of the rating. However, the issuer/borrower failed to submit such information before the due date. Acuité believes that information risk is a critical component in such ratings, and non-cooperation by the issuer along with unwillingness to provide information could be a sign of potential deterioration in its overall credit quality. This rating is, therefore, being flagged as “Issuer not-cooperating”, in line with prevailing SEBI regulations and Acuité’s policies.
