In the original PR dated May 10, 2023 the statement regarding 'account had been classified as NPA' under "Rating Rationale" was erroneously captured which has now been revised in this version.

Rating Rationale

ACUITE has downgraded & withdrawn the long term rating to ‘ACUITE D’ (read as ACUITE D) from‘ACUITE B+’ (read as ACUITE B plus) on the Rs.35.00 Cr. bank facilities of Pluto Plaza Private Limited (PPPL). The rating continues to be flagged as “Issuer Not Cooperating” and is based on the best available information. The rating has been withdrawn on account of request received from the company and NOC received from the banker. The downgrade is on account of the feedback received from the banker.

About the Company

Pluto Plaza Private Limited (PPPL), an Odisha based Company was incorporated in 2005. The Directors are Mr. Hanuman Khedaria, Ms. Mamta Khedaria, and Ms. Alka Kadmawala. It is engaged in the construction of a shopping mall of around 3.5 lakh square feet (sqft) with the name ‘Pluto Plaza’. ­

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 noncooperation 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.­

Limitation regarding information availability:

­The rating is based on information available from sources other than the issuer/borrower (in the absence of information provided by the issuer/borrower). Acuité endeavored to gather information about the entity/industry from the public domain. Therefore, Acuité cautions lenders and investors regarding the use of such information, on which the indicative credit rating is based.

Note on complexity levels of the rated instrument

­In order to inform the investors about complexity of instruments, Acuité has categorized such instruments in three levels: Simple, Complex and Highly Complex. Acuite’s categorisation of the instruments across the three categories is based on factors like variability of the returns to the investors, uncertainty in cash flow patterns, number of counterparties and general understanding of the instrument by the market. It has to be understood that complexity is different from credit risk and even an instrument categorized as 'Simple' can carry high levels of risk. For more details, please refer Rating Criteria “Complexity Level Of Financial Instruments” on www.acuite.in.
