Rating Rationale
­Acuité has reaffirmed & withdrawn the long-term rating of ‘ACUITE BB’ (read as ACUITE double B) on the Rs.11.00 Cr. bank facilities of Aditya Oil Industries (AOI). The rating withdrawal is in accordance with Acuité’s policy on withdrawal of rating. The rating is flagged as “Issuer NotCooperating”. The rating is being withdrawn on account of request received from the company and NOC received from the banker.

The partners of the firm are Mr. Nitinbhai Govindbhai Patel, Mr. Amitbhai Govindbhai Patel, and Mr. Kushalbhai Nitinbhai Patel. The firm is engaged in the extraction of oil from cotton seeds as well as ginning and pressing. The plant is located in Kadi, Gujarat, and has a capacity of 100MT per month.
 
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 an 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 endeavoured 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 ratingis based.
