Rating Rationale
­Acuité has reaffirmed the long-term rating of ‘ACUITE D’ (read as ACUITE D) and short term rating of 'ACUITE D' (read as ACUITE D) on the Rs 8.75 crore bank facilities of Associated Insulation Company (AIC). The rating continues to be flagged as “Issuer Not-Cooperating” and is based on the best available information.

About the Company
­AIC is a Vadodara (Gujarat) based partnership firm established in 1986. The firm promoted by Mr. M.V. Dhuvad and Mr. C.M. Dhuvad is engaged in undertaking thermal insulation works for power plants, oil refineries, petro chemicals units, fertilizer plants and other manufacturing units. AIC is approved and registered with reputed Indian and overseas consultants, including TOYO Engineering India Limited, Engineers India Limited, TATA Consulting Engineers and Samsung Engineering, among others.
 
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.
