Rating Rationale
Acuité has reaffirmed the long-term rating of ‘ACUITE B-’ (read as ACUITE B minus) and short term rating of ‘ACUITE A4’ (read as ACUITE A four) on the Rs. 8.50 crore bank facilities of BT Fisheries. The rating continues to be flagged as “Issuer Not-Cooperating” and is based on the best available information.
About the Company

The firm is engaged in fish farming and trading of fishes. It has signed a lease agreement of five years with Madhya Pradesh Fisheries Federation for fishing from the reservoir of Bansagar dam, Katni ' Madhya Pradesh.

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.
