Rating Rationale |
|
Acuité has downgraded a long term rating to ‘ACUITE BB+’ (read as ACUITE double B plus) from ‘ACUITE BBB’ (read as ACUITE triple B) and the short-term rating to 'ACUITE A4+' (read as ACUITE A four plus) from ‘ACUITE A3+’ (read as ACUITE A three plus) to the Rs 66.14 crore bank facilities of B C Bhuyan Construction Private Limited. The rating is now flagged as “Issuer Not Cooperating” based on account of information risk.
Acuite had sent repeated reminders to the company for sharing critical information and documents for surveillance of the ratings; but, despite multiple requests; the company’s management has remained non-cooperative in providing any information. However, the banker has provided their feedback that the conduct of the account is satisfactory. |

| 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.
|
| 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 ratings 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.
