The rating has been withdrawn on Acuite's policy of withdrawal of ratings. The rating has been withdrawn on account of the request received from the company, and the NOC received from the banker.

Rationale for the reaffirmation

These strengths are, however, offset by the working capital intensive in nature of operations along with the average financial risk profile.­

The working capital-intensive nature of operations of the company is marked by high Gross Current Asset days (GCA) of 140 as on 31st March 2022 as compared to 171 days of 31st March 2021 due to significantly changes in high other current asset which consists of other deposit, prepaid expenses material on loans etc. However, the debtor days stood comfortable at 67 days as on 31st March 2022 as compared to 108 days as on 31st March 2021. The inventory period stood relatively low at 30 days as on 31st March 2022 as compared to 32 days 31st March 2021 respectively. Acuité believes that the working capital management of

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.
