Rating Rationale |
|
Acuité has downgraded its long-term rating to ‘ACUITE C’ (read as ACUITE C) from ‘ACUITE BBB-’ (read as ACUITE triple B minus) and its short-term rating to ‘ACUITE A4’ (read as ACUITE A four) from ‘ACUITE A3’ (read as ACUITE A three) on the Rs. 145.00 crore bank facilities of Dharamraj Contracts India Private Limited (DCIPL).
Acuite had sent repeated reminders to the company for sharing critical information for surveillance of the ratings. But despite multiple requests, the company has remained non-cooperative in providing the information. The rating is now flagged as “Issuer Not-Cooperating” and is based on best available information. The rating is downgraded on account of delays reflected in servicing of term loan obligations in credit bureau information report of the company and non submission of NDS for the last 03 months. |

| Non-cooperation by the issuer/borrower |
|
Acuité has been requesting for No Default Statements (NDS); however, despite multiple requests; the Company’s management has remained non-cooperative and not submitted the NDS for the preceding 03 consecutive months. 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 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 rating is 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. For more details, please refer Rating Criteria “Complexity Level Of Financial Instruments” on www.acuite.in.
