Rating Rationale

­Acuité has reaffirmed the long-term rating of ‘ACUITE D’ (read as ACUITE D) on the Rs. 26.50 Crore bank facilities of Dhruv Cotfab Private Limited. The rating continues to be flagged as “Issuer Not Cooperating” and is based on the best available information.


About the Company

­Incorporated in 2000, Dhruv Cotfab Private Limited (DCPL) has set up a cotton ginning, pressing and crushing facility at Kadi in Gujarat with the operations commencing from February 2014. The plant is equipped with thirty two ginning machines and one pressing machine having the production capacity of 17,280 Metric Tonnes Per Annum (MTPA) and fifteen expellers having crushing capacity of 17,550 MTPA. (Considering 180 working days in a year) The promoters of the company have a long standing experience of about a decade in the cotton industry through their associate concern, Dhruv Oil Mill which is engaged into cottonseed oil manufacturing. The company is promoted by Mr. Suresh Kumar Babulal Jani, Mrs Sucheta Dhruv Kumar Jani and Mr. Kuldeep Amritbhai.

 
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 enders 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.
