Rating Rationale
­Acuité has reaffirmed the long-term rating to ‘ACUITE BB+’ (read as ACUITE Double B Plus) on Rs.21.00 crore bank facilities of DTC PROJECTS PRIVATE LIMITED (DTCP).  The rating continues to be flagged as “Issuer Not-Cooperating” and is based on the best available information.

About the Company
­Incorporated in 1995, DTC Projects Private Limited (DTCP) is a Kolkata based company, engaged in carrying out the business of development and construction of residential and commercial projects. Currently, the company is headed by Mr. Ayush Jalan, Mr. Dinesh Jalan and Mrs. Poonam Jalan, who has more than two decades of experience in the industry. The company is constructing and developing an integrated township project “DTC Southern Heights” in Kolkata. The total project area is around 1.5 million square feet which is divided into three phases of around 0.5 million square feet each. 
 
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 endeavored 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.
