Rating Rationale

Acuite has ­downgraded its long-term rating to ‘ACUITE BB’ (read as ACUITE Double B) from ‘ACUITE BBB+’ (read as ACUITE triple B Plus) and the short term rating to ‘ACUITE A4+’ (read as ACUITE A Four Plus) from 'ACUITE A2' (read as ACUITE A two) to the Rs.720.00 Cr. bank facilities of D Y Uppar and Sons.

The rating is now flagged as “Issuer Not-Cooperating” and is based on the best information available. The rating is downgraded on account of information risk.  


About the Company

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 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.
