| Rating Rationale |
|
Acuité has reaffirmed the long-term rating of ‘ACUITE BB-’ (read as ACUITE double B minus) on the Rs.40.00 Cr bank facilities of Fortpoint Automotive Mumbai Private Limited (FAMPL). The rating is now flagged as “Issuer Not-Cooperating” on account of information risk.
|
| About the Company |
|
FAMPL was incorporated in 2005 by Mr. Sandeep Bafna and is part of the Fortpoint group. The company is an authorized dealer of Eicher in Mumbai and deals in heavy duty vehicles, light medium duty vehicles, and buses and also deals in spare parts. Company operates through a showroom and three workshops.
|
| 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 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.
