Rating Rationale

Acuité has downgraded the long term rating to ‘ACUITE B+’ (read as ACUITE B plus) from ‘ACUITE BB-’ (read as ACUITE double B minus) and the short-term rating to ‘ACUITE A4’ (read as ACUITE A four) from ‘ACUITE A4+’ (read as ACUITE A four plus) on the Rs. 26.00 crore bank facilities of JCC Infraprojects Private Limited(JIPL). The rating continues to be flagged as “Issuer Not-Cooperating” and is downgraded on account of information risk.

About the Company

JIPL, incorporated in 2014 (the erstwhile Jain Construction Co., a partnership firm established in 1986) is an Ajmer-based company promoted by Ajay Kumar Jain and family. The Company engaged in construction of railways siding, broad gauge conversion, government buildings like hospitals, colleges and railways stations, major & minor bridge etc.

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 continues to be 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 iinvestors regarding the use of such information, on which the indicative credit
rating is based.
