Rating Rationale

­Acuité has downgraded the long-term rating to ‘ACUITE B-’ (read as ACUITE B minus) from 'ACUITE B' (read as ACUITE B) on the Rs. 60.00 crore bank facility of Kaalaangi Infrastructure Private Limited (KIPL) on account of information risk. The rating continues to be flagged as “Issuer Not-Cooperating” and is based on the best available information.


About the Company

­Kaalaangi Infrastructure Private Limited (KIPL) was incorporated in 2012 by J.S. Satish Kumar and D. Balasubramanian with an objective to build and manage international residential school named “Yercaud international school” at Yercaud Salem. Since Government of Tamil Nadu has laid stringent regulations for approvals for construction activities in hilly areas, there was a delay in obtaining required approvals from “Tamil Nadu Hill area conservation Authority” and “Architectural and Aesthetic Aspects committee”. In June 2021, KIPL has acquired all the required approvals for the construction of the proposed school from the concerned authorities. Due to the delay in obtaining approvals, the company started managing operations of Hostel and Mess facilities of Annapoorna Medical college and Hospital, salem from August 2019.

 
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 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.
