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.10.00 crore bank facilities of Kedia Agencies Private Limited (KAPL) 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

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.
