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.12.87 crore bank facilities of Maheshwar Multitrade Private Limited 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

The firm was converted into private limited company in 2010. The company is engaged in the processing of edible oil - primarily groundnut, cotton seeds, sunflower oil, soybean oil and vegetable oil. The company also trades in shelled groundnuts, rice, sugar, raw cashew, Indian maize and pulses. The operating capacity stands at 200 tons per day of seed crushing unit and 30 metric tons per day of refinery of which the current utilisation is about 80 per cent. The company sells edible oil under the 'Ganesh' brand name.
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.
