| Rating Rationale |
|
Acuité has reaffirmed the long term rating of ‘ACUITE BB’ (read as ACUITE double B) on the Rs. 6.00 crore bank facilities of North Gujarat Sat Isabgul Industries Private Limited (NGPL). The rating continues to be flagged as “Issuer Not Co-operating” and is based on best available information.
|
| About the Company |
|
Gujarat based, NGPL was incorporated in 1976 by Mr. Himashu Patel, Mr. Narendra Kumar Patel and Mr. Mihir Patel. The company is engaged in manufacturing and processing of isabgul. The key raw material is Psyllium seed which are procured from APMC Unjha. Further, the company has installed capacity of 21 MT per day in seeds and 6MT per day in husk.
|
| 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 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 is therefore being flagged as “Issuer not co-operating”, 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 endeavoured 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.
