Rating Rationale
­Acuité has downgraded its long term rating to ‘ACUITE C’ (read as ACUITE C) from ‘ACUITE BB’ (read as ACUITE double ‘B’) on the Rs.24.00 crore bank facilities of Oditi Appliances LLP (OAL). This rating is now an indicative rating and is based on best available information. The rating has been downgraded on account of information risk and the information received from credit bureau report indicating delays in servicing of credit facilities.

About the Company
­Delhi based OAL is a partnership firm incorporated on January 17, 2017 under the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008. The firm is engaged in manufacturing of ceiling fans, electric and gas geysers, LPG stoves and other household appliances. The firm was started as proprietorship firm in 2002. In FY2017, the firm changed its constituency from a proprietorship firm to a partnership firm. As of FY2021, all the proprietorship firms are merged into a single partnership firm, i.e. Oditi Appliances LLP. Mr. Sanjay Pahal, Mrs. Usha Pahal are partners of this firm.
 
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 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.
 
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.
