Rating Rationale

Acuité has reaffirmed the long-term rating of ‘ACUITE D’ (read as ACUITE D) and reaffirmed the Short-term rating of ‘ACUITE D’ (read as ACUITE D) on the Rs. 250.00 crore bank facilities of Oren Hydrocarbons Private Limited. The rating continues to be flagged as “Issuer Not-Cooperating” and is based on the best available information.

About the Company

Oren Hydrocarbons Private Limited (OHPL) was incorporated in 1990 and is based in Chennai. The company promoted by Mr. Rizwan Ahmad and Mrs. Sayeeda Ahmad is engaged in manufacturing and export of high quality Specialised Drilling Chemicals including Mud chemicals used in oil and gas exploration.

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
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 endeavored 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.
