Rating Rationale

­Acuité has reaffirmed the long-term rating of ‘ACUITE D’ (read as ACUITE D) on the Rs. 335.00 crore bank facilities of Pan India Utilities Distribution Company Limited (PIUDCL). The rating continues to be flagged as “Issuer Not-Cooperating” and is based on the best available information.


About the Company

­Pan India Utilities Distribution Company Limited (PIUDCL), incorporated in 2012, is a Mumbai-based EPC contractor for Essel group's wind and solar power projects. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Pan India Infra projects Private Limited (PIIPL) and part of the Essel Group promoted by Mr. Subash Chandra. As per the arrangement, the SPVs of Essel Infra projects Limited (EIL), a flagship company of the Essel group in the infrastructure sector, will bid for projects. The awarded projects will be subcontracted (entire or part of it) to PIUDCL which in turn will subcontract to third parties.

 
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.
