Rating Rationale

­Acuité has downgraded its long-term rating to 'ACUITE BB-' (read as ACUITE Double B Minus) from 'ACUITE BB' (read as ACUITE Double B) on the Rs. 26.15 crore bank facilities of Paviter Metals Private Limited.

The rating is now flagged as “Issuer Not-Cooperating” on account of information risk and is based on the best available information. The rating has been downgraded on account of information risk and the company has not provided latest No Default Statement (NDS) for last 3 months consecutively ended June 2026.

Unsupported Rating
­Not Applicable
 
Non-cooperation by the issuer/borrower

­Acuité has been requesting for No Default Statements (NDS); however, despite multiple requests; the Company’s management has remained non-cooperative and not submitted the NDS for the preceding 03 consecutive months. 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.
