Rating Rationale

­Acuité has downgraded the long-term rating to 'ACUITE BB+ (read as ACUITE double B plus)' from ACUITE BBB (Read as ACUITE Triple B) and the short term rating to ACUITE A4+ (Read as ACUITE A four plus)  from ACUITE A3+ (Read as ACUITE A Three plus) on the Rs.111.86 crore bank facilities of P M ELECTRO AUTO PRIVATE LIMITED (PMPL) . This rating is now flagged as issuer not cooperating and is based on best available information. The rating has been downgraded on account of information risk


About the Company

­Mumbai Based, P M Electro Auto Private Limited (PMEAPL) was incorporated in 1991 by Mr. Sameer Sanghavi, Mr. Kapil Sanghavi, Mr. Vishal Sanghavi, and Mr. Sandeep Sanghavi. The company is engaged in the manufacturing of steel-based products. These products are steel furniture, lighting systems, solar mountings, telecommunication equipments, and assemblies for automobiles, among others. The company has 10 manufacturing facilities, located at Nashik, Palghar, Thane, and Pune.

 
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 an 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 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.

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.
