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 minus) and the short term rating to ‘ACUITE A4+’ (read as ACUITE A four plus) from ‘ACUITE A3’ (read as ACUITE A three) on the Rs. 24.00 Crore bank facilities of Ruhatiya Spinners Private Limited (RSPL). The rating has been flagged as “Issuer Not-Cooperating” and is based on the best available information.
The rating has been downgraded on account of information risk.

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.
The 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). Acuite endeavored to gather information about the entity/industry from the public domain. Therefore, Acuite cautions lenders and investors regarding the use of such information, on which the indicative credit rating is based.
