| About the Company |
|
Delhi based Satellite Cables Private Limited (SCPL) was incorporated in 1986. It is in the business of manufacturing of transmission cables and heavy load cables. It supplies to State Electricity Boards and large factories by first procuring wires, then bundling them and eventually applying the appropriate form of insulation. SCPL was acquired by Mr. V.N. Gupta, Mr. Vinay Gupta and Mr. Vikas Gupta in 2010. The current directors of the company are Mr. Vinay Gupta and Ms. Niharika Goyal. SCPL’s sales are a mix of tender based sales and retail sales to large factories, manufacturing firms and other users of heavy duty transmission cables. The company has one manufacturing facility with an average capacity of 8000km of insulation and bundling. However, the effective capacity depends on the quality of the cable which if in turn a function of the total permissible load factor and the quality specifications of the cable. |

| 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.
