Non-cooperation by the issuer/borrower:

­Acuité has been requesting for information and clarifications from the rated entity regarding the material event. However, the issuer/borrower failed to communicate and furnish 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.
