Rating Rationale

­Acuité has downgraded the long-term rating to ‘ACUITE B-’ (read as ACUITE B minus) from 'ACUITE B' (read as ACUITE B) on the Rs. 6.00 crore bank facilities of Sona Synthetics on account of information risk. The rating continues to be flagged as “Issuer Not-Cooperating” and is based on the best available information.

Their suppliers include domestic traders and their customers include wholesalers which sell the fabric for manufacturing shirts. Their monthly capacity is around 100 metric tonnes per month of which they are currently utilising 50 percent.

 
Unsupported Rating

­Not Applicable

 
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 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.
