Rating Rationale
­Acuité has reaffirmed the long-term rating of ‘ACUITE BB’ (read as ACUITE double B) and reaffirmed the short-term rating of ‘ACUITE A4+’ (read as ACUITE A four plus) on the Rs.45.00 crore bank facilities of Sri Raghavendra Ferro Alloys Private Limited (SRFAPL). The rating continues to be flagged as “Issuer Not-Cooperating” on account of information risk.

About the Company
­Sri Raghvendra Ferro Alloys Private Limited (SRFAPL) was initially incorporated in the year 2004 by Mr. K Srinivasa Reddy. The company is primarily involved in the business of manufacturing Ferro Alloys and in particular Silico Manganese and Ferro Silicon. The company’s registered office is located at Nalgonda, Telangana and has 3 manufacturing plants with a combined annual capacity of around 50,000 tonnes per annum.
 
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 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.

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 endeavoured to gather information about the entity / industry from the public domain. Therefore, Acuité cautions lenders and investors regarding theuse of such information, on which theindicativecredit 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. For more details, please refer Rating Criteria “Complexity Level Of Financial Instruments” on www.acuite.in.
