Rating Rationale
­Acuité has downgraded its long-term rating to ‘ACUITE BB+’ (read as ACUITE Double B Plus) from ‘ACUITE BBB-’ (read as ACUITE Triple B Minus) and downgraded the short term rating to 'ACUITE A4+' (read as ACUITE A Four Plus) from 'ACUITE A3' (read as ACUITE A Three) on the Rs.30.00 crore bank facilities of Sri Venkatesh Granites Private Limited (SVGPL). This rating is now an indicative rating and is based on 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.This
rating is, therefore, being flagged as “Issuer not-cooperating”, in line with prevailing SEBI
regulations and Acuité’s policies.
 
Limitation regarding information availability

Acuité endeavored to gather information about the entity / industry from the public domain. Therefore, Acuité cautions lenders and investors regarding the use of such information, on which the indicative credit 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.
