Rating Rationale
­Acuité has downgraded the long-term rating to 'ACUITE B+' (read as ACUITE B plus) form 'ACUITE BB-' (read as ACUITE double B minus) on the Rs.9.20 crore bank facilities of T R V Cashew Company. The rating is now an indicative rating and is based on the best available information.
The rating is 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 an 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 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.
