Rating Rationale

Acuité has downgraded and withdrawn the long-term rating to ‘ACUITE B+’ (read as ACUITE B plus) from ‘ACUITE BB-’ (read as ACUITE double B minus) and reaffirmed the short term rating to ‘ACUITE A4’ (read as ACUITE A four) and also withdrawn the long term rating for the proposed limit on the Rs. 50.00 crore bank facilities of Vinod Fabrics Private Limited (VFPL). The rating is on account of the best available information and is flagged as Issuer not cooperating. The rating has been withdrawn on Acuite's policy of withdrawal of ratings. The rating has been withdrawn on account of the request received from the company, and the NOC received from the banker.­

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.

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).

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.
