RATING ACTION / OUTLOOK / NATURE OF NON-COOPERATION

BWR reaffirms the ratings at BWR D and continues the rating under the ‘ISSUER NOT COOPERATING’ Category due to information insufficiency and lack of management cooperation.

The annual review of the rating of Mauria Udyog Limited was due on 22 Nov 2023 and Brickwork Ratings (BWR) took up with the issuer to provide the minimum required information for a review, however, the company has not provided the same. Neither we have received the No Default Statements from the company for a long time nor the banker's feedback on the conduct of the account or on curing of the default. Thus, in the absence of adequate information from the company, BWR is unable to assess its performance and ability to service its debt and maintain a valid rating. Due to continued non-cooperation, BWR has reviewed the rating based on the best available information and has reaffirmed the ratings at BWR D under the ISSUER NOT COOPERATING* category.

LIMITATIONS OF THE RATING

Information availability risk is a key factor in the assessment of credit risk as generally, non-cooperation by the rated entities to provide the required information for a review of the assigned rating may also be accompanied by financial stress. Users of the credit rating should, therefore, take into account the possible deterioration in the credit quality of the rated entity arising from its non-transparency and withholdings of the information required for a review of the rating.
