RATING ACTION / OUTLOOK : Stable

BWR assigns the long term rating of "BWR B+" with 'Stable' outlook for the bank loan facilities of 'Ojaswi Marbles & Granites Pvt. Ltd.'

The rating draws strength from the vast business experience of the directors and moderate financial risk profile. However, the rating is constrained by the small scale of operations, regulatory norms and intense competition in the industry.

The rating outlook has been assigned as "Stable" as BWR believes that 'Ojaswi Marbles & Granites Pvt. Ltd.' business risk profile will be maintained over the medium term. The 'Stable' outlook indicates a low likelihood of rating change over the medium term. The rating outlook may be revised to 'Positive' in case the revenues and profit show sustained improvement. The rating outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if there is deterioration in financial risk profile.
