*Issuer did not cooperate; based on best-available information
 
Please note that the rating(s) are based on best available information with the credit rating agency: the entity whose debt is being published via this rating rationale did not provide the requisite information needed to conduct the rating exercise or did not provide the No Default Statements (NDS) for the last three months and is therefore classified as 'non cooperative'.

Non cooperation by Issuer

Crisil Ratings has been consistently following up with Technofab Engineering Limited (TEL) for obtaining information through letter and email dated May 14, 2025 among others, apart from telephonic communication. However, the issuer has remained non cooperative.


‘The investors, lenders and all other market participants should exercise due caution with reference to the rating assigned/reviewed with the suffix 'ISSUER NOT COOPERATING' as the rating is arrived at without any management interaction and is based on best available or limited or dated information on the company. Such non co-operation by a rated entity may be a result of deterioration in its credit risk profile. These ratings with 'ISSUER NOT COOPERATING' suffix lack a forward looking component.’

Detailed Rationale

Despite repeated attempts to engage with the management, Crisil Ratings failed to receive any information on either the financial performance or strategic intent of TEL, which restricts Crisil Ratings' ability to take a forward-looking view on the entity's credit quality. Crisil Ratings believes that rating action on TEL is consistent with ‘Assessing Information Adequacy Risk’. Based on the last available information, the ratings on bank facilities of TEL continues to be ‘Crisil D/Crisil D Issuer Not Cooperating’.

Analytical Approach

Crisil Ratings has combined the business and financial risk profiles of TEL and its subsidiaries, Arihant Flour Mills Pvt Ltd, Woodlands Instruments Pvt Ltd, and Rivu Infrastructural Developers Pvt Ltd, considering their strong financial and operational linkages.

Please refer Annexure - List of Entities Consolidated, which captures the list of entities considered and their analytical treatment of consolidation.
