CRISIL has suspended its ratings on the bank facilities of Electrotherm (India) Ltd (EIL). This is because EIL has not been providing any information on its operations and financials to CRISIL. The suspension reflects CRISIL’s inability to maintain a valid rating in the absence of information from EIL.

CRISIL has withdrawn its rating on EIL’s commercial paper, as there is no amount outstanding against the instrument. The rating action is in line with CRISIL’s withdrawal policy on commercial paper programme.
