    Rating action

    ICRA has re-affirmed the long-term rating of [ICRA]B+ (pronounced ICRA B plus) for the Rs. 6.70 crore1fund based limits of Telawne Power Equipments Private Limited ('TPEPL' or 'the company')2. ICRA has also re-affirmed the short-term rating of [ICRA]A4 (pronounced ICRA A four) for the Rs. 6.00 crore non-fund based limits of the company. ICRA has also re-affirmed [ICRA]B+/[ICRA]A4 ratings for the Rs. 2.30 crore unallocated limit. The outlook on the long-term rating is 'Stable'.

    Rationale

    The rating action is based on best available information. As part of its process and in accordance with its rating agreement with Telawne Power Equipments Private Limited, ICRA has been trying to seek information from the company to undertake a surveillance of ratings; but despite multiple requests, the company's management has remained non-cooperative. In the absence of the requisite information, ICRA's Rating Committee has taken a rating view based on the best available information. In line with SEBI's Circular No. SEBI/HO/MIRSD4/CIR/2016/119, dated November 01, 2016, the company's rating is now denoted as: "[ICRA]B+ (Stable)/[ICRA]A4 ISSUER NOT COOPERATING". The lenders, investors and other market participants may exercise appropriate caution while using this rating, given that it is based on limited or no updated information on the company's performance since the time it was last rated.

Description of key rating drivers

Incorporated in 2004, by Mr. Sudhakar Telawne, Telawane Power Equipments Private Limited (TPEPL) is engaged in manufacture of transformers and substations.
