Crisil reaffirms Perfect Circle rating:
Crisil has reaffirmed the A rating assigned to the Rs 41.70 crore partly convertible debenture programme of Perfect Circle Victor Ltd. The rating factors in the continued strong market position of the company, the progress made in project-implementation and the comfortable capital structure offset by an increasingly difficult business environment, with sluggish growth in end-user industries and increased competitive pressure. Crisil has said that the increased exposureto group companies continues to remain an area of concern.
Crisil downgrades Srei International debt plan:
Crisil has downgraded the fixed deposit programme of Srei International Finance Ltd to FA from FA+. The revision in rating reflects the increased business risk profile of the company, given the continued deterioration in business conditions for the NBFC sector and the deterioration in the company's asset quality. The rating, however, continues to factor in the company's established presence in the earth-moving equipment segment, its comfortable resources position, asset-liability maturity profile and low dependence on public deposits.
