Based on a review of the latest developments, the Rating Committee of ICRA, after due consideration, has upgraded the long-termrating to [ICRA]A+ (pronounced ICRA A plus) from [ICRA]A (pronounced ICRA A) and has reaffirmed the short-termrating at [ICRA]A1 (pronounced ICRA A one). The outlook on the long-term rating is Stable. Instruments with [ICRA]A+ rating are considered to have adequate degree of safety regarding timely servicing of financial obligations. Such instruments carry low credit risk. Instruments with [ICRA]A1 rating are considered to have very strong degree of safety regarding timely payment of financial obligations. Such instruments carry lowest credit risk.

In any of your publicity material or other document wherever you are using our above Rating, it should be stated as [ICRA]A+ (Stable) / [ICRA]A1.

However, ICRA reserves the right to review and/or, revise the above Rating at any time on the basis of new information becoming available, or the required information not being available, or other circumstances that ICRA believes could have an impact on the Rating.

In the event such changes occur after the Rating has been assigned by us and their use has been confirmed by you, the Rating would be subject to our review, following which there could be a change in the Rating previously assigned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase in the over-all limit of the bank facilities from that specified in the first paragraph of this letter would constitute an enhancement that would not be covered by or under the said Rating Agreement.

The Rating assigned must be understood solely as an opinion and should not be treated, or cause to be treated, as recommendation to buy, sell or hold the rated bank facilities availed by your company.

You are also requested to forthwith inform us about any default or delay in repayment of interest or principal amount of the instrument rated, as above, or any other debt instruments/ borrowing and keep us informed of any other developments which may have a direct or indirect impact on the debt servicing capability of the company including any proposal for re-schedulement or postponement of the repayment programmes of the dues/ debts of the company with any lender(s) / investor(s).
