Ratings Downgraded for Non-Cooperation

Incredible Industries Ltd's long-term bank facility rating is now 'IVR BBB-/ Negative ISSUER NOT COOPERATING' by Infomerics. Its short-term facilities are rated 'IVR A3 ISSUER NOT COOPERATING'.

Infomerics Cites Lack of Information

Infomerics Valuation and Rating Private Limited (IVRPL) has downgraded Incredible Industries Limited's bank facility ratings, assigning an 'Issuer Not Cooperating' status. This action, dated April 10, 2026, was announced on April 13, 2026.

The status signifies that the company has failed to submit required information to the rating agency. As a result, long-term facilities are now rated 'IVR BBB-/ Negative ISSUER NOT COOPERATING', down from 'IVR BBB/ Stable'. Short-term facilities have been revised from 'IVR A3+' to 'IVR A3 ISSUER NOT COOPERATING'. The company is seeking to withdraw these specific ratings from Infomerics.

Why This Downgrade Matters

An 'Issuer Not Cooperating' status is a significant red flag, suggesting potential opacity in the company's financial reporting and raising concerns for lenders and investors. This can lead to higher borrowing costs, restricted credit access, and reduced confidence in the company's transparency and governance.
