Why it matters

The market read

The credit rating downgrade indicates a negative outlook due to delays in debt servicing and a deteriorating business risk profile.

* Infomerics Ratings has downgraded the credit ratings for Astron Paper & Board Mill Limited's bank facilities. * The long-term bank facilities of ₹62 crore are rated IVRD. * The short-term bank facilities of ₹65 crore are rated IVRD. * The rating downgrade is attributed to delays in debt servicing. * The ratings consider the consolidated view of Astron Group, including Balaram Papers Private Limited. * Strengths are derived from experienced management, but are offset by a deteriorating business risk profile, volatile raw material prices, and a highly fragmented industry.
