The rating agency has also reaffirmed ‘A1’ rating to the company’s Commercial Paper worth Rs 75 crore.

The ratings continues to derive strength from the experienced promoter, established position of the group in the Ductile Iron (DI) pipe industry, reasonable revenue visibility in view of the satisfactory order book position with reputed clients, satisfactory capacity utilization level and improvement in the financial performance in FY14 (refers to the period April 1 to March 31).
