category. The ratings are denoted as “[ICRA] B+(Stable); ISSUER NOT COOPERATING”.

As part of its process and in accordance with its rating agreement with Lakshmi Balaji Oils Private Limited, ICRA has been trying
to seek information from the entity so as to monitor its performance Further, ICRA has been sending repeated reminders to
the entity for payment of surveillance fee that became due. Despite multiple requests by ICRA, the entity’s management has
remained non-cooperative. In the absence of requisite information and in line with the aforesaid policy of ICRA, the rating has
been continued to the “Issuer Not Cooperating” category. The rating is based on the best available information.
