Kohinoor Hospitals Private Limited
Kohinoor Hospitals Private Limited Instrument Amount Rating Action (Rs. Crore) Term Loans 56.41 [ICRA]B- Reaffirmed Non-fund Based Limits 1.00 [ICRA]B- Reaffirmed ICRA has reaffirmed the long-term rating at [ICRA]B- (pronounced ICRA B minus) outstanding on the Rs. 56.41 crore1 term loan and Rs. 1.00 crore non-fund based limits of Kohinoor Hospitals Private Limited (KHPL / the hospital)2. The reaffirmation of the rating takes into account the weak liquidity position at a group level owing to slow sales of commercial projects as well as the slower than expected ramp up of the group’s recent ventures in healthcare, education and hospitality segments. The hospital’s financial profile continues to remain weak as evidenced by loss making operations and modest cash accruals. However ICRA notes that the business turning profitable at operating level with OPBDITA of Rs. 1.43 crore during FY 2016 owing to cost rationalisation measures undertaken. The rating also takes into account the limited track record of the promoter group in the healthcare business, the modest scale of operations of the hospital, and its exposure to concentration risks inherent in single asset companies. The rating however positively takes into account the presence of experienced consultants in the hospital’s panel of doctors, which is likely to have a positive impact on the occupancy levels of the hospital, and its foray into specialized services that is expected to support profitability and well as improve brand strength, have been taken into consideration as well. The ratings also favorably consider the limited competition, given the lack of adequate tertiary care facilities in the vicinity and no major expected supply.

India: the Shiv Sena, Including the Group's Activities and Areas Of
Home > Research > Responses to Information Requests RESPONSES TO INFORMATION REQUESTS (RIRs) New Search | About RIRs | Help 29 April 2011 IND103728.E India: The Shiv Sena, including the group's activities and areas of operation within India; whether the Shiv Sena is involved in criminal activity; if so, the nature of these activities (2009 - March 2011) Research Directorate, Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, Ottawa The Political Party The Shiv Sena, a political party in the Indian state of Maharashtra, was formed in 1966 and is led by Balashaheb Thackeray (Political Handbook of the World 2011, 632; MaharashtraPoliticalParties.com n.d.a). Other party leaders, according to the Political Handbook of the World 2011, include Uddhav Thackeray, the party's executive president, and Anant Gheete, a leader in the Lok Sabha (2011, 632). The Lok Sabha (House of the People) is a unit of the national Parliament, along with the Rajya Sabha (Council of States) (India 16 Sept. 2010). Members of the Lok Sabha are directly elected by eligible voters every five years (ibid.). In 2009, the Shiv Sena won 11 seats in a general election (Political Handbook of the World 2011, 632). The Political Handbook of the World notes that Shiv Sena is "closely linked" to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) (2011, 632). The Press Trust of India (PTI) reports that on 6 March 2011, the BJP leader "said his party's alliance with Shiv Sena will remain intact at [the] Maharashtra and national level" (6 Mar. 2011). In 14 April 2011 correspondence with the Research Directorate, an honorary senior fellow and chairman of the Centre for Multilevel Federalism, at the Institute of Social Sciences in New Delhi, noted that the Shiv Sena was "the main opposition party" in the Maharashtra legislative assembly of 2004 to 2009.

CHAIRMAN: Hon. Members, as you are aware, unprecedented cloudbursts triggering torrential rains, flash floods and mud slides struck Leh town and its surrounding villages in Ladakh on the 6th August, 2010 leading to extensive loss of lives and massive destruction of property and infrastructure. More than 145 persons have reportedly lost their lives and more than 300 have been injured. Several persons are still reported to be missing. Many houses were washed away and important buildings including hospitals were badly damaged. The loss of so many precious and innocent lives is very tragic and unfortunate. The loss suffered by the kith and kin of the deceased is irreparable. Relief and rehabilitation measures have already been taken up on a war footing and efforts are being made to restore normalcy in the ravaged Leh town and its surrounding villages. I am sure the whole House will join me in expressing our heartfelt sympathy and concern for the families of those who lost their near and dear ones and pray for the speedy recovery of those who were injured. I request Members to rise in their places and observe silence as a mark of respect to the memory of those who lost their lives in this unfortunate calamity. (Hon. Members then stood in silence for one minute) (Ends) 2 Uncorrected/Not for publication - 09.08.2010 MR.
