The letters SO, in parenthesis, suffixed to the rating symbol stand for structured obligation. An SO rating is specific to the rated issue, its terms and structure. The SO rating does not represent ICRA’s opinion on the general credit quality of the issuers concerned. The rating assigned is provisional, as of now (as denoted by the prefix, provisional, before the rating symbol). It is subject to the fulfilment of all conditions under the structure, as mentioned to ICRA, including the execution of the transaction documents with the same being in line with the terms shared with ICRA. The coupon payment of the non-convertible debentures (NCDs) shall be made on a semi-annual interval while the principal shall be redeemed at the end of the 7th to 10th year (annual instalment of 25% each). The assigned rating reflects specific credit enhancements and the integrity of and expected adherence to the same by PMRDA, monitored by the Debenture Trustee. Credit enhancements on the NCDs are available in the form of a debt service reserve and a defined escrow and waterfall mechanism, so that sufficient funds are transferred, prior to the due date, into the interest payment account (IPA) and the sinking fund account (SFA), which would be used for the timely servicing of debt.

  • Chronological Developement of Pune City Chapter II
    Chapter II Chronological Developement of Pune City Chapter II Chronological Developement of Pune City 2.1 Introduction Pune's location was once considered less conducive for urban growth. But now pune, the cultural capital of Maharashtra is rapidly metamorphosing into a commercial hub. This metamorphim has a very long history spannin over 1000 years or more. Pune, which has been hailed as ^'Happening City", has not only survived but it has also prospered continuously during the last 400 years. Up to the mid seventeenth century, Pune was one of the main small garrison town on the plateau of Maharashtra. Within a century, however, this insignificant small town outstripped the older established towns in its respective region and emerged dominant city (Deshpande CD., 1978). In the 19"^ and 20"^ centuries it had undergone significant changes and prospered in various sphers. Referred to as Oxford of East for its educational tradition and Detroit of India for its post independence industrial development, in the 21^' century, Pune is emerging as a '''Cyber City". The growth and development of Pune is quite interesting. It has seen many rise and fall in its long history under different rulers at different periods. The growth phases of Pune have been divided in to five different periods, so that one can understand the richness of its culture and reasons for its success (Parasnis D.B., 1921). Therefore an attempt has been made to study Pune city. 2.2 Urbanization at the Global Level In 2008, humankind achieved a moment's milestone for the first time in history; half of the world's population that is 3.3 billion lived in urban areas.
