The above ratings address the servicing of the bank facilities to happen as per the terms of the underlying loan and the guarantee arrangement, and the rating assumes that the guarantee will be duly invoked, as per the terms of the underlying loan and guarantee agreements, in case there is a default in payment by the borrower. Rating Outlook:Stable BWR believes the Goodwatts Solar Modasa Pvt Ltd business risk profile will be maintained over the ​ ​ medium term. The ‘Stable’ outlook indicates a low likelihood of rating change over the medium term. The rating outlook may be revised to 'Positive' in case the revenues and profit show sustained improvement. The rating outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if the revenues go down and profit margins show lower than expected figures. About the Guarantor- ACEL: Abellon CleanEnergy Ltd.
