ABC LEARNING: Gov't. Turns Over 570 Centres to Non-Profit Group
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Sydney Morning Herald reports that Education Minister
Julia Gillard on Monday transferred 570 child care centres from
ABC Learning to non-profit group GoodStart.  The move, supported
by a $15 million federal government loan, comes after the collapse
of ABC Learning in 2008.

According to the report, Ms. Gillard said government support
during the sale of the centres saved hundreds from closure and
saved 62,000 families from either missing work or having to find
alternative care at short notice.

The report says the transition is not expected to cause any
disruption to families or to more than 13,000 ABC Learning staff
who have kept their jobs.

AIR INDIA: Narrows Operating Loss in Fiscal Year 2010
-----------------------------------------------------
National carrier Air India managed to narrow its operating loss by
more than one-third in the fiscal year that ended March 31,
according to livemint.com.  The carrier also received offers from
at least 16 banks to refinance a US$475 million aircraft
acquisition loan as part of its restructuring programme, the
report says.

"Lower jet fuel prices, brand new fleet and marginal savings in
the wage bill have helped Air India to lower its operating loss by
36% in fiscal 2010," livemint.com quoted a senior government
official as saying.  "The financial results are being audited by
the government now.  Moreover, the carrier is getting better
quotes from international and domestic banks for refinancing its
loans."

The report says the official didn't reveal the exact operating
loss posted by the airline.  The operating loss for the previous
fiscal hasn't been made public yet.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on
June 10, 2009, the National Aviation Co. of India Ltd was seeking
INR14,000 crore in equity infusion, soft loans and grants to cope
up with mounting losses.  NACIL is the holding company formed
after the merger of erstwhile Indian Airlines and Air India in
2007.

The TCR-AP, citing the Hindustan Times, reported on June 19, 2009,
that Air India has been bleeding cash due to excess capacity,
lower yield, a drop in passenger numbers, an increase in fuel
prices and the effects of the global slowdown.  The carrier
incurred net losses of INR2,226.16 crore in 2007-08 and INR5,548
crore in 2008-09.

In December 2009, the Air India board decided to initiate a series
of major steps to cut costs and enhance savings.  The carrier is
focusing on cutting costs by INR1,500 crore and increasing
revenues by INR1,200 crore as per its turnaround plan, according
to the Business Standard.  The airline's turnaround plan has been
broadly divided into 0-9 months, 9-18 months and 18-36 months, and
has been segregated under operational efficiency, product
improvement, organization building and financial restructuring,
the Business Standard said.

                         About Air India

Air India -- http://www.airindia.com/-- transports passengers
throughout India and to more than 40 destinations throughout the
world.  Affiliate Air India Express operates as a low-fare
carrier, mainly between India and destinations in the Middle East,

called National Aviation Company of India, uses the Air India
brand.  The new Air India and its affiliates have a fleet of more
than 110 aircraft altogether.


CHAITANYA CHEMICALS: ICRA Rates INR24.5 Mil. Term Loan at 'LBB-'
----------------------------------------------------------------
ICRA has assigned "LBB-" ratings to the INR24.5 million term loan
limit and INR39.0 million fund based bank limit of Chaitanya
Chemicals.  ICRA has assigned stable outlook to the ratings.
The ratings are constrained by the Chaitanya Chemicals' small
scale of operations; vulnerability to raw material price
volatility;  high gearing resulting from debt-funded capital
expenditure in the recent past, moderate coverage indicators,
tight liquidity position and partnership nature of the business.
However, the ratings factor in established track record of the
firm in production of barium chloride and sodium hydro-sulphide;
experienced management and its established relationships with a
reputed customer portfolio.  The ratings are further supported by
the strong growth in income and profits backed by advantageous
location of its production facilities near to the barite mine in
Mangampet.

Recent Results

As per the provisional figures of FY10 ending 31st March 2010;
Chaitanya Chemicals reported an OI of INR 159.2 million,
registering a growth of 42.7% over FY091.

                     About Chaitanya Chemicals

Chaitanya Chemicals is a partnership firm established in 1990 by
Mr. S.V. Rama Moorthy (Managing Director) and his family members.
The production facilities of the firm are near to Mangampet
located in Kadapa district of Andhra Pradesh.  The family has two
more partnership ventures viz. Chaitanya Industries which is into
production of barium sulphide (raw material for the group) and RCS
Chemicals which is into production of barium sulphate and barium
nitrate


DHANDAPANI CEMENTS: CRISIL Rates INR129.9 Million LT Loan at 'B+'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'B+/Negative/P4' ratings to Dhandapani
Cements Pvt Ltd's bank facilities.

   Facilities                             Ratings
   ----------                             -------
   INR129.90 Million Long-Term Loan       B+/Negative (Assigned)
   INR102.60 Million Cash Credit Limit    B+/Negative (Assigned)
   INR25.00 Million Letter of Credit      P4 (Assigned)

The ratings reflect DCPL's below-average financial risk profile,
geographically concentrated revenue profile, and susceptibility to
cyclicality in the cement industry.  These rating weaknesses are
partially offset by DCPL's established presence and promoter's
experience in the cement industry.

Outlook: Negative

CRISIL expects DCPL's financial risk profile to deteriorate over
the medium term on the back of large, proposed, debt-funded
expansion project; the project is, nevertheless, likely to be
completed without any cost or time overrun.  The ratings may be
downgraded in case of delays in completion of the project; sharp
decline in realizations, given the overcapacity in the cement
industry; or if the company undertakes any further debt-funded
capital expenditure programme.  Conversely, the outlook may be
revised to 'Stable' in case of significant improvement in DCPL's
capital structure, capacity utilization in the new facility, or
higher-than-expected profitability.

                      About Dhandapani Cements

Incorporated in 1996 by Mr. S. Subramaniam, DCPL manufactures
blended cement with a current capacity of around 300 tonnes per
day (tpd) in Trichy (Tamil Nadu).  The day-to-day affairs of DCPL
are managed by the promoter's son, Mr. S. Saravanan.  DCPL is
expanding its capacity to 1,200 tpd using the rotary kiln
technology, at a total capital expenditure of INR750 million with
a debt component of INR550 million.  The proposed expansion is
expected to be completed by March 2011.  The company also has a
foundry division to manufacture grinding media used in cement
manufacturing.  DCPL is planning to hive its foundry division off
and establish it under a separate company, DCPL Foundry Ltd,
wherein DCPL and another partner will hold stake in the ratio
40:60; this activity is expected to be completed by July 2010.

DCPL posted a provisional profit after tax (PAT) of INR11.2
million on net sales of INR855 million for 2009-10 (refers to
financial year, April 1 to March 31), against a reported PAT of
INR21.7 million on net sales of INR1.16 billion for 2008-09.


GUJARAT GINNING: CRISIL Assigns 'B-' Rating on INR28MM Term Loan
----------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'B-/Stable' rating to Gujarat Ginning &
Oil Industries' bank facilities.

   Facilities                              Ratings
   ----------                              -------
   INR90.00 Million Cash Credit Facility   B-/Stable (Assigned)
   INR28.0 Million Term Loan               B-/Stable (Assigned)

The rating reflects GGOI's weak financial risk profile marked by
high gearing and weak debt protection metrics, large working
capital requirements, and susceptibility to unfavorable regulatory
changes.  These rating weaknesses are partially offset by the
firm's promoters' experience in the oil industry.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that GGOI will continue to benefit from its
promoter's industry experience over the medium term. The outlook
may be revised to 'Positive' if GGOI's accruals improve
significantly, thereby improving its gearing.  Conversely, the
outlook may be revised to 'Negative' in case of lower-than-
expected operating margin causing deterioration in cash accruals
over the medium term.

                          About Gujarat Ginning

GGOI was set up in 1994 as a partnership firm with nine partners.
The firm is into cotton ginning and pressing.  In 2009-10 (refers
to financial year, April 1 to March 31) GGOI added capacities of
cotton seed crushing for extracting oil.  GGOI's present capacity
is around 325 bales (54000 kilograms) per day. However, the
company is utilizing only about 40% of its installed capacity.
GGOI also trades in cotton bales and seeds.  The company is owned
by Mr. Maganbhai Parvadia (65%) and Mr. Chandubhai Parvardia
(35%).

GGOI reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR2.0 million on
net sales of INR541.2 million for 2009-10, against a PAT of
INR0.7 million on net sales of INR496.5 million for 2008-09.


KINGFISHER AIRLINES: Repays 40% Overdue Fuel Bill to HPCL
---------------------------------------------------------
Kingfisher Airlines has repaid 40% of its overdue fuel bill to
state-run refiner-marketer HPCL and has agreed to give bank
guarantee as insurance against default on future jet fuel
supplies, The Times of India reports.

"HPCL vigorously pursued the issue with Kingfisher as a result of
which an overdue of INR290 crore that was outstanding as on
March 4 has been reduced by more than INR122 crore," the report
quoted a source in the aviation refueling industry as saying.

The report relates the airline has also agreed to submit a bank
guarantee of INR250 crore by the end of June.  This collateral can
be encashed by HPCL in case Kingfisher defaults in future.

The report also notes that the airline has agreed to sign legally
binding settlement agreement on acceptance of the repayment
schedule by HPCL.

The airline owes over INR479 crore to HPCL as of May 21. Only
INR176 crore of this was in fuel bills that were unpaid even after
the 60-day credit period.

                     About Kingfisher Airlines

MAGNA INFOTECH: ICRA Assigns 'LBB+' Rating on INR110MM Bank Debts
-----------------------------------------------------------------
ICRA has assigned "LBB+" rating to the INR110 million fund based
limits Magna Infotech Private Limited.  ICRA has assigned stable
outlook on the long term rating.   The assigned rating takes into
account the experienced management, established customer
relationships, reputed client base, healthy profitability,
moderate leverage level and comfortable coverage indicators of
Magna Infotech Private Limited.  The rating is however constrained
by the tight liquidity experienced by Magna on account of its
recent rapid growth, high overhead costs resulting in lower
margins, client concentration,  high working capital intensity and
limited scale of operations.  The rating is also constrained by
the delayed statutory payments of service tax obligation due to
the liquidity crunch experienced by the company on account of its
aggressive growth in FY10.

Established in 1995 Magna caters to staff augmentation
requirements of IT and ITeS companies operating in India.  Having
established relationships with over 150 clients across the country
Magna's coveted client list includes the likes of IBM, Accenture,
J.P Morgan Services, Hewlett Packard and Patni Computers amongst
others.

In FY10, the company reported a net profit of INR27.0 million on
an operating income of INR1.11 billion as against a net profit of
INR10.3 million on an operating income of INR579.6 million in
FY09.


NARMADA CEREAL: CRISIL Lifts Rating on INR52MM Term Loan to 'B-'
----------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has upgraded its rating on Narmada Cereal Pvt Ltd's bank
facilities to 'B-/Stable' from 'D'.  The upgrade reflects NCPL's
timely debt servicing over the past five months.

   Facilities                       Ratings

The rating reflects NCPL's weak financial risk profile, marked by
a small net worth, high gearing and weak debt protection metrics,
small scale of operations, vulnerability to unfavorable changes in
regulatory policies, volatility in raw material prices, and uneven
rainfall.  These rating weaknesses are partially offset by NCPL's
promoters' extensive experience in rice business, and the benefits
the company is likely to reap from the healthy growth prospects in
the basmati rice industry.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that NCPL will remain a small player in the
basmati rice industry in the medium term, and that its financial
risk profile will remain constrained by its large working capital
requirements and weak capital structure.  The outlook may be
revised to 'Positive' in case NCPL improves its capital structure
significantly, or if it increases its scale of operations
substantially, while sustaining its profitability. Conversely, the
outlook may be revised to 'Negative', if NCPL undertakes any
larger-than-expected debt-funded capital expenditure, or if its
profitability declines.

                         About Narmada Cereal

Incorporated in February 2007 by Mr. Arun Mittal, his brother Mr.
Praveen Mittal and Mr. Surendra Gupta, NCPL commenced commercial
production on April 1, 2008.  The company mills Pusa 1121 basmati
rice, sold under its Narmada Rice brand in India; it has a
processing unit in Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh) with capacity of 42000
tonnes per annum (tpa).  The company also exports rice to the UAE,
which accounted for around 13 per cent of its turnover in 2009-10
(refers to financial year, April 1 to March 31).

NCPL's profit after tax (PAT) and net sales are estimated to be
INR17.28 million and INR492.3 million, respectively, for 2009-10,
against a reported PAT of INR11.02 million on net sales of
INR208.8 million for 2008-09.


NARAYANADRI INSTITUTE: CRISIL Rates INR100 Million Loan at 'B'
--------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'B/Stable' rating to Narayanadri Institute
of Science and Technology's proposed term loan facility.

   Facilities                             Ratings
   ----------                             -------
   INR100.00 Million Proposed Term Loan   B/Stable (Assigned)

The rating reflects NIST's below-average financial risk profile,
marked by large debt-funded capital expenditure, and exposure to
risks related to limited track record of operations and limited
diversity in courses offered.  These rating weaknesses are
partially offset by the benefits that NIST derives from stable
regional demand, and promoter's experience in the education
domain.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that NIST will maintain its business risk profile
on the back of the stable regional demand, and the proposed
increase in number of seats for its courses.  The outlook may be
revised to 'Positive' if there is more-than-expected growth in its
operating income and profitability coupled with diversity in
course offering.  Conversely, the outlook may be revised to
'Negative' in the event of any large debt-funded capital
expenditure, resulting in deterioration in NIST's financial risk
profile, or in case of delays in the on-going project completion.

NIST, promoted by Smt & Sri Ambati Sesha Reddy and Jayalakshumma
Educational Trust was set up in 2007-08 (refers to financial year,
April 1 to March 31).  NIST located in Rajampet (Andhra Pradesh)
offers only one ?undergraduate course in engineering with a
current student intake of 240.  The course is accredited by the
All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE).  The College is
affiliated to Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Anantapur
(Andhra Pradesh).  NIST is currently undertaking a capital
expenditure of INR192 million for setting up additional
infrastructure for its engineering college at Rajampet (Andhra
Pradesh). NIST commenced admissions from the academic year
2009-10.


NARMADA SOLVEX: Stretched Liquidity Cues CRISIL's 'B-' Ratings
--------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'B-/Negative' rating to Narmada Solvex Pvt
Ltd's bank facilities.

   Facilities                       Ratings
   ----------                       -------
   INR250.0 Million Cash Credit     B-/Negative (Assigned)
   INR67.1 Million Term Loan        B-/Negative (Assigned)

The rating reflects NSPL's strained financial risk profile, led by
substantial losses and stretched liquidity in 2009-10 (refers to
financial year, April 1 to March 31), and susceptibility of
operating margin to volatility in soybean prices.  These rating
weaknesses are partially offset by the benefits that that NSPL
derives from its promoters experience in solvent extraction
industry.

Outlook: Negative

CRISIL believes that the pressure on NSPL's credit risk profile
may increase over the medium term, as NSPL has large debt
servicing obligations and moderate net cash accruals; therefore,
NSPL is likely to face considerable pressure in servicing its term
debt obligations.  The rating may be downgraded if the company's
accruals are lower than expected, thereby further impairing its
ability to service its debt.  Conversely, the outlook may be
revised to 'Stable' in case of a material improvement in NSPL's
debt protection metrics.

                        About Narmada Solvex

NSPL was incorporated in 2008 as a private limited company. The
company is promoted and managed by Mr. Kaluramji Ruhatiya and his
family members.  The company is part of the Ruhatiya group, which
has interests in operating dal mills, commodity trading, and
cotton ginning for the last 50 years. NSPL is engaged in solvent
extraction of edible soy oil.  It sells crude soy oil and de-oiled
cakes in domestic markets.  The company has its head office at
Akola (Maharashtra) while its plant is located at Washim
(Maharashtra) with a solvent extraction capacity of 500 tonnes per
day.

The company commenced operations in March 2009. NSPL reported a
net loss of INR10.6 million on net sales of INR40 million for
2008-09.


NEW STEEL: CRISIL Assigns 'BB' Rating on INR25MM Cash Credit Limit
------------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'BB/Stable/P4+' ratings to New Steel
Trading Pvt Ltd's bank facilities.

   Facilities                            Ratings
   ----------                            -------
   INR25.0 Million Cash Credit Limit     BB/Stable (Assigned)
   INR75.0 Million Letter of Credit      P4+ (Assigned)

The ratings reflect NSTPL's weak financial risk profile
constrained by its over-leveraged capital structure and low net
worth, and the company's exposure to risks related to its small
scale of operations in a competitive and cyclical steel industry.
These rating weaknesses are partially offset by NSTPL's increasing
revenue diversity and improving operating efficiencies.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL expects NSTPL's credit risk profile to remain stable,
supported by its improving operating efficiencies.  The company's
financial risk profile is, however, expected to remain constrained
due to its highly leveraged capital structure, owing to large
working-capital requirements and small net worth base.  The
outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if NSTPL's revenue growth and
profitability improve significantly.  Conversely, the outlook may
be revised to 'Negative' if NSTPL's profitability deteriorates
significantly or it undertakes any major debt-funded capital
expenditure, exerting pressure on its debt protection measures.

                          About New Steel

Mr. Dinesh Mehta set up a proprietorship in 1994, New Steel
Corporation, engaged in steel trading and acting as sub-agent of
JSW Steel Ltd (formerly, Jindal Iron and Steel Company Ltd). In
1999, the promoter set up NSTPL and merged the proprietorship into
NSTPL in the same year.

NSTPL imports steel scrap from United Arab Emirates, Canada,
United Kingdom, and Africa.  The company has a pool of about 80
suppliers overseas. The company has three warehouses in Mumbai.

NSTPL is buying an ingot production plant in Wada (Maharashtra).
The purchase consideration is estimated to be at about
INR10 million, of which 50% is likely to be funded through term
loan and the remainder through equity and unsecured loans.  The
plant will be engaged in the manufacture of mild steel ingots and
billets, with a production capacity of 80 tonnes per day.

NSTPL reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR2.4 million on net
sales of INR616.8 million for 2008-09 (refers to financial year,
April 1 to March 31) against a PAT of INR34 million on net sales
of INR442.3 million for 2007-08.


R.S. KALYAANI: ICRA Puts 'LBB-' Rating on INR200 Million Term Loan
------------------------------------------------------------------
ICRA has assigned a 'LBB-' rating to INR200 million term loans of
R.S. Kalyaani Hotels Pvt Ltd.  The outlook on the long-term rating
is stable.

The assigned rating incorporates the stretched financial profile
of the company as reflected in its high levels of gearing, low
operating income and inadequate coverage indicators.  The rating
is also constrained by the company's moderate scale of operation
and its geographical concentration in the 3-star Bangalore market.

Nevertheless, the rating draws comfort from the IT sector lead
gradual recovery in occupancies in Bangalore post recession, the
company's focus on budget segment hotels which are relatively less
vulnerable to business slowdown and the promoter's experience of
over two decades in the hospitality industry.  The company has
large capital expenditure (capex) plans over the next few years.
The rating will remain sensitive to any significant improvement in
the capital structure through fresh equity infusion or conversion
of promoter loans.

R.S. Kalyaani Hotels Private Limited started its operation in 2005
with a 48 room hotel property - Nandhana Grand.  The company is a
part of the Ravichandar Group, an established player in the
hospitality industry with six Andhra specialty restaurants in
Bangalore under the "Nandhana Palace" and "Nandhini Palace"
brands. RSKH currently has two operational hotels in its portfolio
"Nandhana Grand" and "Nandhana Hometel" (42 rooms) while a third
hotel, "Nandhana Regent" (72 rooms) is under construction and is
expected to be commence operations by August 2010.

Recent results

The company reported an operating income of INR60.3 million and a
profit after tax of INR5.0 million for 2008-09.  For the first 10
months of F2009-10 (provisional), the company posted revenues of
INR39.9 million and a net profit after tax of INR4.1 million.

ICRA has assigned an 'LBB' rating to the INR 144 million fund
based limits of Samman Lal Sher Singh Papers Private Limited.  The
outlook on the rating is stable.

The rating takes into account the intensely competitive nature of
the paper trading industry and SLSSP's modest scale of operations,
which along with the inherent nature of the business have resulted
in thin margins.  Thin margins coupled with relatively high debt
levels have resulted in moderate debt coverage indicators.  The
rating is also constrained by supplier concentration risk as 90%
of SLSSP's paper is procured from a single supplier namely Khanna
Paper Mills Limited.
Nevertheless, the rating draws comfort from SLSSP's experienced
management, its long track record in the paper trading business
and SLSSP's diversified customer base.

                        About R.S. Kalyaani

SLSSP was incorporated in 2005.  Prior to this, the business was
conducted through a partnership firm named M/s Samman Lal Sher
Singh Jain.  The partnership firm has been in the paper trading
industry since 1960.  SLSSP is a closely held company with entire
shareholding with promoters and group companies and their
friends/relatives.  The company is managed by two friends namely
Mr. Sangeet Jain and Mr. Mukul Jain.  SLSSP is involved in
wholesale trading of paper and duplex board.  The company has the
distributorship of paper manufacturing companies like Khanna Paper
Mills Limited (KPML), Murli Industries Limited, Three M Paper
Manufacturing Co. P. Ltd and Bindlas Duplex Limited. About 90% of
the paper procured by SLSSP is from KPML.


RADHA CONSTRUCTION: ICRA Assigns 'LBB' Rating on INR10MM Term Loan
------------------------------------------------------------------
ICRA has assigned a long term rating of 'LBB' to INR10 million
term loan and INR100 million fund based facilities of Radha
Construction Co.  The rating carries a stable outlook.  ICRA has
also assigned a short term rating of A4 to INR80 million non-fund
based facilities of the company.

The assigned ratings are constrained by RCC's modest scale of
operation which has remained range bound in the past,
vulnerability of its moderate profitability to raw material price
risk and intensely competitive nature of the construction
industry.  The ratings also take into account its high working
capital intensity resulting in increased funding requirements for
the firm which in absence of fresh capital infusion has led to
high gearing levels (stood at 2.4 times as on March 31, 2010) and
weak debt coverage indicators.  While assigning the ratings ICRA
has also noted the risks that are inherent in partnership firms.
The ratings however draw comfort from the partners experience in
the construction business, geographical diversification of its
operations, expansion in operating margins and its long term
association with its clients especially Military Engineering
Services (MES).

                       About Radha Construction

Radha Construction Co. was started in 1983 by Mr. Ravi Kumar Jain
and his mother as partners.  Overtime Mr. Jain introduced his

FY09, registering a rise of 55.2% in PAT.


RAJU CONSTRUCTION: CRISIL Puts 'BB-' Rating on INR60MM Cash Credit
------------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'BB-/Stable/P4+' ratings to Raju
Construction Company's bank facilities.

   Facilities                       Ratings
   ----------                       -------
   INR60.0 Million Cash Credit      BB-/Stable (Assigned)
   INR40.0 Million Bank Guarantee   P4+ (Assigned)

The ratings reflect Raju Construction's exposure to risks related
to limited project diversity, geographic concentration in
revenues, tender-based nature of its operations, and intense
competition in the civil construction industry.  These rating
weaknesses are partially offset by Raju Construction's financial
risk profile, marked by moderate debt protection measures, and the
benefits that the company derives from its strong order book.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that Raju Construction's credit profile will
sustain backed by moderate debt protection measures.  The outlook
may be revised to 'Positive' if Raju Construction's revenues
increase steadily, and if it reports stable profitability and
improvement in capital structure.  Conversely, the outlook may be
revised to 'Negative' if the firm undertakes a large debt-funded
capital expenditure programme over the medium term, leading to
material deterioration of capital structure.

                       About Raju Construction

Set up in 1981, Raju Construction undertakes civil construction
activities.  The firm's operations are managed by the partners Mr.
Jethanand Israni, Mr. Prakash Israni, and Mr. Jagdish Israni. The
firm predominantly takes up road construction projects for various
state government agencies.  It is registered with various
government agencies such as Madhya Pradesh (MP) Public Works
Department, MP Road Development Corporation (MPRDC), and Water
Resource Department.

Raju Construction reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR3.2
million on net sales of INR234.6 million for 2008-09 (refers to
financial year, April 1 to March 31) against a PAT of INR5.7
million on net sales of INR200.6 million for 2007-08.


RAMANAND STEEL: CRISIL Rates INR190 Million Cash Credit Limit 'B+'
------------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'B+/Stable' rating to the cash credit
facility of Ramanand Steel Ltd, which is part of the RSL group.

   Facilities                             Ratings
   ----------                             -------
   INR190.0 Million Cash Credit Limit     B+/Stable (Assigned)

The rating reflects the RSL group's below-average financial risk
profile, marked by low net worth, weak debt protection metrics,
and high gearing, marginal market share, and vulnerability of
margins to cyclicality in the steel industry and limited backward
integration.  These rating weaknesses are partially offset by the
benefits that the RSL group derives from its promoters' experience
in the secondary steel manufacturing industry.

For arriving at the ratings, CRISIL has combined the business and
financial risk profiles of RSL and Silver Ispat Pvt Ltd (SIPL),
together referred to as the RSL group.  This is because RSL and
SIPL have significant operational and management linkages and are
in same line of business.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that the RSL group will continue to benefit over
the medium term from the extensive experience of its promoters in
the steel industry.  The outlook may be revised to 'Positive' in
case of larger-than-expected increase in the group's revenues and
profitability, leading to higher net cash accruals, or in case of
optimization of the group's raw material inventory levels.
Conversely, the outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if the group
faces delays in the stabilization of capacities, lower-than-
expected profitability, or if it undertakes a significant debt-
funded capital expenditure programme.

                          About the Group

The RSL group manufactures mild steel (MS) ingots and pig iron.
Its production facilities are located in Sinnar (Maharashtra).
RSL has a production capacity of 28,800 tonnes per annum (tpa) for
MS ingots and 7200 tpa for pig iron. SIPL has a capacity of 18,000
tpa for MS ingots.  The RSL group is in the advanced stages of
setting up additional capacity of 10,800 tpa for manufacturing
stainless steel billets and 48,600 tpa for MS billets under RSL.

The RSL group reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR4.4 million
on net sales of INR579.4 million for 2008-09 (refers to financial
year, April 1 to March 31) against a PAT of INR4.3 million on net
sales of INR393.4 million for 2007-08.


RITURAJ HOLDINGS: CRISIL Reaffirms 'BB+' Rating on INR92MM Loan
---------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL's rating on the bank facilities of Rituraj Holdings Pvt Ltd
continues to reflect Rituraj's small scale of operations in the
competitive yarn industry, and limited financial flexibility
because of moderate net worth.  These weaknesses are partially
offset by the Rituraj's healthy financial risk profile, marked by
strong growth in revenues, and healthy debt protection metrics,
and established presence in the stretched yarn business.

   Facilities                            Ratings
   ----------                            -------
   INR58.0 Million Cash Credit Limit     BB+/Stable (Reaffirmed)
   INR92.0 Million Term Loan             BB+/Stable (Reaffirmed)

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that Rituraj will maintain its stable business
risk profile over the medium term on the back of healthy operating
margin and a stable stream of order inflow. The outlook may be
revised to 'Positive' if steady profitability and increased net
worth help strengthen Rituraj's financial risk profile.
Conversely, the outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if there is a
significant decline in Rituraj's business volumes, revenues, or
margins, or if the company undertakes large, debt-funded capital
expenditure programme.

                       About Rituraj Holdings

Set up in 1994, by Mr. G D Mundra, Rituraj manufactures stretched
yarn used in denim products, and suiting and shirting, and
chenille yarn used in furnishing fabric.  The company has a

Rituraj reported a profit after tax (PAT) of INR15.7 million on
net sales of INR252 million for 2008-09 (refers to financial year,
April 1 to March 31), against a PAT of INR10.1 million on net
sales of INR190.1 million for 2007-08.


RUHATIYA COTTON: CRISIL Rates INR70 Million Cash Credit at 'B-'
---------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'B-/Stable' rating to Ruhatiya Cotton &
Metal Pvt Ltd's cash credit facility.

   Facilities                       Ratings
   ----------                       -------
   INR70.0 Million Cash Credit      B-/Stable (Assigned)

The ratings reflect RCM's weak financial risk profile, marked by
high gearing, moderate debt protection measures, and low
profitability, and exposure to risks related to the commoditized
nature of its product (cotton), and to volatility in cotton
prices.  These rating weaknesses are partially offset by the
benefits that RCM derives from its promoters' experience in the
cotton ginning and pressing business.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that RCM will continue to benefit from its
promoters' experience in the cotton ginning and spinning business.
The outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if RCM's financial risk
profile improves, led by a significant increase in its operating
margin and higher-than-expected growth in operating revenues.
Conversely, the outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if there is a
sharp deterioration in the company's debt protection measures, or
if it extends significant financial support to other group
companies.

                        About Ruhatiya Cotton

RCM was incorporated in 1984 as a private limited company. The
company is promoted and managed by Mr. Kaluramji Ruhatiya and his

SRI VARALAXMI: CRISIL Assigns 'B+' Rating on INR100MM Cash Credit
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'B+/Stable/P4' ratings to Sri Varalaxmi
Projects Pvt Ltd's bank facilities.

   Facilities                       Ratings
   ----------                       -------
   INR100 Million Cash Credit       B+/Stable (Assigned)
   INR50 Million Bank Guarantee     P4 (Assigned)

The ratings reflect SVPPL's small scale of operations, risks
rating to revenue concentration, limited track record of executing
large projects, and below-average financial risk profile.  These
rating weaknesses are partially offset by SVPPL's healthy order
book.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that SVPPL will maintain its business risk profile
on the back of its healthy order book.  The outlook may be revised
to 'Positive' if SVPPL's revenues and operating margin increase
substantially, backed by better customer diversity.  Conversely,
the outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if the company faces time
or cost overruns in its ongoing and future projects, or undertakes
large debt-funded capital expenditure programme.

                      About Sri Varalaxmi

SVPPL (formerly, Sri Varalaxmi Steels Pvt Ltd) was set up in March

TATA MOTORS: Plans to Build Jaguar & Land Rover Models in China
---------------------------------------------------------------
Steven Rothwell and Vipin V. Nair at Bloomberg News report that
Tata Motors Ltd. plans to build Jaguar cars and Land Rover sport-
utility vehicles in China as it seeks to cut costs and expand
sales of the luxury brands in emerging markets.

Chief Executive Officer Carl-Peter Forster said Friday at a press
conference in London that the company will start Chinese
manufacturing with Land Rover models and both brands would
eventually produce as many as 40,000 vehicles combined.  He
however declined to specify a target date, Bloomberg notes.

Bloomberg relates the company's Jaguar Land Rover division will be
taking on luxury-vehicle manufacturers such as Bayerische Motoren
Werke AG and Daimler AG as disposable incomes rise in China, the
world's fastest-growing major economy.

According to Bloomberg, Jaguar Land Rover is targeting growth in
emerging markets by opening more showrooms in India and setting up
a sales company in China, where its full-year deliveries doubled
from 8,821 in a 10-month transitional period ended March 2009.
Mr. Forster said setting up production in China would require one
to two years after the company made any decision on partners and a
location, Bloomberg adds.

Mr. Forster, as cited by Bloomberg, said the division will decide
by "mid-year" on which of two plants in England will remain open
as the company consolidates production.  The factories are in
Castle Bromwich, where the Jaguar XJ and XK cars are made, and
Solihull, where Land Rover SUVs are built.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on
April 21, 2010, Moody's Investors Service upgraded Tata Motors
Ltd's corporate family rating to B2 from B3.  The outlook on the
rating is positive.

This rating action completes the rating review for possible
upgrade initiated on March 2, 2010, when TML announced its
consolidated Q3 FY2010 results.


VICTORIA AGRO: CRISIL Assigns 'B' Rating on INR335MM Term Loan
--------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has assigned its 'B/Negative' rating to Victoria Agro Food
Processing Private Ltd's bank facilities.

   Facilities                       Ratings
   ----------                       -------
   INR65.0 Million Cash Credit      B/Negative (Assigned)
   INR335.0 Million Term Loan       B/Negative (Assigned)

The rating reflects VAFPPL's weak financial risk profile, on
account of high gearing, and exposure to risks related to the
implementation and stabilization of its distillery unit, and to
customer concentration in its revenue profile.  These rating
weaknesses are partially offset by the benefits that VAFPPL
derives from the excise rebate program announced by the Government
of Maharashtra, by setting up the distillery unit in Maharashtra.

Outlook: Negative

CRISIL expects VAFPPL's cash accruals to be insufficient to meet
its debt repayment obligation, once commercial production on its
distillery unit commences in July 2010.  The outlook may be
revised to 'Stable' if VAFPPL commences operations at its
distillery unit in July 2010, and reschedules its debt obligation
before the due date.  The rating may be downgraded in case the
company fails to reschedule its debt obligation, resulting in
delays in repayments or tight liquidity, or on account of further
delays or cost overruns in the implementation of its project.

                      About Victoria Agro

VAFPPL, incorporated in May 2008, is setting up a cereal-grain-
based distillery unit in Latur (Maharashtra). The plant, once
operational, will have processing capacity of 60,000 litres per
day. The company will manufacture extra-neutral alcohol and
rectified spirit at the plant. VAFPPL is promoted by the Marwaha
and Jajoo families, each holding a stake of 50 per cent in the
company.


VHM INDUSTRIES: CRISIL Lifts Rating on INR500.9MM Loan to 'B+'
--------------------------------------------------------------
CRISIL has upgraded its rating on VHM Industries Ltd's long-term
bank facilities to 'B+/Stable' from 'B/Stable', while reaffirming
the short-term rating at 'P4'.

   Facilities                         Ratings
   ----------                         -------
   INR500.9 Million Term Loan         B+/Stable (Upgraded from
   (Enhanced From INR315.9 Million)              'B/Stable')

   INR510.0 Million Cash Credit*      B+/Stable (Upgraded from
   (Enhanced from INR260.0 Million)              'B/Stable')

   INR150.0 Million Letter of Credit  P4
   (Enhanced from INR80.0 Million)

   INR20.0 Million Bank Guarantee     P4 (Assigned)

   * Includes FCNRB of INR194 million.

The long-term rating upgrade follows the improvement in VHM's
business performance, marked by an improvement in operating
margin; the margin has increased to 11 per cent in 2009-10 (refers
to financial year, April 1 to March 31), against 7% in 2008-09.
The company is focusing on higher-value-added products and is
gradually shifting its revenue-mix towards manufacturing, from
trading in fabrics.  CRISIL expects the manufacturing segment to
contribute more than 50 per cent of VHM's revenues over the medium
term, leading to the operating margin being sustained at 11 to 12
per cent.

However, the ratings continue to reflect VHM's below-average
financial risk profile marked by high gearing and weak debt
protection measures, and exposure to risks related to its large,
debt-funded capital expenditure (capex) plans.  These rating
weaknesses are partially offset by VHM's established market
position in the fabrics segment, and its widespread distribution
network.

Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes that VHM will continue to report healthy growth in
revenues from its fabric manufacturing segment on the back of its
established market position and widespread distribution reach.
The outlook could be revised to 'Positive' if the company
stabilizes its enhanced capacities before schedule, leading to
more-than-expected improvement in its profitability or in case of
an improvement in its debt protection metrics.  Conversely, the
outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if VHM's large, debt-funded
capex plans further deteriorate its debt protection metrics.

                       About VHM Industries

Incorporated in 1989 as a private limited company by Mr. Vijayraj
Mehta and family, VHM was reconstituted as a closely held public
limited company in 1996.  VHM manufactures and processes blended

JAPAN AIRLINES: Bares FY2010 Route, Flight and Fleet Plans
----------------------------------------------------------
Japan Airlines announces that revisions will be made to a part of
the route, flight frequency and fleet plan for the first half of
fiscal year 2010, and decided on plans for the second half of the
year ending March 31, 2011.

JAL has restructured its overall network with the clear objective
of returning to profitability as swiftly as possible by creating a
solid business model that can withstand the fluctuations in
economic conditions and by generating profits without overly
relying on future traffic demand.  This plan includes the
retirement of the Boeing 747-400 and Airbus 300-600 aircraft by
the end of this fiscal year, bold withdrawal from several overseas
regions, and the drastic contraction in the size of operations. It
is formulated to achieve within one year, substantial reductions
in the airline's fixed costs, a target which was initially planned
to be accomplished over a period of 3 years.

The airline has decided to discontinue services on 15
international routes with 86 weekly roundtrip flights, as well as
on 30 domestic routes with a maximum of 58 daily roundtrip
flights.  Totaling the changes made since fiscal year 2009, JAL
will end operations on 28 international routes with the closure of
11 overseas bases while domestically, 50 routes will be terminated
along with eight offices.  The international and domestic
passenger capacity will as a result be reduced by 40% and 30%
respectively compared to levels in fiscal year 2008.

The extent to which the route and flight frequency plan has been
streamlined is vital to achieving a swift revival of the JAL
Group.  JAL seeks the understanding of its customers who will be
inconvenienced by the changes announced.

A. INTERNATIONAL PASSENGER

While the overall scale of the airline's international passenger
operations will shrink by 40%, JAL will greatly expand the use of
Haneda airport for international flights to maintain a global
network with a focus on pivotal routes that can yield higher
business demand.

Strengthening Narita Airport's Hub Function

JAL will leverage on Narita airport as a global hub that serves
excellently as a link between North America and Asia, and through
detailed planning of flight schedules, provide transit passengers
with much smoother transfers and convenience.  Furthermore, with
the use of JAL's feeder services, it is convenient for passengers
to connect between international flights at Narita and key
domestic locations in Japan.

                 Strengthening of International
                       Flights at Haneda

Capitalizing on Haneda airport's strategic location, Japan
Airlines plans to almost triple the number of international
flights operating out from the airport that is conveniently
situated in metropolitan Tokyo, from the current 5 daily flights
to 14.  In addition to the current short-haul flights within Asia
operating during the convenient afternoon time belt, JAL intends
to utilize late night and early morning slots at the airport to
launch new routes to San Francisco, Honolulu, Paris and Bangkok.
JAL aims to construct a well-balanced network by teaming high-
traffic services from Haneda to the Americas, Europe and Asia,
with its comprehensive connections to regions throughout Japan.

           Options at Kansai, Osaka and Chubu, Nagoya

While JAL maintains its forte in operating short-haul Asia flights
and flights to Honolulu from Kansai and Chubu airports, the
airline plans to advance with the use of smaller aircraft to
improve profitability.  The aircraft configuration of Boeing 737-
800 on the thriving Kansai=Gimpo route however, will be changed
from a 144-seater to one with a capacity for 176 in order to
capture the healthy demand on that route.

B. DOMESTIC PASSENGER

Aimed at improving profitability of the business in the face of
low traffic demand, domestic passenger operations will be reduced
by 30% in capacity, achieved through flight discontinuations and
frequency reductions on underperforming routes and by means of
using smaller, more efficient jets.

available for free at:

JAPAN AIRLINES: Proposes to Revise Cargo Fuel Surcharge for June
----------------------------------------------------------------
Japan Airlines has applied to the Japanese Ministry of Land,
Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism to revise from June 1, 2010,
its international cargo fuel surcharge for flights departing from
Japan only.

Since April 1, 2009, JAL started adjusting its cargo fuel
surcharge levels on a monthly basis by using the one-month average
fuel price of Singapore kerosene of the month before last. As the
average fuel price of Singapore kerosene for the month of April in
2010 was US$94.84 per barrel, the benchmark fuel price used for
calculation of the fuel surcharge level in June will be within the
range of US$90.00 to US$94.99 per barrel.

The international cargo fuel surcharge will therefore increase on
long-haul international routes from 80 yen per kg to 87 yen, on
medium-haul international routes from 69 yen per kg to 75 yen, and
on short-haul routes from 58 yen per kg to 63 yen accordingly.

A schedule for JAL's June 2010 Cargo Fuel Surcharge is available
for free at:

JAPAN AIRLINES: To Keep Int'l Fuel Surcharge for July-Sept.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The JAL Group will maintain the current level of fuel surcharge
for all international passenger tickets issued between July and
September, 2010.

The price of Singapore kerosene-type jet fuel during the 3 month
period from February 2010 to April 2010 averaged US$88.51 per
barrel.  With reference to the fuel surcharge benchmark list for
the fiscal year of 2010, this remains corresponding to Zone C
where fuel surcharges range from 500 yen on a Japan-Korea ticket
to 13,500 yen on a Japan-Brazil ticket per person per sector
flown, on tickets purchased in Japan.  This level of surcharge
will be applied to all international passenger tickets issued
between July 1, and September 30, 2010.

The company continues to conduct such countermeasures as
introducing more fuel-efficient, small and medium-sized aircraft
to its fleet, to minimize the full impact of high fuel prices.

Despite these measures, the company remains reluctantly obliged to
ask its international passengers to bear part of the burden caused
by the increase in the price of fuel.

A schedule of fuel surcharges from July 1 to September 30, 2010 is
available for free at:

is expected to take about three months to close, pending the
Chinese government's approval, Reuters relates citing Hynix in a

HYUNDAI CEMENT: Creditors Seek Debt Workout
-------------------------------------------
Creditors of Hyundai Cement Co. are seeking a debt workout for the
cement maker as it is grappling with rising debt and a debt
guarantee for its affiliate, Yonhap News Agency reports.

Industry sources told Yonhap that the creditors will make a final
decision on whether they will put the company under debt workout
this week.

According to Yonhap, the creditors said Hyundai Cement and its
affiliate, Sungwoo Engineering & Construction Co., have been

KUMHO ASIANA: Unit Inks Debt Restructuring Pact With Creditors
--------------------------------------------------------------
Bloomberg News reports that Kumho Tire Co. and its creditors
signed Monday a debt-restructuring agreement.  The company said in
a regulatory filing that the agreement will be valid until the end
of 2014, according to Bloomberg.

As reported in the Troubled Company Reporter-Asia Pacific on
August 6, 2009, The Korea Herald said Kumho Asiana has been
suffering from a liquidity crisis, which observers describe as a
typical case of acquisition indigestion.  In a bid to ease a cash
shortage, the conglomerate in July decided to re-sell the
controlling stakes and management rights of Daewoo Engineering,
after acquiring it in 2006 for KRW6.4 trillion.  Bloomberg said
creditors including Shinhan Bank may force the company to repay
KRW3.9 trillion (US$3.2 billion) by June if they exercise an
option to sell Daewoo Engineering shares they hold back to Kumho
Asiana.

The creditors decided on December 30 to put two other ailing units
-- Kumho Industrial Co. and Kumho Tire Co. -- under a debt
rescheduling program.  Meanwhile, the group's other two units --
Korea Kumho Petrochemical Co. and Asiana Airlines Inc. -- will
have to improve their financial health through rigorous self-
restructuring efforts as earlier agreed with creditors.

Kumho Asiana unveiled a restructuring plan on January 5 that
involves raising KRW1.3 trillion (US$1.1 billion) by selling off
assets, while cutting costs via a 20% reduction in executive
positions and wages, Yonhap reported.

According to Bloomberg data, the group's net debt was KRW2.21
trillion as of September 30, 2009 -- more than double the KRW998.5
billion it had at the end of 2005 before Kumho Asiana bought 72%
of Daewoo Engineering for KRW6.43 trillion.  Kumho Tire's net debt
stood at KRW1.71 trillion at the end of September 2009.

                        About Kumho Asiana

Established in 1946, Kumho Asiana Group is a large South Korean
conglomerate, with subsidiaries in the automotive, industry,
leisure, logistic, chemical and airline fields.  The group is
headquartered at the Kumho Asiana Main Tower in Sinmunno 1-ga,

SSANGYONG MOTOR: Receives Seven Initial Takeover Bids
-----------------------------------------------------
Yonhap News Agency reports that seven companies submitted initial
bids for Ssangyong Motor on Friday, as it concluded accepting
preliminary bids for the takeover.

Yonhap relates the company began accepting letters of intent on
May 10 from potential buyers, who will take over a majority of its
stake.  It will choose a preferred bidder in August from the

Ssangyong.

"As the process of accepting letters of intent concluded,
Ssangyong Motor and sale management companies will review the
bidders and notify them of future courses on June 4, followed by
the distribution of information packages to the bidders on
June 7," Yonhap cited Ssangyong in a press release.  The company
will receive official offers by July 20 following an inspection of
the bidders June 7 through July 16, it added.

According to Yonhap, Ssangyong did not reveal the names of
individual bidders at their request but industry sources said they
included Young An Hat Co., a local headwear company that also owns
local bus maker Daewoo Bus Co., and India's top vehicle and
tractor maker Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd.

Bloomberg News, citing MoneyToday, reports potential bidders,
including Renault Samsung Motors Co., may have to offer at least
KRW700 billion to cover the automaker's debt.

Samjong KPMG, a South Korean unit of the global services firm
KPMG, and Macquarie Securities are managing the sale.

Seoul Central District Court to stave off a complete collapse.  In
February, the Seoul Central District Court accepted Ssangyong's
application to rehabilitate under court protection.  The court

executive Park Young-tae to run the automaker.

A TCR-AP report on Sept. 16, 2009, said Ssangyong Motor submitted
a revival plans to the Seoul Central District Court seeking
capital reduction and a debt-for-equity swap by creditor.  A
South Korean bankruptcy court approved in December Ssangyong
Motor's restructuring plan despite opposition by some bondholders,

Headquartered in Johor, Malaysia, Syarikat Kayu Wangi Berhad is
principally involved in the development of residential and
commercial projects.  Its other activities include housing
construction, production of sawn timber, manufacture of
prefabricated timber rooftrusses and timber trading.  The
Company first made a loss in 1999 when it defaulted on its first
bond payment.  The company has failed to turn its finances
around and has been suffering continuous losses since then.

The company was classified as an affected listed issuer of the
Amended PN17/2005 on May 8, 2006, since its latest audited
financial statements for the year ended Nov. 30, 2005, showed
that the company's shareholders' equity is MYR7,189,000, which
is less than 25% of the company's issued and paid up capital.

Tuesday's edition of the TCR-AP delivers a list of indicative
prices for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par.
Prices are obtained by TCR-AP editors from a variety of outside
sources during the prior week we think are reliable.   Those
sources may not, however, be complete or accurate.  The Tuesday
Bond Pricing table is compiled on the Friday prior to
publication.  Prices reported are not intended to reflect actual
trades.  Prices for actual trades are probably different.  Our
objective is to share information, not make markets in publicly
traded securities.  Nothing in the TCR-AP constitutes an offer
or solicitation to buy or sell any security of any kind.  It is
likely that some entity affiliated with a TCR-AP editor holds
some position in the issuers' public debt and equity securities
about which we report.

A list of Meetings, Conferences and Seminars appears in each
Wednesday's edition of the TCR-AP. Submissions about insolvency-
related conferences are encouraged.  Send announcements to
conferences@bankrupt.com

Friday's edition of the TCR-AP features a list of companies with
insolvent balance sheets obtained by our editors based on the
latest balance sheets publicly available a day prior to
publication.  At first glance, this list may look like the
definitive compilation of stocks that are ideal to sell short.
Don't be fooled.  Assets, for example, reported at historical
cost net of depreciation may understate the true value of a
firm's assets.  A company may establish reserves on its balance
sheet for liabilities that may never materialize.  The prices at
which equity securities trade in public market are determined by
more than a balance sheet solvency test.
