The rating agency said the downgrade reflects deterioration in the liquidity profile of the company on account of a delay in the realization of its receivables from its micro-irrigation systems (MIS) segment.
Reports state that Jain Irrigation had around 74% of its long-term debt obligations in foreign currency. The company hedges only a small portion of this debt, while profitability from overseas operations and derivatives help in mitigating the foreign exchange risk to an extent.
In the past four trading sessions, the stock has tanked 45% on reports of debt default.

From the construction sector, IRB Infrastructure Developers share price will be in focus today as it is reported that the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) was planning to find a new operator for the Mumbai-Pune Expressway after the company's agreement ends in August.
Domestic Air Passenger Traffic Rebounds in May 2019
In the news from the aviation space, domestic air passenger traffic saw a rebound in May 2019 as it rose by 2.96% after a slump in April.
According to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) data, domestic airlines flew 12.2 million passengers in May 2019, as against 11.9 million passengers carried in the same month of last year.
In April 2019, domestic air traffic dipped 4.5% year-on-year (YoY). This was the sharpest decline in at least five years. Suspension of operations by Jet Airways on April 17 due to lack of funds was one of the primary reasons why domestic air traffic saw a fall in that month.
In terms of market share, InterGlobe Aviation (IndiGo) maintained its lead position with 49% share of the domestic passenger market in May.
SpiceJet's market share increased from 13.1% in April to 14.8% in May, giving the carrier number two spot. The passenger load factor for SpiceJet was 93.9% in May.
