DBRS Morningstar Withdraws Rating on one Indian Government STRIP Security

DBRS, Inc. (DBRS Morningstar) has withdrawn the rating applied to one Indian Government STRIP (Separately Traded Interest and Principal) Security, ISIN IN000642C032. DBRS Morningstar typically applies sovereign issuer ratings to individual debt securities issued by the sovereign. However, STRIP securities typically require some additional analysis to confirm that the security is identical in credit risk to other securities issued by the government. This STRIP security was misidentified as a conventional security when issued.

The withdrawal of this specific security rating has no implications for our ratings on the Republic of India (BBB (low), Stable).
