GRADING OF REAL ESTATE DEVELOPERS and PROJECTS

ICRA’s service of Grading of Real Estate Developers and Projects, by providing an independent opinion on the relative performance capability of real estate development entities, seeks to serve as a tool for identifying and managing the risks associated with the entities concerned. For the investor (buyer of property), the Gradings communicate the risks associated with the developer’s ability to deliver in accordance with the terms, quality parameters, and time stipulated. For developers, the Gradings, by providing a scientific assessment of their abilities and risk profiles, serve to assist them in presenting their case to lenders.
