For an investor, what is the point of having a rating that doesn't take into account the issue price? In my opinion, this CRISIL rating is useless.

In the present market condition,MCX has decided to postpone its IPO plan. The SEBI approval for IPO expires on August 11th. So they are planning to reapply for the IPO the very next day after the earlier validity expire, the source said(http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/Market_News/MCX_may_submit_fresh_IPO_draft/articleshow/3308099.cms). But the fresh application has to be submitted within the current financial year. In case the company fails to do this, it would have to undertake a fresh audit, which would be a long-drawn process.
