India Ratings Upgrades Aye Finance's NCDs & Bank Loans to 'IND A+/Stable', CP to 'IND A1+'
India Ratings has upgraded Aye Finance's rating for Non-Convertible Debentures and Bank Loan Facilities to 'IND A+/Stable' and Commercial Paper to 'IND A1+'. The upgrade is driven by improved capitalisation post-IPO, a stronger loan portfolio, and diversified funding. The company's AUM was ₹70.44 billion at FYE26.
A credit rating upgrade typically leads to a lower cost of borrowing, improved access to capital markets, and enhanced investor confidence, which can significantly benefit the company's growth prospects and financial flexibility.
The credit rating upgrade by India Ratings and Research signifies improved financial health and stability of Aye Finance Limited, which is a positive development for the company and its stakeholders.
Aye Finance Limited (formerly Aye Finance Private Limited) has been upgraded by India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra). The rating for Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) and Bank Loan Facilities has been revised to 'IND A+/Stable' from 'IND A/Stable'. The Commercial Paper (CP) rating has been upgraded to 'IND A1+' from 'IND A1'.
This upgrade reflects Aye Finance's improved capitalisation, driven by an equity raise in FY26 through an initial public offering, a stronger secured loan portfolio mix, a seasoned hypothecation loan book, enhanced profitability buffers, and a diversified funding base. The company's improved capital levels provide headroom for loan growth and scaling of its franchise, with leverage maintained below 4.0x.
The rating rationale also highlights the strengthening loan book through focused expansion of mortgage products, improved profitability with scale driving operating leverage, and established IT systems. However, elevated credit costs due to hypothecation portfolio volatility remain a key monitorable. The company's AUM stood at ₹70.44 billion at FYE26. The gross NPAs increased to 4.77% in FY26, while net NPAs were at 1.79%. The company had unencumbered cash and cash equivalents of around ₹7.6 billion at end-March 2026, indicating adequate liquidity.
