IndusInd Bank Limited has announced that Moody's Investors Service has upgraded the bank's rating outlook from "Negative to Stable" and reaffirmed its credit ratings. The upgrade is effective as of May 20, 2026.
The specific ratings reaffirmed include Ba1/NP for long-term (LT) and short-term (ST) foreign and local currency bank deposit and issuer ratings, as well as Counterparty Risk Ratings (CRRs). The senior unsecured medium-term note program has been rated (P)Ba1, and LT and ST Counterparty Risk (CR) Assessments are Ba1(cr)/NP(cr). Additionally, the Baseline Credit Assessment (BCA) and adjusted BCA have been affirmed at Ba2.
Moody's cited the stabilization of the bank's senior leadership team and an easing of funding and liquidity pressures as key factors for the outlook change. The agency also noted governance improvements, revising IndusInd's governance issuer profile score to G-3 from G-4. The bank's strong capital, solid pre-provisioning profitability, and adequate liquidity are expected to mitigate asset quality stress. Moody's anticipates IndusInd's capital to remain strong, supported by gradual profitability improvement and moderate balance sheet growth over the next 12-18 months, with the Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio improving to 16.2% as of March 2026. Funding risks have abated, with the share of retail and current/savings account deposits increasing to around 41% of total deposits as of March 2026. Asset quality is expected to remain stable, with gross problem loan ratio at 3.4% as of March 2026. Profitability, measured by net income to tangible assets, is expected to remain below 0.5% in fiscal 2027, with gradual improvement anticipated as provisioning costs moderate.
