Muthoot Capital Services' Credit Rating Outlook Revised to 'Positive' by CRISIL Ratings
The revision of the outlook to 'Positive' and reaffirmation of ratings, along with the assignment of a new rating, can improve the company's access to funding and potentially lower borrowing costs, influencing investor confidence.
The outlook for Muthoot Capital Services Limited's long-term ratings has been revised to 'Positive' from 'Stable' by CRISIL Ratings, and a 'Crisil A+/Positive' rating was assigned to its Subordinated Debt, indicating an improved credit risk profile and potential for upgrade.
CRISIL Ratings Limited has revised the outlook on Muthoot Capital Services Limited's (MCSL) long-term credit facilities, fixed deposits, long-term principal protected market-linked debentures (MLDs), and non-convertible debentures (NCDs) to 'Positive' from 'Stable' on September 25, 2025. * The ratings for these instruments have been reaffirmed. * CRISIL Ratings also assigned a 'Crisil A+/Positive' rating to the company's ₹ 50 crore Subordinated Debt. * Total Bank Loan Facilities of ₹ 2,500 crore were reaffirmed at Crisil A+/Positive. * Commercial Paper of ₹ 400 crore was reaffirmed at Crisil A1+. * The revision in outlook mirrors a similar rating action on Muthoot Fincorp Limited (MFL), the flagship company of the Muthoot Pappachan group (MPG), reflecting strong operational linkages and support from the group. * Key strengths include strong financial, operational, and managerial support from MPG, adequate capitalisation (net worth of ₹ 654 crore and gearing of 4.6 times as on June 30, 2025), and extensive management experience in vehicle finance. * The company's Assets Under Management (AUM) grew to approximately ₹ 3,239 crore as on June 30, 2025, from ₹ 2,018 crore as on March 31, 2024. * Asset quality has shown improvement, with Gross Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) falling to 4.9% as on March 31, 2025, from 10.2% in fiscal 2024. However, there was a slight uptick to 5.76% in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 due to collection issues in certain states. * Profitability saw improvement in fiscal 2025 with a Profit After Tax (PAT) of ₹ 46 crore and Return on Managed Assets (RoMA) of 1.5%. However, the first quarter of fiscal 2026 reported a loss of ₹ 4.9 crore and RoMA of -0.5% due to higher credit costs and a reduction in net interest margin. * Geographical concentration has reduced, with southern states accounting for 50% of the portfolio as on June 30, 2025, down from 83% in March 2018. * Liquidity remains adequate with cumulative positive mismatches across all buckets up to 1 year as on March 31, 2025, and cash and equivalents of ₹ 447 crore as on August 31, 2025. * CRISIL Ratings expects MCSL to maintain adequate capitalisation and remain an integral part of MPG, benefiting from group linkages over the medium term.
