Muthoot Capital Services receives BWR AA/Stable rating for ₹3,500 crore bank loan facilities
Muthoot Capital Services Limited has been assigned a "BWR AA/Stable" rating for its ₹3,500 crore bank loan facilities by Brickwork Ratings. The rating factors in strong group support, experienced management, and comfortable capital adequacy. Key risks include portfolio concentration and evolving asset quality, though improvements are noted.
A strong credit rating can improve borrowing costs and access to further debt financing, which is crucial for an NBFC. It also enhances overall market confidence in the company.
The assignment of a 'BWR AA/Stable' rating for a significant amount of bank loan facilities is a positive development for the company, indicating a strong creditworthiness.
Muthoot Capital Services Limited has been assigned a credit rating of "BWR AA/Stable" for its Bank Loan Facilities amounting to ₹3,500 crores by Brickwork Ratings. This rating applies to fund-based facilities with a long-term tenure.
The rating rationale highlights several key strengths, including the implicit support from the Muthoot Pappachan Group (MPG), a strong board of directors with experienced independent members, and the company's experienced management team in the vehicle finance sector. The company's comfortable capital adequacy, with a total CRAR of 22.07% (Tier I: 22.06%) as of June 30, 2026, comfortably exceeding the RBI's regulatory threshold of 15%, and a Debt-to-Equity ratio of 4.88x as of the same date, are also noted as strengths.
Muthoot Capital Services, established in 1994, operates as a deposit-taking Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC-D) and is a leading vehicle finance company. It is part of the renowned Muthoot Pappachan Group, also known as Muthoot Blue.
However, the rating also acknowledges certain credit risks. These include a geographically concentrated portfolio, primarily in the southern states of India, although this concentration has been reducing over the years. The borrower profile, consisting mainly of retail two-wheeler and used vehicle buyers, is sensitive to macroeconomic shocks. While asset quality has been improving, with GNPA at 3.94% and NNPA at 2.36% as of June 30, 2026, it remains monitorable. The company has recalibrated its underwriting and collections mechanisms, leading to a reduction in GNPA from a peak of 25.93% in FY22 to the current levels.
Liquidity indicators are assessed as strong, with positive cumulative mismatches across all buckets up to one year and substantial liquidity buffers. The company expects to roll over its facilities seamlessly, providing a 1-month liquidity coverage ratio of 1.3x.
