The reaffirmation of strong credit ratings and the enhancement of credit limits by CARE Ratings indicate a positive outlook on the company's financial health and stability.
Poonawalla Fincorp Limited (PFL) has announced that CARE Ratings Limited has reaffirmed its ratings on various debt instruments and bank facilities. The company's long-term bank facilities were reaffirmed at CARE AAA; Stable, with an enhancement in the limit to ₹40,020.00 crore from ₹27,520.00 crore. Other reaffirmed ratings include CARE AAA; Stable for subordinated debt and non-convertible debentures, and CARE A1+ for short-term bank facilities and commercial paper. A new subordinated debt facility was assigned a rating of CARE AAA; Stable.
The rating rationale highlights the expectation of strong support from the Cyrus Poonawalla group, which holds a significant stake in PFL.
