Shriram Finance Long-Term Rating Upgraded to Crisil AAA/Stable by CRISIL
CRISIL Ratings upgraded Shriram Finance's long-term rating to 'Crisil AAA/Stable' and reaffirmed its short-term rating at 'Crisil A1+'. The upgrade follows MUFG Bank's acquisition of a 20% stake after a ₹39,618 crore preferential issue. This significantly strengthened Shriram Finance's net worth to over ₹1 lakh crore.
A credit rating upgrade to AAA is a significant event that enhances the company's credibility, potentially lowering borrowing costs and attracting more investors, thereby having a high impact on its financial standing and operations.
The upgrade in credit rating by CRISIL to the highest level ('AAA') signifies improved financial health and reduced risk for the company, which is a positive development.
Shriram Finance Limited announced that CRISIL Ratings Limited has upgraded its long-term rating to 'Crisil AAA/Crisil PPMLD AAA/Stable' and removed the ratings from 'Watch with Positive Implications'. The short-term rating has been reaffirmed at 'Crisil A1+'.
This upgrade follows the completion of Shriram Finance's definitive agreement with MUFG Bank Ltd. On April 8, 2026, Shriram Finance completed the allotment of equity shares to MUFG Bank, resulting in MUFG Bank acquiring a 20% stake. This transaction has significantly strengthened Shriram Finance's capital profile, with its net worth crossing ₹1 lakh crore post-transaction.
CRISIL has also withdrawn its ratings on Non-Convertible Debentures of ₹1,190 crore, Long-Term Principal Protected Market Linked Debentures of ₹50 crore, and Subordinated Debt of ₹40 crore upon their redemption. The rating rationale highlights Shriram Finance's market leadership in the NBFC ecosystem, healthy earnings profile, and a diversified resource profile. The association with MUFG Bank is expected to further benefit Shriram Finance's liability franchise through access to funds at a lower cost.
