TVS Holdings: CRISIL Reaffirms AA+/Stable on NCDs; Withdraws Bank Loan Rating
CRISIL Ratings has reaffirmed TVS Holdings Limited's (TVSHL) Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) rating at CRISIL AA+/Stable and withdrawn the rating on its ₹650 crore Long Term Bank facility. The rating reflects TVSHL's strong credit profile, supported by its stake in TVS Motor Company and dividend income. The company recently invested ₹526.79 crore in Home Credit India Finance Pvt Ltd, funded by ₹650 crore NCD issuance.
Credit rating actions, especially reaffirmations and withdrawals, can influence investor perception and the cost of borrowing. The affirmation of a strong rating on a significant debt instrument like NCDs is material, though the withdrawal of the bank facility rating may require closer monitoring by lenders.
The rating reaffirmation on NCDs is positive, but the withdrawal of the bank facility rating introduces a neutral element. The overall announcement details credit rating actions without significant positive or negative financial performance disclosures.
TVS Holdings Limited (formerly Sundaram-Clayton Limited) has announced an update on its credit ratings from CRISIL Ratings Limited. CRISIL has reaffirmed the rating on the company's Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) of ₹1000 crore to CRISIL AA+/Stable. Concurrently, the rating on the company's Long Term Bank facility of ₹650 crore has been withdrawn at the company's request, in line with CRISIL Ratings' policy.
The reaffirmation of the NCD rating reflects TVSHL's healthy debt cover, its ability to raise further debt, and a strong credit risk profile. This is significantly enhanced by substantial annual dividend income from its 50.26% holding in subsidiary TVS Motor Company Ltd (TVSM), which provides considerable financial flexibility. However, these strengths are partially offset by exposure to market risks and increasing exposure to its subsidiary, Home Credit India Finance Pvt Ltd (HCIFPL).
TVS Motor Company continues to demonstrate sustained business performance, driven by healthy volume growth in both domestic and export markets, strong operating profitability, and a strengthening financial risk profile. TVSM's revenue grew at a compound annual rate of approximately 20% during fiscal 2022-2025, and CRISIL expects robust double-digit revenue growth to continue. Consolidated operating profitability is estimated at around 11% for fiscal 2026, driven by improved operating leverage, product premiumization, cost control, and reduced losses in overseas subsidiaries.
In recent corporate actions, on March 28, 2026, TVSHL approved the allotment of equity shares in Home Credit India Finance Pvt Ltd (HCIFPL) for ₹526.79 crore. This investment was funded by raising ₹650 crore through NCDs on March 24, 2026. Previously, on September 22, 2025, TVSHL's board approved a scheme for the issuance of bonus cumulative Non-Convertible Redeemable Preference Shares (NCRPS) to its shareholders.
