Rating rationale

Bank credit growth at 18.3% is a two-year high, spreads held ~112bps through the July yield back-up, and July bond issuance stayed above ₹92,000 cr: the financing channel is open. Selective on NBFC funding and the shadow-leverage build the CSI tracks.

Rating history

Jun 2026InitiatedInaugural stance (Jun 2026 vintage).

Jul 2026ReviewedAffirmed Constructive: spreads held through the shock; watch FY27 credit-growth moderation.

Aug 2026AffirmedConstructive affirmed: 18.3% credit growth (two-year high) with stable AAA spreads is the strongest credit tape of the cycle; the caveat moved from moderation risk to froth risk.

Sep 2026AffirmedConstructive affirmed and strengthened: credit growth accelerated further to 19.1% (fortnight to 31 Jul), broad-based across industry (+20%), services (+23%) and personal loans (+16.2%). Spreads held flat at ~111bps. The froth watch-item is now live, not hypothetical.
