Indias strong macroeconomic trends improve credit quality of finance companies: S&P Global
Higher inflation or interest rates than expected remain key risks to S&P Globals forecasts. Rising interest rates are likely to push up borrowing cost for Indian finance companies.
The credit quality of Indian finance companies will continue to improve owing to the country's strong macroeconomic trends, said S&P Global Ratings. The improvement in credit profiles of finance companies will be far from uniform, said S&P Global credit analyst Deepali Seth Chhabria.
"Stronger companies will likely gain market share, given their better funding access. Meanwhile, weaker players could resort to originate-and-distribute business models to tide over the liquidity stress," Chhabria said.

Companies with strong governance and parentage are likely to fare better than others. Emerging co-lending models are easing the liquidity stress. "We expect bank borrowings to dominate incremental funding in 2023," S&P Global said.
The outlooks on most rated finance companies are stable, reflecting their strong earnings, capitalization, and improving asset quality.
