India Inc’s credit quality remained robust in FY24, say rating agencies

India Inc's credit quality remained strong in FY24, with more entities being upgraded than downgraded. Credit rating agencies attribute this to a resilient economy, robust domestic consumption, government infrastructure spending, and healthy balance sheets. Despite global uncertainties, the credit ratios remained elevated for most agencies. Sectors benefiting from domestic consumption and government spending, such as infrastructure and construction, saw the most upgrades. However, some export-linked sectors experienced downgrades due to subdued global demand and high-cost inventory. The outlook for FY25 remains positive, with upgrades expected to continue surpassing downgrades.

Fertiliser stocks: Why a normal monsoon may not bring all the cheer

Coromandel International Ltd (CIL) and Paradeep Phosphates Ltd (PPL) have reported a subdued performance in Q1 FY25 due to lower sales volumes. However, the companies' long-term growth strategies are promising, and their outlook is expected to improve in the medium term. The forecast for above-normal monsoon and the implementation of protective measures for the tyre industry are some of the factors supporting their medium-term outlook. Despite this, valuations for the companies are not considered inexpensive. Raw material prices and the revision of subsidy rates are some factors to be watched closely.
