Emerging diversified construction firms set for stable FY26 growth: Crisil

Emerging diversified construction firms are expected to witness stable growth in 2025-26, with revenues projected to rise by 9-11 per cent, Crisil Ratings said on Tuesday. Healthy order books, driven by the timely execution of projects, supporting their credentials, have resulted in the continued scale-up of operations, it said. "Emerging diversified construction companies will continue to see steady growth this fiscal, with revenues growing 9-11 per cent compared with a 15 per cent compounded annual growth rate in the five fiscals through 2025," it said in a statement. However, limited ability to pass on the impact of sharp commodity price fluctuations and stronger competition will limit the operating margins to 10-11 per cent. While the working capital requirements of emerging construction companies will be higher on-year, it will be funded mainly by better cash flows and risk management practices, thus limiting fund-based working capital bank borrowings. Timely execution of a ..

RBI rate cuts to impact key profitability indicator of banks: Crisil

The Reserve Bank's rate cuts will lead to an up to 0.20 per cent slip in return on assets, a key profitability indicator, for banks in FY26, a domestic rating agency said on Wednesday. Crisil Ratings said the RoA will contract by 0.10-0.20 per cent to 1.1-1.2 per cent in FY26 from an over-two-decade high of 1.3 per cent in FY25. Compression in the net interest margin by a similar level will be the key driver for the slip in RoA, the agency said, explaining that in a falling interest environment, interest rates on loans are expected to reduce faster than those on deposits. "Of the loan assets, 45 per cent are linked to an external benchmark, primarily repo. Typically, these are repriced rapidly after rate cuts. On the other hand, any reduction in term deposit (TD) rates will apply only to incremental deposits and renewals, resulting in a slower transmission of the reduction to the liability side," its director Subha Sri Narayanan said. Apart from NIMs, the agency said, credit costs

Tractor sales in FY26 to hit record 975K units, ₹4K cr capex likely: Crisil

Higher minimum support prices for key cash crops, better replacement and construction demand amid hopes of above-normal monsoon are likely to drive domestic tractor sales to hit an all-time high of around 9.75 lakh units in 2025-26, growing at 3-5 per cent, according to Crisil Ratings. A strategic capex cycle worth Rs 4,000 crore is around the corner in the Indian tractor industry with capacity utilisation nearing optimal levels of 75-80 per cent and the push for cleaner technologies under TREM V, the analytics firm said in a statement. The emission norm of 'TREM V' is expected from April 1, 2026, pre-buying towards fiscal-end may also provide a fillip to volume, it added. "As a result, tractor sales this fiscal year are expected to surpass the peak of 9.45 lakh units achieved in fiscal 2023, sustaining the back-to-back volume growth seen during fiscal 2019," it noted. There was a healthy 7 per cent increase in sales in FY25, Crisil Ratings said. The Indian Meteorological Departme

Domestic CV volumes may touch 1 mn units mark this financial year: Crisil

Domestic CV volumes are expected to touch 1 million units mark this fiscal, the pre-pandemic peak logged in FY19, driven by accelerating infrastructure execution, replacement demand and policy support from the PM-eBus Sewa scheme, ratings agency Crisil said on Wednesday. The sector's credit outlook remains stable, supported by strong liquidity and healthy cash flows, it said. The volume growth will be led by light commercial vehicles (LCVs), which are expected to account for around 62 per cent of total volume on account of rising penetration of e-commerce and warehousing. A pickup in freight-intensive sectors such as cement and mining will boost the overall demand, it said. Crisil said its analysis is based on four key CV players, which account for around 70 per cent of the sector volume. The commercial vehicle (CV) sector comprises two segments-- LCVs and M&HCV ( medium and heavy commercial vehicles) -- with buses classified under both the segments. The M&HCV volume, ...

Securitisation volumes jump 24% to hit new record of ₹2.35 trn in FY25

Securitisation volumes in FY25 increased 24 per cent to hit the highest level of Rs 2.35 lakh crore, a report said on Monday. The volumes of securitisation, which involves passing on future receivables on a loan to address upfront liquidity needs, were lower in the fourth quarter at Rs 58,000 crore as against Rs 63,000 crore and Rs 70,000 crore recorded in the preceding two quarters, as per the report by rating agency Crisil. The jump in FY25 volumes was driven by large deals originated by private sector banks and also non-bank finance companies, it said. Largest private sector lender HDFC Bank has been very active on issuances in FY25 in order to improve its credit-deposit ratio after merging mortgage major parent HDFC into it. The Crisil report said number of issuers increased to 175 in FY25, from 165 entities in the year-ago period. The share of securitisation by banks increased sharply to 26 per cent in FY25 from 5 per cent in FY24 as a few banks used securitisation to manage
