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

Securitisation of loans by SFBs to cross Rs 10,000 cr in FY2024: ICRA

Fundraising by small finance banks (SFBs) through securitisation is expected to exceed Rs 10,000 crore in FY2024 against Rs 6,400 crore in the previous year, rating agency ICRA said on Tuesday. The third quarter of FY2024 alone witnessed the quarterly record high securitisation volumes of about Rs 4,200 crore, ICRA said in a release. "The market share of SFBs in the securitisation market would accordingly touch a peak of 6 per cent in FY2024 from levels of sub-2 per cent prior to FY2022," it said. In FY2024, ICRA said six SFBs raised funds through this route against four in FY2023 and only two in FY2022. "The increase in the number of SFBs securitising their assets signals a deepening of the domestic securitisation market, as it provides them an alternative route to raise funds to sustain their growth momentum," it said. Abhishek Dafria, Senior Vice President and Group Head - Structured Finance Ratings at ICRA said the securitisation market has traditionally been dominated by ...

Securitisation in personal loan segment may see temporary pause: ICRA

The sale of personal loan retail pools may see a temporary pause after the RBI's decision to increase the risk weights on unsecured asset classes of banks and non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) by 25 per cent, a report said. The sale of personal loan pools by NBFCs amounted to about Rs 1,150 crore in FY 2023 and had already crossed Rs 800 crore in H1 FY2024 (i.e. 4x of the volumes done in H1 FY2023), Icra said in a statement. Such transactions had picked up momentum, given the growing financing requirements for the NBFCs to meet the strong credit demand for consumer and personal loans in the country, coupled with the growing appetite for personal loan asset class by the banks that were purchasing these loan pools, it said. The rating agency expects the pace of personal loan sell-downs to taper at least in the near term, following the increase in capital requirements on such loans for the purchasing banks, which would, thereby, augment the costs for all parties. While ...

'Securitisation of Samruddhi Expressway's rights will fetch Maha Rs 50k cr'

Maharashtra will earn Rs 50,000 crore from the securitisation of rights of the Mumbai-Nagpur Samruddhi Expressway, which can be loosely termed as a sale, and it will ease the financial burden on the state over its construction, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said on Thursday.

Speaking at an event organised by Marathi news channel Mumbai Tak, Fadnavis said, "By securitising the rights, which loosely can be described as sale, Maharashtra government will earn Rs 50,000 crore. With this, the state will be free in the next two years from the debt of constructing the Samruddhi Expressway."
