Strong FY25 performance supports standalone credit profiles of banks: Fitch
Fitch Ratings on Monday said Indian banks' strong financial performances in the financial year ended March 2025 support the standalone credit profiles of rated banks and position the sector for future growth. The sector reported improved asset quality, stronger capital buffers and stable profitability despite the slowest sector loan growth in four years. "We expect steady performance to continue, though sustaining sound core financial metrics that strengthen loss-absorption buffers and resilience to economic shocks relative to the previous cycle would support positive momentum for rated banks' standalone credit profiles," Fitch said. The rating agency believes banks can sustain steady performance across most credit metrics in FY26, except for earnings due to cyclical pressures on margins and credit costs. "Indian banks' strong financial performances in the financial year ended March 2025 (FY25) support the standalone credit profiles of rated banks and position the sector for future growth," Fitch Ratings said in a statement. As per the net profit reported by public sector banks for 2024-25 (FY25) fiscal, cumulative profit rose to a record level of Rs 1.78 lakh crore, 26 per cent growth over Rs 1.41 lakh crore in FY24. Market leader State Bank of India (SBI) alone contributed over 40 per cent of the total earnings, as per the published numbers on stock exchanges.

Limit on duration for state debt STRIPS may dent demand, say insurers
The Indian central bank's attempt to create a market for separate trading of principal and interest for state government debt may be dampened by rules on the duration of bonds eligible for such securities, top insurers said. Earlier this month, the Reserve Bank of India enabled Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities (STRIPS) for state debt but said these securities can only be issued for bonds with a residual maturity of up to 14 years. With about half of state debt supply in longer-duration papers, the regulation could curb demand, mainly from insurance companies which are the biggest investors in STRIPS. "As far as life insurance companies are concerned, the demand is more for above 20-year papers. I expect the RBI to eventually remove the duration cap in state debt STRIPS and allow STRIPS even for 30-year papers," said Rahul Bhuskute, CIO at Bharti AXA Life Insurance. STRIPS allow dealers to sell principal and interest payments independently, enhancing liquidity in the state government securities by enabling distinct trading of these components. Until now, STRIPS were allowed only for central government securities, with no limit on duration. "Insurance companies have liabilities up to 40-plus years and hence preference is always towards STRIPS with longer maturities," said Sachin Bajaj, executive vice president and chief investment officer at Axis Max Life Insurance. Bajaj added that insurance companies primarily fulfill their 10-15-year demand through corporate bonds. Indian states raised ₹1.74 trillion ($20.06 billion) through the sale of bonds in April-June, of which over 50 per cent was borrowed through bonds with more than 14 years duration. Traders estimate another ₹8 trillion of state bonds will be issued over the next three quarters with a similar maturity pattern. STRIPS help insurers increase the duration of their asset portfolio as well as improve cash flow matching against certain liabilities, said Ketan Parikh, head of fixed income at ICICI Prudential Life Insurance. "Typically, insurance companies have a larger appetite for STRIPS beyond 15 years, while pension funds are more active in the 8-15 year STRIP segment," Parikh added.
