Crisil Ratings assigns 'A1+' rating to commercial paper of Muthoot Microfin
Muthoot Microfin (MML) said that Crisil Ratings has assigned its 'Crisil A1+' rating to the commercial paper of the company.
The rating on the long-term bank loan facilities and non convertible debentures has been reaffirmed at 'Crisil A+/Stable'.
Crisil Ratings stated that the ratings continue to factor in expectation of continued support from the parent, Muthoot Fincorp (MFL). It also takes into consideration MMLs adequate capital position and its diversified resource profile.
These strengths are partially offset by geographical concentration in the loan portfolio, moderate asset quality and susceptibility of the microfinance sector to regulatory and legislative changes.
MMLs portfolio quality has been affected in line with several issues faced by the sector over the last 3-4 quarters. However, overall asset quality (in terms of collections) has started showing some stability, particularly during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. Crisil Ratings believes that despite some early signs of improvement in collections, the companys ability to show substantial improvement in portfolio quality will be closely monitored.
The company remained well-capitalised, as reflected by networth of Rs 2,632 crore and gearing of 3.0 times as on 31 March 2025 (Rs 2,804 crore and 3.0 times, respectively, as on 31 March 2024). Capital position of the company also benefits from its strong parentage, which enables it to raise funds in a timely manner.
Muthoot Microfin (MML), a part of Muthoot Pappachan Group (MPG), provides microfinance loans to women. MML had AUM of Rs 12,356 crore and networth of Rs 2,632 crore as on 31 March 2025. Operations of the microfinance division are spread across Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Odisha, West Bengal, Punjab, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Bihar, Himachal Pradesh and Telangana.
The scrip rose 0.83% to trade at Rs 127.4 on the BSE today.

UoM pensioners face delay in payments due to lack of funds
Mysuru: If the state govt doesn't release funds immediately, the University of Mysore (UoM) pensioners, numbering over 1,900, will not receive their pension on time. According to sources, the varsity is waiting for govt funds to pay the pension this month. Meanwhile, pensioners are demanding financial discipline in the UoM to save the institute from bankruptcy. Every month, the university requires Rs.8.5 crore to pay the pension for its retired staff. For the last few months, the UoM has been totally dependent on govt support to pay pensions. According to the pensioners, the pension amount was generally credited to their bank accounts on the last date of every month. "But in recent months, it was delayed to the second or third day of the next month. This month, it is expected to be delayed again as the govt is yet to release funds," explained a pensioner who wished to remain unnamed. "With no funds, the university is totally dependent on the govt for the money to release pensions. So, it is getting delayed," a pensioner explained. "With the trifurcation of the university, the university's revenue is declining. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The need of the hour is an action plan to support the university," he said. Lokanath NK, VC, UoM, informed that the university is waiting for govt funds to pay the pension. "The govt assured us of releasing money in this regard. Once we receive funds, pensions will be paid," he explained. Pensioners Association president K Mahadev stated that the situation is worrying. "The pension fund became empty due to the excess recruitment of temporary non-teaching staff," he alleged. "The university authorities recruited hundreds of excess non-teaching staff. Politicians, irrespective of party affiliation, secured jobs for their candidates in the university. There is no space for these staff to sit in the departments. These excess recruitments resulted in the financial crisis," he alleged.

In Kolhapur, INDIA bloc likely to face local body elections together says Cong MLC Satej Patil
Kolhapur: Congress MLC Satej Patil has confirmed that the INDIA bloc parties will contest the upcoming local body elections in Kolhapur as a unified force. The elections for local bodies in Kolhapur district are slated for Sept-Oct. The alliance partners — comprising Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT), NCP (SP) and left parties — have started their preparations at the booth level. Following a preliminary meeting with INDIA representatives in Kolhapur on Friday evening, Satej Patil indicated a 90-95% likelihood of contesting jointly. He noted that Congress state president Harshvardhan Sapkal recently consulted with NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar and Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray regarding Congress's stance in the forthcoming local body elections. He observed the state administration has lost its financial direction, and women previously addressed as "ladki" have seen reduced benefits. "The elections for Kolhapur and Ichalkaranji municipal corporations, ZP, and town councils will be held after the rains. This time, the picture will be different from the assembly elections. Ladki Bahin saved Mahayuti from defeat; however, for govt, the sisters are no longer considered 'ladki'. Funds need to be arranged to save the scheme by curtailing funds from other departments. State govt is planning to hand out loans to the Ladki Bahin beneficiaries so that govt can refrain from paying the monthly dole. Instead, the banks will receive the amount once a year," said Patil. The Congress MLC said state govt's total debt burden has reached Rs 9.5 lakh crore, approaching Rs 10 lakh crore. "The three parties in govt have failed to plan the finances of the state. The Mahayuti MLAs are still ignorant of the problems faced by the people. We raised our voice, and only after that did state govt start assessing the damages caused by the recent floods and heavy rain. With all these issues, we are going to face the elections, and we are hopeful of winning in all local bodies," added Patil.
