CARE Ratings Upgrades Shriram Finance Debt Instruments to AAA
Shriram Finance on Monday said that domestic rating agency CARE Ratings has upgraded the ratings on its non‑convertible debentures (NCDs) and subordinated debt to AAA. At the same time, the agency reaffirmed the rating on the company’s commercial paper at CARE A1.
According to CARE Ratings, the upgrade reflects recent positive developments in Shriram Finance’s business and financial profile. The assessment is based on the company’s audited performance for FY25 and unaudited performance for the first half of FY26, along with the expected impact of these factors on its overall credit strength.
The rating agency cited Shriram Finance’s improved operational execution, stable financial performance, and strengthening credit metrics as key drivers behind the upgrade. The reaffirmation of the top short‑term rating further underscores the company’s ability to comfortably meet its near‑term funding obligations.
The AAA rating is expected to enhance Shriram Finance’s standing in the domestic debt market and could support access to funding at more competitive costs, reflecting higher confidence among lenders and investors.
