India Inc Credit Quality Strengthens in H1 FY27 Despite Global Challenges
India Inc's credit quality strengthened in the first half of fiscal year 2026-27 despite global challenges including geopolitical tensions, energy price volatility, and inflationary pressures. Rating agencies CareEdge, Ind-Ra, and Icra reported improved upgrade-to-downgrade ratios, with upgrades outnumbering downgrades significantly. Corporate balance sheets showed resilience with lower gearing and higher interest coverage. The West Asia conflict's impact was limited due to diversified crude sourcing and government measures, supporting sustained credit profiles across sectors like infrastructure, manufacturing, and services.
