Kotak Reports Stable Corporate Credit Cycle Amid IBC Delays and Low Recoveries
Kotak Institutional Equities reports that India's corporate credit cycle is expected to remain stable, supported by strong balance sheets, moderate debt, and capital expenditure funded by companies' cash flows. The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) data shows stable fresh corporate stress, with 177 insolvency cases admitted in Q1 FY27. However, delays in resolution processes and low recovery rates persist, with average resolution times exceeding stipulated limits and creditors recovering about 31% of admitted claims, resulting in significant haircuts.
