Authum investment's credit rating upgraded to 'Crisil A/Stable'

CRISIL Ratings has upgraded Authum Investment & Infrastructure Limited's long-term bank loan facilities, totaling INR 1,000 crore, to 'Crisil A/Stable' from 'Crisil A-/Stable', effective October 24, 2025. This upgrade reflects the company's strengthened capital position, with net worth rising to INR 16,670 crore as of June 30, 2025, supported by healthy internal accruals and exceptional income from acquisitions. Gearing remained comfortable at 0.1 times on June 30, 2025.

The company reported a consolidated profit after tax (PAT) of INR 4,241 crore for fiscal 2025 and INR 943 crore for Q1 2026 (provisional). Investment income contributed significantly, accounting for 57% of total income in fiscal 2025. Total assets reached INR 19,296 crore in Q1 2026, with investments comprising INR 15,431 crore and a loan book of INR 1,856 crore.

Authum’s acquisition of India SME Asset Reconstruction Company Limited, where it now holds an 88% stake, further diversifies its business risk profile. The company's liquidity remains strong, with cash and bank balances of INR 604 crore as of August 31, 2025, against debt obligations of INR 220 crore over the next six months.
