The reaffirmed IVR A–/Stable rating underscores Indel Money’s strong capitalisation, steady AUM growth, and experienced management.
Infomerics Ratings has reaffirmed its rating for the proposed Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) of Indel Money Limited (IML) at IVR A–/Stable (IVR Single A Minus with Stable Outlook).
The rating reflects Infomerics’ confidence in Indel Money’s experienced promoters and management team, its established network, improving financial profile, comfortable capitalisation, and diversified funding base.
The ‘Stable’ outlook indicates Infomerics’ expectation of sustained growth in Assets Under Management (AUM) and asset quality through FY26 and FY27, supported by promoter capital infusion and prudent risk management.
This rating review was based on the revised term sheet shared by the company and conducted at Indel Money’s request.
Key Rating Strengths
1. Comfortable Capitalisation
Indel Money continues to maintain strong capitalisation, with net worth at ₹364.74 crore as of June 30, 2025 (₹319.45 crore as of March 31, 2025), supported by continuous promoter infusions.
During FY25 (April 1, 2024 – March 31, 2025), promoters infused ₹100 crore, followed by ₹21.85 crore in Q1 FY26. The company plans to further infuse around ₹80 crore during FY26 to support growth.
The company’s gearing ratio stood at 4.64x at the end of Q1 FY26 (unaudited), compared with 4.44x in FY25, reflecting higher borrowings. Infomerics expects capitalisation to remain comfortable, supported by equity infusions and growing profitability. Gearing levels are projected to improve from FY26 onwards.
2. Improving Financial Profile
Indel Money’s AUM has grown at a CAGR of 52.2% over the past three years, reaching ₹2,334.44 crore in FY25, up from ₹1,533.83 crore in FY24 and ₹1,153.89 crore in FY23. Growth continued into Q1 FY26 (unaudited), with AUM rising to ₹2,544.07 crore.
The company’s portfolio remains predominantly gold loans (around 93%), with business/MSME loans and digital personal loans making up the remainder. Indel Money also holds an AD-II category license from the Reserve Bank of India, strengthening its financial services portfolio.
Driven by robust AUM growth, net interest income rose from ₹100.28 crore in FY23 to ₹174.40 crore in FY25, with ₹62.70 crore recorded as of June 30, 2025.
While Net Interest Margin (NIM) moderated to 9.02% in FY25 from 12.59% in FY24 due to higher borrowing costs and competitive gold loan pricing, it remained strong. As of Q1 FY26, NIM improved to 10.26%, reflecting healthy profitability.
