Rating Rationale
September 15, 2026
‘CareEdge B/Stable’ rating assigned to dollar
bonds of Mufin Green Finance Limited
USD 10 million Foreign Currency Bonds CareEdge B/Stable
CareEdge Global Ratings has assigned a long-term foreign currency rating of ‘CareEdge
B/Stable’ to Mufin Green Finance Limited’s (MGFL) USD 10 million foreign currency bonds.
Rationale
The rating derives strength from MGFL’s comfortable capitalisation, with a capital adequacy
ratio (CAR) of 32.1% as of March 31, 2026, which is well above the regulatory minimum of
15%. The company has consistently maintained a CAR above 30% and has demonstrated its
ability to raise equity capital, mobilising over Rs 4 billion over the past four years. Managed
gearing remained moderate at 2.4x as of March 31, 2026, providing adequate headroom to
support near-term growth. The rating also factors in the improvement in MGFL’s funding
profile, supported by a diversified borrowing base comprising over 40 lenders across various
funding instruments. Additionally, the company’s technology-driven, branchless operating
model supports efficient loan origination and is expected to improve operating leverage as the
loan portfolio continues to scale.
However, these strengths are partly offset by MGFL’s modest scale, limited portfolio vintage,
evolving product mix, and moderate profitability. The company has transitioned from being
primarily an electric vehicle (EV) financing player to a more diversified lender, with key focus
segments including mediclaim (health insurance premium) financing, business loans, and
loans to government employees. A significant portion of the current portfolio was originated
over the past two years, resulting in limited seasoning of the loan book. Consequently, the
asset quality performance of the newer product segments is yet to be tested. Profitability also
remains moderate, although the company’s technology-led model and increasing scale are
expected to support improvement in operating leverage. However, sustained improvement in
profitability is yet to be demonstrated.
Outlook
The stable outlook factors in CareEdge Global’s expectation of continued scale-up in
operations, alongside sustenance of the asset quality and earnings metrics in the newer
product categories over the medium term, while maintaining adequate capital buffers to
support growth.
Rating sensitivities
Upward factors
• Significant increase in AUM while maintaining asset quality
• Sustained improvement in profitability
Rating Rationale
September 15, 2026
Downward factors
• Increase in managed gearing level above 4x on a sustained basis
• Deterioration in asset quality in the mediclaim financing portfolio, with net non-
performing assets (NNPA) exceeding 0.5% on a sustained basis
• Deterioration in the resource raising ability, impacting the overall capital structure
Analytical approach
CareEdge Global has assessed MGFL’s business and financial profiles on a standalone basis in
line with its Financial Institutions Methodology.
Key rating drivers
Strengths
Comfortable capitalisation profile and leverage
MGFL has maintained a comfortable capitalisation profile, supported by periodic equity
infusions and internal accruals. The company's CAR was 32.1% as of March 31, 2026, well
above the regulatory requirement of 15%, providing sufficient capital headroom to support
business expansion. Although the CAR moderated from 54.0% as of March 31, 2023, to 32.1%
as of March 31, 2026, due to rapid growth in the loan portfolio, it has consistently remained
significantly above the minimum regulatory requirement.
The capital base has strengthened materially over the past four years through sustained equity
infusions resulting in adjusted tangible net worth increasing from Rs 1.5 billion as of March
31, 2023, to Rs 5.7 billion as of March 31, 2026. Additionally, retained earnings have
contributed to growth in the company's net worth.
Managed gearing was 2.4x as of March 31, 2026, compared with 2.6x as of March 31, 2025.
The current capital structure provides adequate capacity to support the company's near-term
growth plans. However, with the company targeting continued rapid portfolio growth, timely
capital infusions are key to preserving comfortable capitalisation and keeping leverage within
the targeted range. Management aims to keep the gearing below 4x on a steady state basis.
Improving funding profile
MGFL’s funding profile has strengthened over the past few years, supported by diversification
across both borrowing instruments and lender categories. As of March 31, 2026, the borrowing
mix comprised term loans at around 35%, non-convertible debentures at around 39%,
external commercial borrowings at around 18%, and other instruments at around 8%. The
lender base has also become more diversified, with funding sourced from banks, non-banking
financial institutions (NBFCs), development financial institutions (DFIs), and retail/high-net-
worth individual (HNI) investors. The company has established relationships with more than
40 lenders and initiated securitisation through PTC transactions, which is expected to enhance
funding flexibility as the loan book scales.
Average borrowing costs improved in FY26, with the quarterly cost of borrowings reducing to
12.2% in Q4FY26 from 13.8% in Q1FY26, aided by benchmark-rate movement, increasing
bank participation and improved lender comfort. MGFL’s ability to further increase lower-cost
bank borrowings, complete larger securitisation transactions, and maintain competitive
incremental funding costs will remain monitorables.
Rating Rationale
September 15, 2026
Technology-led, branch-less operating model supports scalability
MGFL operates through a technology-driven, branch-less operating model, with digital
processes covering customer onboarding, underwriting, documentation, disbursement, and
collections. This supports faster turnaround time, lower operating costs, and supports
scalability without significant investments in physical infrastructure. As a result, the company
is expected to benefit from improving operating leverage as the loan book scales.
The company’s key growth products are also embedded within digital ecosystems. Its
mediclaim financing product is integrated with insurers through digital platforms, enabling
instant policy-linked loan processing, direct disbursement to insurers, and automated
repayment setup. Similarly, loans to government employees are routed through the respective
government HRMS platforms, with repayments linked to payroll or salary deduction
mechanisms, thereby improving visibility over cash flows and reducing collection risk.
Weaknesses
Modest scale of operations and limited vintage of newer portfolio
MGFL has scaled rapidly, with AUM increasing to Rs 15.4 billion as of end-March 2026, from
Rs 8.4 billion as of end-March 2025. However, the overall scale remains modest. The product
mix has also changed substantially over a
