India Ratings upgrades Motilal Oswal Financial Services to ‘IND AA+/Stable’
Upgrade extends to Motilal Oswal Home Finance and Motilal Oswal Finvest; short-term ratings affirmed
at ‘IND A1+’ across the group
Mumbai, September 16, 2026: Motilal Oswal Financial Services Limited (MOFSL) announced that
India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra), a Fitch Group company, has upgraded the long-term credit rating of
the company and its key subsidiaries to ‘IND AA+’ with a Stable Outlook, from ‘IND AA’ with a Positive
Outlook. The upgrade applies to the non-convertible debentures (NCDs) and bank loan facilities of MOFSL
and Motilal Oswal Home Finance Limited (MOHFL), and to the NCDs of Motilal Oswal Finvest Limited
(MOFL). Ind-Ra has also affirmed the ‘IND A1+’ rating on the commercial paper programmes of MOFSL,
MOFL and Motilal Oswal Wealth Limited (MOWL).
According to Ind-Ra, the upgrade reflects a stronger business profile, driven by the continued scale-up of
its asset management and private wealth businesses, rising recurring fee-based revenue, and sustained
profitability growth visibility across key operating segments. The agency noted that improved earnings
diversification has reduced the group’s relative dependence on transaction-based income, while
comfortable capitalisation, adequate liquidity buffers and the fungibility of liquidity across group entities
provide additional financial flexibility.
“For close to four decades, we have built Motilal Oswal on one belief: that wealth is created by staying
with quality through cycles. We have applied that same discipline to our own business. What began as
an equity broking house is today an integrated wealth creation platform, where two-thirds of our
revenue is recurring and our asset and wealth management businesses lead our profits. This upgrade
is an independent recognition of that transformation. It belongs to the more than 15 million clients
who trust us, to our franchise partners and to our people, and it strengthens our resolve to build an
institution that compounds trust as patiently as it compounds wealth,” said Mr. Motilal Oswal,
Managing Director and CEO & co-founder, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Limited.
“This upgrade speaks to the quality of our earnings as much as its growth. Over the past few years, we
have deliberately shifted our revenue towards fee-based, annuity-like streams while keeping our
balance sheet conservative. Leverage remains comfortably below our internal threshold, net worth has
grown to over ₹14,400 crore, and liquidity is managed across the group with full fungibility. A stronger
rating widens our access to diversified funding and should support greater efficiency in our cost of
borrowing as we scale our lending, housing finance and wealth businesses with discipline. With this
rating upgrade, we are now rated AA+ from all the three leading rating agencies in India” said
Mr. Shalibhadra Shah, Group Chief Financial Officer, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Limited
