RATING ACTION/OUTLOOK: ASSIGNMENT/REAFFIRMATION/ STABLE Brickwork Ratings assigns the long-term rating for Fixed Deposits amounting to Rs 300.00 crores and reaffirms the long-term rating for the fund-based Bank Loan facilities amounting to Rs. 3500.00 crores of Muthoot Capital Services Ltd., at BWR AA/Stable, as tabulated above. The rating assignment for the fixed deposits and the reaffirmation of rating for the bank loan facilities of Muthoot Capital Services Ltd. (MCSL or the Company) primarily factors in the implicit support of Muthoot Pappachan Group, the independent board of directors, the experienced management team of the Company, and the standalone performance of the Company. BWR, in its analysis for rating MCSL’s fixed deposit and bank loan facilities, has derived comfort from the extensive implicit support of the Muthoot Pappachan Group (MPG) and the standalone financials of MCSL. It has relied upon the audited financials of the company for the last three years and the estimates/projections for the ensuing two years, as well as information/ clarification provided by the company. Muthoot Capital Services Ltd, established in 1994, is registered with the Reserve Bank of India as a Deposit-taking Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC-D). Muthoot Capital Services Ltd is one of India’s leading vehicle finance companies. It is one of the key entities (flagship entity being Muthoot Fincorp Ltd., rated BWR AA+/Stable as of July 2026) of the renowned Muthoot Pappachan Group, falling under the family of Muthoot Blue. MCSL’s equity shares are publicly traded on the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange of India Driven by a mission to empower individuals and broaden their horizons, it offers customized financial solutions to retail, corporate, and institutional customers through an extensive network of branches and partners. It also offers a wide range of vehicle finance products, including but not limited to: Two-Wheeler Loans, Car Loans, Commercial Vehicle Financing, Loyalty Loans, and Fixed Deposits. The rating factors in that Muthoot Capital Services Ltd shall endeavour to remain committed to meeting regulatory compliance and statutory adherence across its deposit-taking operations. The company states that it maintains full compliance with the regulatory framework prescribed by the Reserve Bank of India, including requisite adherence to RBI-prescribed liquid asset maintenance requirements applicable to NBFC-Ds, deposit acceptance ceilings, and asset-liability management (ALM) guidelines. Furthermore, the company also states that its governance structure ensures strict compliance with Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Know Your Customer (KYC) norms, and prompt reporting of statutory information. BWR notes that non-compliance by the company in any of the aforesaid shall be a key rating monitorable. ABOUT THE GROUP: For over 138 years, Muthoot Pappachan Group—famously known as Muthoot Blue—has been a symbol of trust and financial empowerment. Rooted in the vision of Shri Pappachan Muthoot, it has dedicated itself to uplifting communities through accessible financial solutions. With a vast network of over 5600+ branches across 25 states & UTs in India, Muthoot Pappachan Group offers a wide range of services, including Gold loans, Two-wheeler loans, Small business loans, Home Loans, loans against property, and a host of other financial products. Its commitment remains strong to make financial inclusion a reality for millions, ensuring stability and growth for every individual it serves. Today, the group has transformed into a Financial Conglomerate in the Indian business scene. Rooted in the age-old philosophy that "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step," it has forayed into a myriad of sectors comprising Financial services, Healthcare, IT, automotive, Realty, and Precious metals. As of 31 March 2026, the Muthoot Pappachan Group’s total AUM stood at Rs. 76,886 Crores (FY25: 50,021 Crores), from its 5644 branches/offices spread across the country. It has an active customer base of 69.5 lakh and a supportive employee base of 47000+, as of March 31, 2026. During FY26, the total disbursements were Rs. 1,70,823 Crores (FY25: 78,775 Crores) and earned a profit after tax of Rs. 1858 Crores (FY25: Rs. 653 Crores). The rating of MSCL factors in the financial, operational, and managerial linkages/support from the MPG, whose flagship company is Muthoot Fincorp Ltd (MFL). The rating also factors in the company’s strong capital position and the experience of the management team in the vehicle finance business. These strengths are partially offset by modest, though improving, asset quality, moderation in earnings profile, and the company’s efforts to reduce its geographical concentration in the southern Indian states. The company’s overall assets under management (AUM) grew by 12.5% to Rs 3443.36 crore as on March 31, 2026 (from Rs 3060.43 crore as on March 31, 2025), as compared to 52% growth in 2025 over 2024. The AUM stood at Rs. 3379 crores as on June 30, 2026. The moderation in the pace of growth is on account of the company’s strategy to reduce the co-lending exposure, align with the regulatory norms, and increase the earnings on its own book. Further, the company’s plans to increase focus on other vehicle segments, the AUM composition also underwent revision with the proportion of two-wheelers at 86%, cars at 5%, and commercial vehicles at 7% as of March 31, 2026, as compared to two-wheelers contributing to 98.3% of the portfolio, as of fiscal 2024.
