Detailed Rationale
Crisil Ratings has upgraded its rating on non-convertible debentures (NCDs) of Motilal Oswal Financial Services
Limited (MOFSL; a part of the Motilal Oswal group) to ‘Crisil AA+/Stable’ from ‘Crisil AA/Positive’ and, has reaffirmed its
short-term rating on the company’s commercial paper programme at ‘Crisil A1+’. Crisil Ratings has also assigned ‘Crisil
AA+/Stable’ to Rs 2000 crore of NCDs.
Further,Crisil Ratings has withdrawn its rating on non-convertible debentures (NCDs) aggregating to Rs 73 crore in line with

The groups earnings trajectory has remained healthy, with operating profits[2] increasing to Rs 2,356 crore in fiscal 2026
from Rs 2,037 crore in fiscal 2025 and 1,546 crore in fiscal 2024. The overall revenue stream has continued to grow over the
last two years with steady diversification across non-broking businesses and this has helped manage overall operating
profitability even during challenging external events.
This strategic shift has unfolded in two distinct phases. First, the contribution of broking and allied services[3] in overall
