– Established businesses and cost-efficient operations reflect business strengths

Fairly large average revenue base of Rs.5 billion, growing at 24 per cent annually, indicates established market position

Relatively steady margins across business cycles indicate resilience in profitability

Despite these strengths, challenges of moderate bargaining power and relatively higher concentration risks exist

– Around one-third of the companies have high concentration risks, while the rest have moderate to low concentration risks.

The way forward

Page 19: Expanding India’s Corporate Bond Market ‘ CRISIL A’ Rated Companies – An Emerging Opportunity

Regulators can lead the way forward

Regulations need to permit investments in ‘A’ category instruments

– IRDA regulations currently permit insurance companies to take board approval to invest in ‘A+’ rated debt

– Stronger long-term performance should provide confidence to regulators to allow investors to expand their investment basket

Credit Default Swap (CDS) can catalyse investor interest in lower rated bonds

– Represents a tool to offset additional risks

– RBI has taken the first step by issuing regulations

– Other regulators need to follow suit to allow insurance companies, pension funds, provident funds and mutual funds to use CDS effectively

Investors need to show active interest in credits rated below ‘AA’
