Fund Houses Recommendations 

BofA

Ratings upgrade by S&P provides a sentiment boost

Market impact of the move could be limited for now

See tariff related uncertainty on growth still dominating the near term outlook

Impact on capital flows and credit costs may take a while to filter through

Continue to see downside risks to GDP growth from the lingering tariff uncertainty

This may need more fiscal and monetary support if the impact of the uncertainty is protracted

Kotak Securities

Rating upgrade driven by government’s fiscal consolidation and sustained economic growth performance

Fiscal factors continued to be the weakest, and the upgrade was driven by a notch up on supplemental adjustments

Support from state finances along with continuance of the center’s push on fiscal prudence will be the key for the next rating upgrade, possibly closer to the end of the decade

UBS

This upgrade moves the country one step away from the lowest investment grade rating

Upgrade benefits state-owned enterprises (SOEs) as well

Most Indian banks are also likely to be upgraded

Upgrades for privately-owned companies will be more mixed and limited to those previously capped by the sovereign rating

This move should boost investor confidence in Indian credit in the medium term

Jefferies on GST

GST rate rationalization is expected Q4CY25

$20 bn savings on GST compensation provides the required fiscal space to rationalise the rate slabs

See a good chance that GST on Cement, 2-wheelers & Air Cons may go down to 18% (currently 28%)

Certain other potential reductions may include insurance, hybrid cars, processed foods, garments, footwear, etc

Possible reductions on passenger cars cannot be ruled out

Jefferies on BPCL
