Driven by rising growth in requirement of priority sector qualifying assets, especially by the foreign banks, loan securitisation volumes rose 34 per cent to touch a peak of Rs 90,000 crore in FY17, the highest volume seen for a single year in India. According to the credit rating agency- ICRA, the securitisation posted a strong growth for the second consecutive year and the pace of growth may continue in FY18 too.
The report further said that securitisation of loan assets by issuing pass through certificates (PTCs) transactions rose 72 per cent to Rs. 43,000 crore in FY17. There was some increase in securitisation of non-priority sector assets too and Direct Assignment (DA) transactions grew by 12 per cent to Rs. 47,000 crore during the fiscal. ICRA also noted that transactions banked by trade receivables are also picking up, and were worth Rs 1200 crore in FY17.
The agency further noted that the PTC market has grown on the back of regulatory developments such as the revised priority sector lending (PSL) guidelines from the central bank, which decreed lenders to achieve various sub-targets within the overall PSL and also progressively increased the PSL target for foreign banks.
