16 Mar 2020 Evaluate

Amid worries that coronavirus spread deepens in India and across the globe, credit ratings agency Crisil has said that credit pressures have intensified on India Inc. it warned that airlines, hotels, malls, multiplexes and restaurants will be the worst hit businesses. Besides, two people have died and over 100 have tested positive for Covid-19 in India, with hundreds in quarantine across the country. In response, the government has suspended visas till April 15, barring a few cases, and state governments have adopted strategies like closing cinema halls.

As per the rating agency, clampdowns are increasing both within and outside India, which would curtail consumer mobility and lead to deferral of spending. Apart from the sectors bearing a direct impact, demand for eggs and poultry could also be impacted. It noted that the information technology sector can also be affected because of physical restrictions.

Crisil said lower business volumes and occupancies, and suboptimal efficiencies will impact the profitability of companies. While some affected companies may initiate cost-curtailment measures, these may not be enough given high fixed costs. It added that such impact can impair credit profiles of companies. It said near-term liquidity is critical for ensuring confidence in timely debt servicing as businesses adjust to the fast-changing operating environment. It highlighted that 875 companies it has ratings on can get impacted because of the coronavirus-related troubles.
