Detailed Rationale

CRISIL has reaffirmed its ratings on the debt instruments and bank facilities of Power Finance Corporation Limited (PFC) at 'CRISIL AAA/Stable/CRISIL A1+'.
 
The ratings continue to reflect the company's strategic importance to the Government of India (GoI) given its key role in financing the Indian power sector, and its majority ownership by GoI. The ratings also factor in its strong market position and adequate capitalisation and resource profile. These strengths are partially offset by inherent vulnerability in PFC's asset quality, and significant sectoral and customer concentration.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Strengths
* Strategic importance to and majority ownership by GoI
The company's high strategic importance to GoI is reflected in the role it plays in implementing government policies, and its importance in financing India's power sector, particularly government sector power utilities (PSUs, includes state (65%), central (7%) and joint (9%) power undertakings). PFC is the nodal agency for the development of Ultra Mega Power Projects (UMPPs) and the Integrated Power Development Scheme (IPDS), and is also the bid process coordinator for the Independent Transmission Projects (ITP) scheme. The company plays a developmental role in channelling finance to meet the power sector's large funding requirement, particularly of PSUs, which constitute 82% of its portfolio. GoI remains the majority shareholder, with a stake of 65.9% as on March 31, 2018. The government supports the company financially and operationally in various ways, including conferring special status to raise capital gains tax exemption bonds. CRISIL believes that GoI has strong strategic reasons and a moral obligation to support PFC, both on an ongoing basis and in the event of distress, given the latter's role in implementing the government's power sector policies and GoI's majority ownership in the company.
 
* Dominant market position in the power financing segment
PFC plays an important role in the Indian power sector, not only by providing finance but also by implementing GoI's power sector policies. The company is the largest lender to the power sector with a share of over 20%, and plays a key role in channelling finance to PSUs. The share of PSUs in the loan book stood at 82% as on June 30, 2018 (83% as on June 30, 2017). Loans outstanding to PSUs stood at Rs 2.33 lakh crore as on June 30, 2018, as against Rs 2.08 lakh crore on June 30, 2017. Additionally, PFC is the nodal agency for UMPP and the IPDS.
 
* Adequate capitalisation
As on June 30, 2018, tier-I capital adequacy ratio (CAR) was 14.66%, overall CAR 17.71%, and networth (share capital and all reserves) Rs 37,571 crore, against 16.5%, 19.5% and Rs 36,440 crore, respectively as on June 30, 2017. Capitalisation is expected to remain adequate over the medium term, supported by a demonstrated ability to raise capital through public issues. The net worth to net NPA ratio was 2.9 times as on June 30, 2018 (8 times as on June 30, 2017). Accruals to networth is supported by ability to maintain good interest spreads and a low operating expense ratio. The return on assets ratio was 2.0% (annualised) in the first three months of fiscal 2019 (2.1% in fiscal 2018). However, profitability will remain susceptible to increase in credit costs because of weakening in asset quality in the private sector exposures.
 
* Adequate resource profile
Borrowing costs are competitive and the resource base, though wholesale, is diversified. The debt instruments have wide market acceptability and borrowing is typically at low spreads over government securities. The cost of borrowing is lower than that of peers, and was 7.8% for fiscal 2018 (8.1% for fiscal 2017). The resource profile mainly comprises of bonds (86%) and term loans (11%), while short-term loans form 3% of the total resource pool. The company also has access to foreign currency borrowing, which comprised 8% of the total resources as on March 31, 2018 (4% as on March 31, 2017). It hedges only a limited portion of its foreign currency borrowing based on its board-approved policy. The company has also received government approval to raise capital gain bonds under Section 54 EC; which should further support the resource profile.
 
In fiscal 2017, extra budgetary resources of Rs 5000 crore were raised on behalf of the Ministry of Power, GoI. These bonds will be used to augment infrastructure funding and will be fully serviced by the government through the general budget; hence, a separate government guarantee was not required for issue of these bonds. In its analytical treatment, CRISIL has assumed that PFC will ensure the bonds are serviced on time.
 
Weakness
* Inherent vulnerability in asset quality, and significant sectoral and customer concentration
PFC's asset quality remains inherently vulnerable to the weak credit risk profiles of borrowers. The company caters only to the power sector, with 82% of its advances to government sector power utilities (including generation, transmission, and discoms). PSUs, especially discoms, are an inherently weak asset class because of their poor financial risk profiles. Loans to discoms accounted for 20% of overall advances, including transition funding. Effective execution of various reform measures is extremely critical for PSUs to produce the desired positive impact, and broad-based political consensus is necessary to implement the much-needed tariff increases to ensure sustained improvement in the performance of PSUs.  NPAs and restructured assets from the PSU book rose sharply in fiscal 2017 owing to alignment with RBI restructuring norms. However, the downgraded accounts had been paying dues regularly, and a majority of them were upgraded in fiscal 2018. As on June 30, 2018, around 9% (Rs 20,900 crores) of PSU loans remain restructured while NPAs (stage III assets as per IND AS) are nil from this portfolio.
 
PFC also has 18% exposure to private sector power players, which have increasingly become more vulnerable to asset quality risks owing to issues such as lack of fuel availability, inability to pass on fuel price increases, and absence of long-term power purchase agreements for assured power offtake. PFC reported gross NPAs (stage III assets as per IND-AS) of 9.6% as on June 30, 2018 against 12.5% a year ago. While NPAs declined over previous year, the share of NPAs from private sector has increased considerably. As on June 30, 2018, ~53% of private sectors loans have been recognized as stage III assets while 6.6% as stage II assets. PFC has made provisions of 53% against the stage III assets.
Outlook: Stable

CRISIL believes GoI will retain its majority stake in PFC, which will continue to play a critical role in implementing government policies related to financing the Indian power sector, over the medium term. The company is also likely to retain its strong position in the infrastructure-financing segment, while maintaining healthy capitalisation. Any reduction in PFC's strategic importance to, and attendant support from, GoI, or significant deterioration in asset quality may result in an outlook revision to 'Negative'.

About the Company

PFC was established in 1986 by GoI as an institution dedicated to funding and developing the power sector in India. Until 1996, it lent exclusively to public sector entities. Since then, it has expanded its customer profile to include private sector power utilities and projects. PFC aims to promote balanced and integrated development of the power sector by providing finance to low-cost, efficient, and reliable projects.
 
PFC reported a PAT of Rs 1373 crore on a total income (net of interest expense) of Rs 7027 crore for the three months ended June 30, 2018 (Rs 1122 crore on a total income of Rs 6728 crore for the same period last year). The loan book portfolio stood at Rs 2.8 lakh crore as on June 30, 2018.
