Detailed Rationale

CRISIL has reaffirmed its ratings to Series A PTCs of 'CRISIL AAA (SO)' and upgraded the credit opinion on second loss facility to 'CRISIL A+ (SO) Equivalent' from previous 'CRISIL BBB+ (SO) Equivalent'. The transaction is backed by receivables from a pool of medium-heavy commercial vehicle (including tippers) and light commercial vehicle loans originated by Tata Motors Finance Limited (TMFL; rated 'CRISIL AA-/CRISIL A/Negative/CRISIL A1+'). The ratings are based on the credit support available to the PTCs, credit quality of underlying pool receivables, TMFL's origination and servicing capabilities, and soundness of the transaction's legal structure.
 
The pool has exhibited strong collection performance. The cumulative collection ratio for the pool is robust at 96.3%. This has led to minimal delinquencies in the pool as reflected in 0+ overdue of 1.7%. The healthy collection performance coupled with high amortisation of around 72.1% has led to an increase in the credit cover available to future PTC payouts from the credit collateral.

Key Rating Drivers & Detailed Description
Supporting Factors
  • High amortisation and credit support available in the structure
    • Credit collateral of Rs 67.57 crore (44.4% of the future principal after October 2019 payout) provides credit support to Series A PTCs. The securitised pool principal has amortised by 72.1% as of October 2019 payout.
  • Collection efficiency metrics
    • o   19 months post securitisation, cumulative collection efficiency was 96.3% leading to total overdues aggregating 1.7% of the initial pool principal. 90+ delinquency was 1.5% of initial pool principal after October 2019 payout.
Constraining Factors
  • 28.3% of future pool receivables are from contracts that are not current on repayment

Pool Performance Summary (as after October 2019 payout)
Parameters Values
Asset Class Medium and heavy commercial vehicles (MHCV) & Light commercial vehicles (LCV) loan receivables
Months Post Securitisation 19
Balance Tenure (Months) 32
Principal Amortisation 72.1%
Cumulative Collection Ratio (%) 96.3%
Average Monthly Collection Ratio over Past 3 Months 94.0%
Credit collateral (% of scheduled future payouts) 44.4%
90+ Delinquency 1.5%
180+ Delinquency 0.8%
Credit collateral utilisation 0.3%

Liquidity Strong
Liquidity is strong given that the credit enhancement available in the structure is sufficient to cover losses exceeding 1.5 times the currently estimated base shortfalls.
 
Rating Sensitivity Factors
Upward:

  • None, given that the credit ratings on Series A PTCs are currently at the highest level.
Downward:
  • Credit enhancement (both internal and external credit enhancement) falling below 2 times the estimated base case peak shortfalls over the residual tenure of the transaction
  • A sharp downgrade in the rating of the servicer/originator
  • Non-adherence to the key transaction terms envisaged at the time of the rating
  • Other factors including but not limited to disruptions in the servicer's functioning and legal risks pertaining to true sale and bankruptcy remoteness etc.
