S&P has maintained India’s sovereign rating at BBB- but the outlook has been revised downward to ‘negative’. This action is based on factors that are already widely known. Importantly, at this stage it is just an outlook change and not a ratings downgrade. To that extent, it is more of a warning of increasing vulnerabilities of the country. Nonetheless, the action can impact INR in the near term, which is already under pressure and perhaps raise external borrowing costs for some of the corporate. However, the silver lining could be that this action could exert pressure on the government to act on fiscal front (possibly by raising the diesel prices etc) as well as on policy front.
