After a gap of more than five years, CRISIL – India’s leading agency for microfinance ratings has released it’s updated list of the top microfinance companies in India titled “India’s 25 Leading MFI’s“ for the years 2014 – 2015.
The previous ranking of Microfinance Institutions was released in 2009 and was titled India’s Top 50 Microfinance Institutions.
CRISIL has been associated with the Indian Microfinance Sector for more than a decade and its ratings and reports about MFI’s and the sector are highly valued by microfinance practitioners, analysts, and the general public. As of June 2014, CRISIL has ratings or gradings outstanding on more than 60 Indian MFI’s which account for more than 70% of the loans outstanding in the Indian Microfinance Sector.
Since the last report was released, the microfinance sector in India has been turned upside down with many of the top MFI’s from the 2009 list missing from the 2014 list, these are mainly MFI’s based in the state of Andhra Pradesh who bore the brunt of the Indian Microfinance Crisis and no longer figure in the top 25.
The publication also carries an opinion piece by CRISIL on the near to medium-term outlook for the microfinance sector in India. The report also includes an overview of the top 25 companies in Indian MFI space along with CRISIL’s analysis of the key strengths and challenges faced by the different microfinance institutions in India.
The report ends with a list of top 25 emerging microfinance companies in India who still have a small asset base and portfolio compared to the top 25 but could scale up in the long run to join the league of big MFI’s.
