Recent developments include rating affirmations from Crisil Ratings, which reaffirmed its 'CRISIL AAA/Stable' rating on fixed deposits amounting to ₹1,60,000 crore, 'CRISIL AA+/Stable' on Tier II bonds aggregating to ₹8,000 crore, and 'CRISIL A1+' on certificate of deposits of ₹45,000 crore as of October 16, 2026.
