Muthoot Capital Says Asset Quality Is Improving After Kerala Flood Setback

Muthoot Capital Services Ltd. is recovering from the setback of Kerala’s worst floods in nearly a century in August, according to its Chief Operating Officer Madhu Alexiouse. “We have a steady business model and our asset quality has been improving after Kerala floods,” Alexiouse said in an interaction with BloombergQuint.

The non-banking financial services company’s gross non-performing assets had risen to 5.6 percent in the quarter ended September from 5.3 percent in the previous three months.

Alexiouse also downplayed liquidity concerns for non-bank lenders. It’s not going to impact Muthoot Capital in the third quarter ending December, he said, adding that the fourth quarter will be more positive.
