Commenting on the performance, Ramnath Krishnan, MD & Group CEO, ICRA, said, “ICRA’s strong financial performance this quarter was driven by robust growth in our Ratings segment, reflecting the consistent quality and credibility of our ratings, along with solid momentum in our Research & Analytics business, supported by marquee client wins and an expanded product suite. The acquisition of Fintellix marks a pivotal step in our ambition to lead in risk analytics. By combining ICRA’s domain expertise with Fintellix’s innovative technology, we are better positioned to help clients anticipate and manage risks in an evolving regulatory environment.”

During Q2 FY2026, ICRA deepened its market engagement through several flagship initiatives, including two outreach events—one in Delhi focusing on the Renewable Energy and Infrastructure sectors, and another in Mumbai centered on the NBFC sector. The company also served as the Knowledge Partner for the Annual Infrastructure Conclave 2025 organized by NaBFID, where its report was unveiled by leading financial regulators. Over the quarter, ICRA conducted 16 market outreach programmes and six webinars addressing key sectoral developments.

The company further strengthened its research vertical by publishing 145 research reports across 60 sectors, encompassing thematic analyses and quarterly updates that reflect its comprehensive approach to market insights.

ICRA projects India’s GDP growth at 6.5 per cent in FY2026, supported by potential tailwinds from the anticipated India–US trade agreement and a stronger festive season performance driven by recent GST rate adjustments.
