HDFC Credila Financial Services bondholders are concerned about potential write-downs after the company's ownership transfer from its AAA-rated parent company to a potentially lower-rated private equity firm, at least five institutional bondholders told Reuters. HDFC is selling 90% of the company to Baring EQT to comply with a regulatory directive, which has caused anxiety among its creditors and bondholders. The move follows a downward rating for HDFC's Affordable housing finance unit, Gruh Finance, after its 2019 takeover by lower-rated Bandhan Bank. Bondholders are reportedly looking to seek assurances from HDFC.
