Crisil has completed its acquisition of a minority stake in Online PSB Loans Limited (OPL) by investing Rs 33.25 crore. The deal was first announced in December 2024, and its completion was disclosed to the exchange on June 4, 2025, with this press release providing further details. OPL is a digital credit infrastructure company that uses analytics and AI/ML-based solutions to facilitate lending to MSMEs and retail borrowers. Crisil stated the investment strengthens its positioning in the MSME lending ecosystem, which contributes nearly a third of India's GDP and is undergoing rapid digitalisation.
This is a strategic minority investment rather than a controlling acquisition, so the immediate financial impact on Crisil is limited to the Rs 33.25 crore outlay. However, it signals Crisil's intent to expand in India's digital MSME lending space, which could support long-term revenue diversification beyond its core ratings business.
