Fitch Ratings has affirmed State Bank of India's Long-Term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at 'BBB-' with a Stable outlook, while upgrading its Viability Rating (VR) from 'bb' to 'bb+'. The Government Support Rating was affirmed at 'bbb-' and the Short-Term IDR at F3. The VR upgrade reflects improvements in SBI's asset quality (impaired loan ratio at 1.6%), stronger capital buffers (CET1 ratio rose to 12.6% in 9MFY26 from 10.8% in FY25), and steady profitability. Fitch also upgraded the Long-term IDR excluding government support from BB(xgs) to BB+(xgs). The IDR continues to be linked to India's sovereign rating of BBB-/Stable, given the government's 55.5% ownership.
This is a positive signal for SBI shareholders, as the upgrade of the Viability Rating reflects Fitch's confidence in the bank's improving standalone financial strength. While the main IDR remains unchanged due to its link to India's sovereign rating, the better intrinsic credit profile could support lower borrowing costs and stronger investor sentiment over time.
