Fitch Ratings has affirmed Union Bank of India's Long-Term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at 'BBB-' with a Stable outlook and Short-Term IDR at 'F3'. The rating agency upgraded the bank's Viability Rating to 'bb' from 'bb-', reflecting improvements in asset quality, capitalisation, and profitability. The Government Support Rating was affirmed at 'bbb-'. Key improvements noted include a 50 basis point drop in impaired loan ratio to 3.1% in 9MFY26, CET1 ratio of 15.7%, and operating profit/risk-weighted asset ratio of 3.1%. Fitch also cited the improving Indian banking sector environment and the bank's status as India's fifth-largest state bank with pan-India presence.
The Viability Rating upgrade signals Fitch's confidence in the bank's improving standalone financial strength, which is positive for shareholders. The stable outlook on the Long-Term IDR, supported by the sovereign rating link and government ownership, suggests the bank's credit profile remains on a solid footing. This may help lower borrowing costs and improve investor sentiment.
