ICRA Ratings has reaffirmed the [ICRA]AAA (Stable) rating on Union Bank's existing Basel III Tier II bonds worth Rs. 5,200 crore and [ICRA]A1+ on certificates of deposit worth Rs. 35,000 crore. It has also assigned a fresh [ICRA]AAA (Stable) rating to Rs. 10,000 crore of infrastructure bonds that are yet to be placed, taking the total rated amount to Rs. 50,200 crore. The highest possible ratings reflect the bank's strong position as the 5th largest public sector bank with 5.0-5.1% market share in advances and deposits, 74.76% government ownership, healthy capital ratios (CET I at 13.94%), and improving asset quality (GNPA at 3.06%, NNPA at 0.51% as of Dec 2025). Net profit for 9M FY2026 stood at Rs. 13,381 crore with RoA of 1.20%. The Stable outlook indicates ICRA expects the bank to maintain steady credit profile, stable asset quality, and healthy profitability.
This is a positive but expected development for shareholders — Union Bank retains the highest credit ratings across all its debt instruments, reinforcing its strong creditworthiness and lowering borrowing costs. No negative triggers, and the new AAA rating on Rs. 10,000 crore infrastructure bonds signals upcoming fundraising capacity at favorable rates.
