The recent corporate results for about 3,000 listed entities suggest the increase in outstanding loan funds at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 8% or so during FY2017 over FY2015. However, there is a contraction in loan funds outstanding for top corporates in FY2017 compared with previous year, either through repayment, equity conversion or restructuring of debt, says a research report.

In the note, State Bank of India (SBI) says, "The outstanding loan funds as on FY2015 stood at Rs22.8 lakh crore increasing to Rs26.5 lakh crore in FY2017. The loan funds outstanding stood at Rs24.2 lakh crore in FY2016. However, we also observe that some top notch corporates reported contraction in loan funds outstanding in FY2017 over FY2016. About 1,000 entities in aggregate, excluding banks and finance companies, reported decline in loan funds to the extent of Rs1 lakh crore. The debt contraction could either be through repayment, equity conversion or restructuring of debt. The top ten entities, saw decline of about Rs33,000 crore."

Cumulatively, the amount is about Rs20,000 crore. It says, "This could either be perceived as lower debt utilisation levels or prepayment through internal accruals or through asset sale. The reasons could be many, including QIP or private equity participation." The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions

Talking about financial performance for FY16-17, SBI says, "We find EBIDTA (midline) exhibiting a double digit growth in most of the top 10 sectors, depicting all round growth in top-line, midline and bottom-line. A normal monsoon can see agrochemicals sector bloom. Capital Goods (Electrical Equipment) topped growth in EBIDTA and PAT margins. Agrochemicals and Capital Goods (Electrical Equipment) are the sectors one may monitor for growth in the coming days." The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
