What happened

- ICRA assigned a long-term rating of A+ with a stable outlook and reaffirmed the A1+ commercial paper rating.
- ICRA noted healthy profitability despite SEBI curbs on hyperactive index derivatives trading and softer market conditions.
- Net operating income grew despite the loss of exchange-linked volume incentives after the true-to-label regime implementation.
- Profitability moderated due to higher operating expenses, including increased marketing, team expansion, and one-off non-recurring costs.
