List of A- Rated Bonds

Bonds with an A- credit rating are moderate investment-grade bonds. They are moderately safe investments with a low risk of default as compared to BBB-rated bonds. Companies typically issue A-rated bonds with a decent financial history and a record of paying their debts. CRISIL, ICRA, CARE, and India Ratings are some Indian rating agencies that rate PSU and corporate bonds in India. These rating agencies use many factors to determine a company's bond rating, including financial metrics like interest coverage ratios, leverage ratios, etc., and qualitative factors like corporate governance,  industry trends and competitive position. Some of the most common issuers of A- rated are public-sector banks and large private-sector companies.

For example, a rating of CRISIL A+ would indicate a stronger standing than a CRISIL A. Similarly, a  CRISIL A bond will have a lower default risk than a CRISIL A- bond
