Sir,
Are you sure on debt equity ratio part? As in will this directly add to debt? BecaI had some high yielding bonds (13%+) which are maturing in this April. My feeling is Muthoot is simply replacing that debt with low yielding one. So Debt equity will remain more or less same. Its just a feeling, no inside info.
