PSPCL Cancels Rs 10,000 Crore Loan Plan via Merchant Banker, Uses Bank Loan Instead
Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) has decided not to raise a Rs 10,000 crore loan through bonds and non-convertible debentures via a merchant banker. The board noted that a Rs 5,500 crore bank loan, obtained without arranger fees, suffices for current working capital needs. The earlier plan faced criticism over high arranger fees and lack of state government guarantee. The tender process had attracted bids from three SEBI-registered merchant bankers before being dropped.
