Avenue Supermarts Plans Up to ₹10 Billion Bond Issue After Seven Years
Avenue Supermarts, owner of the DMart retail chain, plans to raise around 10 billion rupees through a domestic bond issuance, marking its first corporate debt sale since 2019. The bonds will have a maximum maturity of three years and carry a AAA rating from ICRA, reflecting the company's strong market position. Proceeds are expected to support capital expenditure, including new store openings. The issuance is anticipated in the first half of September amid strong mutual fund interest in such securities.
