Reliance Industries Plans ₹12,500 Crore Five-Year Rupee Bond Sale
Reliance Industries plans to raise 12,500 crore rupees (approximately $1.32 billion) through a five-year rupee bond sale, marking its first local debt offering since November 2023. The bonds are expected to carry an annual coupon rate of 7.47%, with investor bids invited by the week ending September 18. The move follows a decline in local bond yields, making rupee funding more cost-effective than dollar debt. This would be the largest single-tranche fundraising by a rated firm since late 2023.
