Shriram Finance Cuts Loan Costs via Rating-Linked Rate Reset Clause
Shriram Finance, backed by Japan's Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, reduced borrowing costs by 60-80 basis points on a $1.3 billion syndicated loan due to a credit rating upgrade. The loan included a rate reset clause tied to rating changes, which allowed cost savings. CEO Parag Sharma anticipates such clauses will become more common in overseas fundraising, with plans to raise an additional $300-500 million in loans between January and March.
