thebalanced.newsBlackRock to Invest in Shapoorji Pallonji Unit's Dollar Bond Issue
BlackRock is reportedly planning to invest $100 million to $200 million in a dollar bond issued by Goswami Infratech, a unit of India's Shapoorji Pallonji Group, as part of a $3 billion fundraising effort. The bond issue, arranged by Deutsche Bank, includes $750 million to $950 million in dollar debt and the remainder in rupee-denominated debt. Goswami Infratech's fundraising has faced delays due to rising rupee hedging costs, prompting a repayment extension request. Other large funds have also shown interest in the bond issue, which aims to refinance existing debt.
