Indian NBFCs Plan $1.6 Billion Bond Sales Amid Yield Declines; Piramal Seeks $1 Billion Foreign Loans

Five AAA-rated non-bank finance companies, including Bajaj Finance and Tata Capital, plan to raise approximately ₹15,000 crore (around $1.6 billion) through bond sales maturing in two to five years, driven by declining corporate debt yields and geopolitical uncertainties. Bajaj Finance targets ₹9,000 crore, Tata Capital ₹1,770 crore, and others like Bajaj Housing Finance and M M Financial Services also participate. Separately, Piramal Finance aims to raise $1 billion via foreign currency loans, balancing costs amid rupee depreciation and global market volatility.
