Torrent Power Plans Largest Bond Issue to Fund Nabha Power Acquisition

Torrent Power plans its largest corporate bond issue, aiming to raise up to Rs 4,000 crore through longer-tenor bonds with staggered redemptions to finance its acquisition of Nabha Power. The deal, approved by India's competition regulator, involves purchasing the 1,400-megawatt coal-fired plant operator from Larsen & Toubro for about Rs 6,900 crore. The bonds, rated AA, may include shorter and longer tenors to attract mutual funds and reduce borrowing costs, reflecting a broader trend of companies diversifying funding sources.
