Sun Pharma Plans $1 Billion Domestic Bond Sale to Refinance Organon Acquisition Loan
India's Sun Pharmaceutical Industries plans to raise about 100 billion rupees (approximately $1.04 billion) through rupee-denominated bonds to partly refinance a bridge loan used for its $11.75 billion acquisition of US healthcare firm Organon Co. The bond sale will include maturities of two, three, and four years. This move reflects a broader trend of Indian companies favoring domestic debt amid rising US Treasury yields and expectations of an interest rate hike by the Reserve Bank of India.
