Sun Pharma Plans $1 Billion Local Debt Sale to Refinance Acquisition Loan
India's Sun Pharmaceutical Industries plans to raise approximately 100 billion rupees (about $1.04 billion) through rupee-denominated bonds to partly refinance a bridge loan used for its acquisition of US healthcare firm Organon Co. The company intends to issue bonds with maturities of two, three, and four years. This move reflects a broader trend of Indian firms favoring domestic debt amid rising US borrowing costs and expectations of a Reserve Bank of India rate hike.
