Aditya Birla Group Seeks Rs 14,000 Crore Loan from Domestic Banks for Sprng Energy Acquisition
Aditya Birla Group is in advanced talks with domestic lenders to raise about Rs 14,000 crore through a long-term loan syndication to finance its acquisition of Shell's Indian renewable energy platform, Sprng Energy. Axis Bank has underwritten the entire amount and plans to retain around Rs 5,000 crore, while State Bank of India and HDFC Bank are considering commitments for the remainder. The financing, structured as a domestic club loan secured against Sprng Energy's assets, may have a tenor of up to 20 years with pricing near 7.7%. Some international lenders evaluated the deal but could not match domestic pricing.
