Previous Delay and Market Conditions
Adani Green initially reached “final price guidance” on a 20-year note offering in October with a projected yield of 7%. However, due to market volatility and rising US rate yields, the deal was postponed. The yield on the company’s 2042 notes has since increased to 7.2%.
Joint Bookrunners
The bond offering involves multiple international banks, including DBS Bank, Emirates NBD Bank, First Abu Dhabi Bank, ING, Intesa Sanpaolo (London), Mizuho Securities (Singapore), MUFG, SMBC Nikko, and State Bank of India (London).
This bond deal highlights Adani’s strategic push to secure long-term funding for its renewable energy portfolio, reinforcing the company’s commitment to green energy expansion.
