Shapoorji Pallonji Group, based in Mumbai, is on track to finalize a significant financing round of ₹25,400 crore (about $3.1 billion USD) by May 15. This three-year rupee debt will feature annual coupons of approximately 18.75% and will be raised through a combination of USD bonds and loans from various investors, including major firms like Blackrock and BFAM. The majority of the funds will refinance ₹16,500 crore of existing rupee bonds at Goswami Infratech, with an additional ₹4,000 crore allocated for repaying existing bondholders. The financing comes amid rising geopolitical tensions, prompting the group to seek approval for a temporary increase in the loan-to-value (LTV) covenant on its ₹28,600 crore bonds issued by Porteast Investment. Investors are closely watching developments regarding the monetization of the group's 18.38% stake in Tata Sons, particularly in light of recent support for a potential listing of Tata Sons.
