Taking advantage of falling yields, the Power Finance Corporation (PFC) would look to raise ~4,000 crore through tax-free infrastructure bonds in the last week of December. The power sector lender is mulling the coupon it would be offered in a falling interest rate scenario.
"Bonds with tenure of 10 and 15 years would be issued to the investors," Satnam Singh, chairman and managing director.
The government-controlled non-banking financial company (NBFC) had earlier decided to issue the bonds in mid December. However, with the Reserve Bank of India hinting at reversal of the monetary policy stance, the easing of yields has made the company delay its plan by a couple of weeks.
"We have been zeroing in on the coupon we would offer. It should be 8.3-8.4 per cent. Now that government yields are falling, we are deciding on what to offer to our investors," he said. The yields on 10-year government bonds have fallen to 8.32 per cent to 8.5 per cent since December 14.
The interest will be offered on an annual basis. PFC had raised ~967 crore via tax-free infrastructure bonds in the first tranche. The company can raise a total of ~5,000 crore through the instrument.
