Any current/future new fundraising through debt or equity?

GAIL is deliberating on fundraising options for two pipelines (DUPL and DPPL) through an InvIT proposal sent to the ministry. A transaction advisor has been appointed to identify the best financing mode. Being almost debt-free, GAIL can source debt at a favorable rate of around 5% to 5.5%, which is currently cheaper than other options. Another option under consideration is debt securitization, though it is slightly costlier than current borrowing rates. The company is still analyzing and discussing these options; no concrete decision on the mode of fundraising has been finalized yet.
