Fundraise plans

Yes
  • IndiGrid raised INR1,500 crores through Institutional Placement in early January FY26, which was oversubscribed 2x, indicating strong investor interest.

  • Future fundraising will align with acquisition pipeline and prudent leverage management, with a focus on optimizing interest costs and elongating tenor profile.
