Fundraise plans

Yes
  • IndoStar Capital Finance has filed a prospectus on July 29, 2024, for a public issue of Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) aiming to raise around INR 300 crores (INR 150 crores + INR 150 crores).
  • They have raised about INR 730 crores during the current quarter primarily from banks, including term loans from a public sector bank, private sector bank funds (WCDL), a large Private Term Credit (PTC), and some Commercial Papers (CPs).
  • There are several sanctions from banks in the pipeline expected to fructify in August and September 2024.
  • The company is confident that these combined sources will help secure funds at substantially lower rates, replacing existing high-cost NCD loans which will get repaid over the next 3-5 quarters.
  • Cost of funds is expected to reduce further as transition from NCDs to bank funds progresses over the coming quarters.
