Adani Enterprises Announces ₹1,000 cr NCD Issue Offering up to 9.30% P.A.

Adani Enterprises Limited (“the Company” or “AEL”), the flagship company of the Adani Group and India’s largest listed business incubators in terms of market capitalization with a long track record of creating sustainable infrastructure businesses since 1993, has announced the launch of its second public issuance of secured, rated, listed redeemable, non-convertible debentures. AEL’s first NCD issuance of ₹800 crore, launched in September last year, was fully subscribed on the first day.

“The second public issuance of NCDs by AEL, further deepens our commitment to inclusive capital markets growth and retail participation in long-term infrastructure development. This new issuance follows the strong market response to AEL’s debut NCD offering, which witnessed capital appreciation for debt investors after a rating upgrade within six months, reflecting the Group’s consistent delivery and financial robustness,” said Jugeshinder ‘Robbie’ Singh, Group CFO, Adani Group. “As the incubator of India’s most critical energy and transport utility platforms including Adani Ports & SEZ, Adani Energy Solutions, Adani Power, and Adani Green Energy, AEL is now successfully scaling the next generation of infrastructure businesses across airports, roads, data centers, and the green hydrogen ecosystem. Each of these verticals is poised to play a transformative role in India’s journey toward a $5 trillion economy,” he added.

AEL is the only corporate (outside of NBFCs) offering a listed debt product for retail investors, thereby creating a rare opportunity for individual and non-institutional investors to participate in India’s infrastructure growth story. With the recent rate cuts and the beginning of a softer interest rate cycle, the AEL NCD issue comes at an opportune time for investors seeking stable, fixed-income avenues. Offering competitive yields compared to similarly rated NCDs and fixed deposits, this public issue presents a valuable proposition for the investors. 

The proposed NCDs have been rated “Care AA-; Stable” and “[ICRA]AA- (Stable)”. CARE Ratings first upgraded the credit rating of AEL on 19 February 2025 and reaffirmed the rating on 18 June 2025. ICRA assigned ‘“[ICRA]AA- (Stable)’ rating on 28 March 2025 and reaffirmed it on 17 June 2025. Securities with this rating are considered to have a high degree of safety regarding timely servicing of financial obligations. Such securities carry very low credit risk.

The base size issue is ₹500 crore, with an option to retain over-subscription up to an additional ₹500 crore (“Green Shoe Option”) aggregating up to ₹1,000 crore (“Issue” or “Issue Size”). The Issue will open on 9 July 2025, and close on 22 July 2025, with an option of early closure or extension.

The NCDs have a face value of ₹1000 each. Each application will be for a minimum of 10 NCDs and in multiples of 1 NCD thereafter. The minimum application size would be ₹10,000.

U GRO Capital redeems NCDs worth Rs.50 Cr To Pay Back Entire Debt to Sachin Bansal's Firm

U GRO Capital, a BSE listed, technology-enabled small business lending platform, announced that it has decided to redeem non-convertible debentures (NDC) worth Rs.50 crore with the face value of Rs. 10 lakh each before the maturity date. The early redemption of NCDs underlines U GRO Capital’s well-capitalised business model and inherent balance sheet strength at a time when most NBFCs are struggling with liquidity stress. 

The liquidity scenario has worsened in the NBFC sector, as despite offering moratorium to the borrowers in line with the RBI notification, NBFCs haven’t received similar reprieve from the banks. 

are going through liquidity crunch Although the NBFCs have offered moratorium to their borrowers in line with the RBI notification, they haven’t received similar reprieve from the banks to manage the liquidity crunch. However, despite offering moratorium options to its borrowers, U GRO Capital managed to redeem NCDs before the maturity date banking on its conservative asset liability mismatch and liquidity-related policies. 

“In a challenging market scenario, our ability to honour the liability underlines the strength of our business model in withstanding liquidity stress. We maintain the highest level of corporate governance which has led to an extremely conservative asset liability mismatch policy. We have created a granular and diversified liability line which includes multiple terms loans from PSU and private sector banks. We have also actively securitised portfolios. All these have enabled us in facilitating the early redemption of the NCDs in a pretty challenging economic environment,” said Shachindra Nath, Executive Chairman and Managing Director, U GRO Capital.  

A Sachin Bansal-owned entity bought NCDs worth Rs.50 crore on October 3, 2019.

U GRO capital is one of the few tech-based small business lending platforms that have received a long-term rating of 'A' with a stable outlook and a short-term rating of 'A1' by Acuité within six months of starting its commercial operations. The company broke even in the first year.
