Larsen & Toubro Finance is set to raise Rs 500 crore via 5 million secured, redeemable and non-convertible debentures (NCDs) with a face value of Rs 1000. The NCDs will be listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE).
Commenting on the development, YM Deosthalee, Wholetime Director and CFO, L&T, said that the NCDs would provide good returns over the long term. There was demand for high-yield instruments today, he added, adding that the NCD coupon rate would be higher than banks’ 7.5 – 8%.
Deosthalee said that there was no decision on Mahindra Satyam stake sale yet as it was less strategic now. The company would exit Mahindra Satyam at an opportune time and that it was now a portfolio investment, he said.
Deosthalee also said that there was some pick-up in order booking and that he expected a 25% increase in order flows.
