Of the total, ₹300 crore was reserved for anchor investors. ICICI Prudential Asset Management Co, Ltd was the sole investor in the non-anchor portion of ₹700 crore, a senior merchant banker said.

The funds were raised through privately placed bonds maturing on 24 March 2028. The bonds carry a coupon rate of 8.70%, payable semiannually, with allotment to investors scheduled for Wednesday. The issue has been rated ‘AA+’ by Icra Ltd.

This latest fundraise follows Adani Enterprises’ ₹1,000-crore public bond issue in July, which offered two-, three-, and five-year maturities at coupon rates between 8.95% and 9.30%. It had raised ₹800 crore via a public issue last September.
