At a time when higher US interest rates have made it expensive for Indian firms to tap foreign bond markets, mining major Vedanta Limited is likely to have struck a direct transaction with Insurance Life Corporation of India (LIC) to raise ₹4,809 crore through 10-year bonds, multiple sources told Business Standard.
"It's a structured transaction with LIC which they (Vedanta) are doing. They (Vedanta) are AA-rated. It's a 10-year paper. It's a direct trade with non-coupon bidding; it is open bidding," said a senior treasury official. "The pricing is somewhere around the yield on 10-year G-sec plus 100 basis points - likely around 8.50 per cent," the source said. The 10-year benchmark government bond settled at 7.41 per cent on Monday.
Multiple sources noted that while details of such structured transactions are not made public, the size of the deal suggested the involvement of LIC.
