AI summary

CESC Limited's Board Committee has approved the issue of 30,000 Redeemable, Senior, Secured, Unlisted, Rated Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) of face value Rs. 1 lakh each, aggregating Rs. 300 crore, on a private placement basis. The deemed date of allotment is September 26, 2025, with final redemption on September 26, 2028 (3-year tenure). The NCDs carry a floating coupon of 3-Month T-Bill Rate + 2.30% per annum, payable quarterly, with a call/put option at par at the end of 12 months. The instrument is secured by a first-ranking pari passu charge on the company's immovable and movable fixed assets, and current assets until the mortgage is executed. The issue is being done on a private placement basis and the NCDs will not be listed on any stock exchange.

Likely market impact

CESC is raising Rs. 300 crore of fresh debt through privately placed, secured NCDs at a floating rate linked to the T-Bill rate. This is a modest raise for the company and adds to its overall debt stack, but the secured nature, 3-year tenure, and call/put option at 12 months provide some flexibility. For shareholders, the floating-rate structure means interest costs will move with short-term rates, and the secured status means existing lenders/shareholders have a new pari passu claim on company assets.
