Tata Steel to hit overseas bond street today

April 23, 2013 08:54

Steel major Tata Steel is hitting the markets today for a possible Singapore dollar-denominated bond sale.

"A Singapore dollar denominated Reg S (senior unsecured bonds) transactions may be launched, subject to market conditions, following the investor roadshow," a merchant banking source said.

The source added that the roadshow would begin today in Singapore.

However, the size of the issue or the coupon range was not immediately known.

The merchant banker said the money will be raised by Tata Steel's wholly-owned subsidiary ABJA Investment Co.

Media reports recently stated the Tata Group company was mulling to raise $1 billion from overseas markets. Tata Steel was looking to deploy a part of the proceeds in its upcoming project in Odisha and may also pare some high-cost debt, the reports had said.

So far 11 Indian companies through 13 issuances have raised a whopping USD 7.5 billion from the overseas markets this year, as rupee funds remain too costly at around 12-14 per cent.
