In a move to strengthen its financial position and support ongoing clean energy projects, state-run hydropower major NHPC Limited has successfully raised ₹1,945 crore through a bond issuance, the company disclosed in a regulatory filing on Tuesday.
The funds were secured via Unsecured, Redeemable, Non-Convertible, Non-Cumulative, and Taxable 6.86% AF Series Bonds, maturing in 2040, issued on a private placement basis. The bond issue reflects investor confidence in NHPC’s long-term strategic plans and its stable public sector backing.
