The ₹2,500 crore NCD issuance marks the first tranche of fundraising under the board approval received in May 2026.
The company has also stated that the required Debenture Trust Deed will be executed within the timeline prescribed under applicable regulations.
The proposed NSE listing of the debentures is expected to provide greater transparency and liquidity for investors.
