Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone, the largest port operator in the country, is in the international debt market with a benchmark issue to raise at least USD 500 million.
This is the third large bond sale by domestic issuers after Exim Bank's USD 1 billion issue at record low prices in the first week of the moth followed by SBI in the second week with a USD 6 billion sale.
Adani Ports is the largest port developer and operator in the country in terms of volume, with coal and other dry bulk terminals showing an annual capacity of 478.6 million tonnes.
"We are in the dollar debt market and are planning to raise USD 500 million through a Reg S issue," a merchant banking source told PTI on Wednesday without sharing other details like pricing and tenor saying the issue is the market.
