Masala Bond News
The rupee-denominated bonds or masala bonds are instruments through which Indian entities can raise funds by accessing overseas capital markets, while the bond investors hold the currency risk.
HDFC, India's largest private sector mortgage lender, Monday raised Rs 30 billion by issuing the world's first ever "Masala" or rupee-denominated bond outside India in London Stock Exchange, a landmark event that will boost economic ties between India and the UK post Brexit.
In a first by any private sector Indian company, country's largest mortgage lender HDFC will issue USD 750 million rupee-denominated bonds, also known as 'Masala' bonds, to overseas investors to improve financing prospects for domestic infrastructure projects.
