HDFC Bank has raised $300 million through its first ever sustainable finance bond issue. This is part of an overall raise of $750 million through Regulation S Bonds. While $300 million has been raised for a tenure of three years with a 95 basis points spread over US Treasury, another $450 million has been raised for a tenure of 5 years, with a spread of 108 basis points over US Treasury. These are the tightest credit spreads achieved by an Indian issuer for a three-year sustainable bond and five-year senior unsecured bond for a similar size of USD Reg S issuance.
The proceeds of the sustainable finance bond will be utilised for funding green and social loans in accordance with the sustainable finance while the rest of the proceeds will go towards financing general banking activities.
HDFC Bank is one of India’s premier banks providing a wide range of financial products and services using multiple distribution channels including a pan-India network of branches, ATMs, phone banking, net banking and mobile banking.
