KPI Green Lists India’s First Externally Credit‑Enhanced Green Bond

The credit‑enhanced rupee deal sits alongside a planned Rs 3,200 crore, 20‑year SBI loan to accelerate capacity growth.

Overview

  • The Rs 670 crore, five‑year green bond carries an 8.50% coupon with quarterly amortisation and is listed on the NSE.
  • A 65% guarantee from GuarantCo, part of the PIDG, lifted the issue to AA+ (CE) from CRISIL and ICRA.
  • Proceeds will fund solar, wind and hybrid projects in Gujarat expected to serve about 210,000 people and avoid roughly 344,000 tCO2e annually.
  • Aseem Infrastructure Finance took the majority of the issue, with Jio Finance and SBI Capital Markets subscribing to the rest, and SBICAP acting as arranger.
  • Separately, KPI Green expects a Rs 3,200 crore State Bank of India loan at 8.45% over 20 years, with phased disbursement over roughly 18 months.
