NCD placement with global financial institution is strong endorsement of credit profile, says Dalvi
CreditAccess Grameen Limited (NSE: CREDITACC, BSE: 541770), India’s leading rural focused inclusive financing platform, has successfully raised Rs.300 crore in September 2026 through private placement of non-convertible debentures (NCDs) with a leading global financial institution, Barclays Bank.
Commenting on the transaction, Nilesh Dalvi, Chief Financial Officer, CreditAccess Grameen, said on 4 Sept, “The bilateral NCD placement with a leading global financial institution is a strong endorsement of our credit profile, asset quality and governance standards, while further deepening our access to the domestic institutional debt market.
“From an ALM perspective, the bullet structure is particularly advantageous, as the principal remains fully outstanding until maturity rather than amortising progressively, thereby providing a longer effective funding benefit and strengthening our ALM profile. As we move forward, we will remain focused on enhancing funding efficiency and building a robust funding architecture aligned with our growth ambitions through 2028.”
The issue launched was fully subscribed and bilaterally placed with Barclays Bank PLC, a qualified institutional buyer. The Company continues to tap the private placement NCD route to fund the growth of its lifecycle credit suite for low-middle income households across rural and semi-urban India. The NCDs are senior, secured, rated, listed, and redeemable in nature, he said in a statement.
The NCDs were issued in two tranches – i) Rs.100 crore with a tenure of 24 months carrying a fixed rate coupon of 9.15% per annum and ii) INR 200 crore with a tenure of 36 months carrying a fixed rate coupon of 9.25% per annum. The coupon on both tranches is payable annually, with the principal repayable as a bullet payment at the end of the respective tenures.
