Business Recorder13 hours ago
MUMBAI: Indian billionaire Gautam Adani's flagship firm plans to raise up to 10 billion rupees ($116.77 million) through a retail bond issue opening for public subscription next week, two sources aware of the development told Reuters on Tuesday.
Adani Enterprises will sell two-year, three-year and five-year bonds through the issue, which will remain open for subscription from July 9 to July 22, the sources added.
The company will pay an annual coupon of 8.95% on its two-year bonds, 9.15% on three-year bonds and 9.30% on five-year bonds, and will also have an option to defer interest payment to maturity, the sources said.
For investors opting for quarterly payouts, the coupon will be 8.85% on three-year and 9.00% on five-year notes, they added.
Adani Enterprises did not reply to a Reuters request for comment.
This marks Adani Enterprises' second retail bond sale within a year. In September 2024, it raised 8 billion rupees via its debut public issue, offering two, three, and five-year bonds at coupons of 9.25%, 9.65%, and 9.90% respectively, indicating a 30–60 basis point drop in rates across tenors this time.
The proposed issue, rated AA- by Icra and Care Ratings, includes a greenshoe option of 5 billion rupees. Nuvama Wealth Management, Trust Investment Advisors and Tip Sons Consultancy Services will be the lead managers for the bond sale, the company said.

US private payrolls unexpectedly decrease in June; layoffs remain low

WASHINGTON: U.S. private payrolls unexpectedly fell in June and job gains in the prior month were smaller than initially thought, the ADP National Employment Report showed on Wednesday. Private payrolls dropped by 33,000 jobs last month after a downwardly revised 29,000 increase in May. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast private employment increasing 95,000 following a previously reported gain of 37,000 in May. The ADP report, jointly developed with the Stanford Digital Economy Lab, was published ahead of the more comprehensive employment report for June due to be released on Thursday by the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics. There is no correlation between the ADP and BLS employment reports. The BLS' employment report is being published a day early because of the Independence Day holiday on Friday. Job growth has ebbed as businesses grapple with trade policy uncertainty, but companies have not yet resorted to widespread layoffs, keeping the labor market anchored. US job openings unexpectedly rise in May, hiring falls A separate report from global outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas showed job cuts announced by U.S.-based employers dropped 49% to 47,999 in June. Planned layoffs totaled 247,256 in the second quarter, down 50% from the January-March quarter. Hiring plans, however, dropped to 3,191 last month from 9,683 in May. Sluggish hiring was also evident in the government's Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, or JOLTS report on Tuesday, which showed a 112,000 decline in hires to 5.503 million in May. The JOLTS report also showed there were 1.07 job openings for every unemployed person in May, up from 1.03 in April. 'Without a strong economic driver, hiring may remain measured through the rest of the year,' said Andrew Challenger, senior vice president at Challenger, Gray & Christmas. Economists polled by Reuters expect the government's employment report to show private payrolls increased by 105,000 in June after rising 140,000 in May. Overall nonfarm payrolls are estimated to have advanced by 110,000 jobs after gaining 139,000 in May. The unemployment rate is forecast climbing to 4.3% from 4.2% in May.

India bonds tick up as foreign flows, ample liquidity lift sentiment

MUMBAI: Indian government bonds rose slightly on Wednesday, buoyed by foreign inflows and a growing liquidity surplus in the banking system. The yield on the benchmark 10-year bond ended at 6.2892%, compared with its previous close of 6.2927%. The five-year 6.75% 2029 bond was at 5.9522% after ending at 5.9653% on Tuesday. Bond yields move inversely to prices. Traders lapped up debt through the day as the central bank refrained from announcing further liquidity withdrawal measures, easing earlier concerns. 'The Reserve Bank did not announce any fresh VRRR auctions, which was a relief for the market,' said Umesh Tulsyan, managing director at Sovereign Global Markets. 'Foreign investors have also been buying in the last three sessions, which is another positive.' These investors bought bonds worth 104 billion rupees ($1.21 billion) on a net basis over the last three sessions. India bond yields dip, tracking US Treasury peers, oil prices This helped push up the banking system liquidity surplus to 3.3 trillion rupees as on July 1. A seven-day VRRR is set to mature on Friday, after which traders will closely watch for rollovers as call money rates have once again dipped below the RBI's repo rate, they said. India's weighted average interbank call money rate fell to 5.28% and weighted average TREPS were at 5.14%, a day after touching the RBI's policy rate. Meanwhile, DBS Bank expects India's growth and inflation to undershoot the central bank's estimates for this financial year, pegging growth estimates at 6.3% and inflation at 3.5% compared to the RBI's projections of 6.5% and 3.7%. Rates India's overnight index swap rates barely changed during the day amid shallow trading volumes. Traders are eyeing a spread compression trading strategy between short and long-end overnight index swap rates. The one-year OIS rate was steady at 5.52%, while the two-year OIS rate was little changed at 5.48%. The liquid five-year dipped 1 basis point to 5.67%.

India plans new strategic oil reserve to enhance energy security

NEW DELHI: India is exploring building three new strategic oil reserves to boost its emergency stockpile and strengthen energy security, the head of the company in charge of strategic reserves said on Wednesday. India, the world's third-biggest oil importer and consumer, imports more than 80% of its oil needs and is constantly diversifying its crude sources to mitigate the impact of geopolitical crises on its oil procurement. State-run engineering consultancy Engineers India Ltd is doing feasibility studies to build the new reserves, Indian Strategic Petroleum Reserve Ltd's CEO L R Jain told Reuters. 'In case of exigencies, we will be better prepared,' he said. India currently has strategic petroleum reserves at three locations - Mangalore, Padur and Vizag - in southern India to store up to 5.33 million tons of crude that could be tapped in the case of supply disruptions. It plans to create a new 5.2 million-5.3 million ton reserve at salt caverns at Bikaner in the desert state of Rajasthan, and a 1.75-million ton facility at Mangalore in southern Karnataka state, he said. Bessent says US trade deal with India is very close It will also create a reserve in Bina, central Madhya Pradesh state, with capacity yet to be decided, he said. After feasibility studies, the projects will require approval from the federal cabinet. They will come in addition to a new 2.5 million-ton strategic petroleum reserve at Padur and a 4 million-ton facility at Chandikhol in eastern Odisha state that have already been approved. India has over the years overhauled its policy on strategic petroleum reserves to allow private participation and commercialisation, mirroring the model adopted by countries such as Japan and South Korea which allow private lessees, mostly oil majors, to trade the crude. 'We are looking for 90 days of reserves,' Jain said. 'And Indian fuel demand is also rising, so we need additional storage.' Expanding oil storage capacity would also help India join the International Energy Agency, which requires its members to hold a minimum of 90 days of oil consumption. India's storage capacity, including that held by companies and in transit, is currently sufficient to meet its fuel demand for 75 days.
