Adani Enterprises to sell 2-5 year debt at public bond sale next week: Report
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.
Last month, the company raised $750 million from a group of international banks. In November, U.S. authorities indicted Gautam Adani and his nephew, Sagar Adani, over alleged bribery and misleading of investors in connection with U.S. fundraising.
Gautam Adani denied any wrongdoing last week, telling shareholders that no individual from the group had been charged under the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
Adani Group and its 13 offshore investors have also been facing an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) since Hindenburg Research in 2023 alleged the group's improper use of tax havens. The group has consistently denied any wrongdoing.

'Modi will meekly bow to Trump': Rahul Gandhi slams PM over tariff deadline
Rahul Gandhi targets PM Narendra Modi over looming US tariff deadline as India continues trade talks; failure to finalise a deal by July 9 could trigger 26 per cent duty on key Indian exports to US Rimjhim Singh New Delhi Congress MP and Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi on Saturday launched a sharp attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying that the latter would "meekly bow" to a trade tariff deadline set by US President Donald Trump. In a post on X, Gandhi said, 'Piyush Goyal can beat his chest all he wants, mark my words, Modi will meekly bow to the Trump tariff deadline." Piyush Goyal can beat his chest all he wants, mark my words, Modi will meekly bow to the Trump tariff deadline. — Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) July 5, 2025 His remarks come just days ahead of the July 9 deadline for countries, including India, to finalise trade deals with the US and avoid steep reciprocal tariffs. India committed to fair, balanced trade agreements: Piyush Goyal Responding to speculation around the impending deadline, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal reaffirmed that India is committed to finalising trade deals only when they serve the nation's interests. 'India never does a trade deal based on a deadline. Only when a deal is baked and in national interest, only then we accept it,' Goyal said on Friday at the Toy Biz International B2B Expo. He emphasised that India is in active negotiations with multiple countries — including the US, EU, New Zealand, Oman, Chile, and Peru — and that any free trade agreement must be a win-win for both sides. 'An FTA is possible only when both countries benefit... national interest will always be supreme,' he added. Trump tariffs: Talks with US ongoing, deadline nears An Indian delegation, led by Department of Commerce Special Secretary Rajesh Agrawal, was in Washington from June 27 and extended its visit to iron out key differences with US trade officials. However, an interim bilateral trade agreement has not yet been finalised. The deadline is critical. On April 2, President Trump had announced a 26 per cent duty on Indian exports under his "Liberation Day" reciprocal tariff plan. Though this was suspended for 90 days, the pause ends on July 9. Without a deal, Indian exporters — especially in sectors like textiles, leather, and auto components — may face the steep duty on shipments to the US. US sees India as a key Indo-Pacific partner Amid the trade discussions, the US State Department reaffirmed India's strategic importance in the Indo-Pacific. Deputy Spokesperson Mignon Houston told news agency ANI that India remains an 'essential partner' and that the US seeks 'fair and reciprocal' trade relationships. 'We want trade that is fair and reciprocal. Working closely, India is an essential partner in the Indo-Pacific and the Quad,' she said, reiterating the Trump administration's 'America First' focus. She defended the tariff move, saying it aimed to counter unfair practices that had harmed US farmers and industries.

Want a Canadian degree? Prove you can afford ₹14 lakh, or no entry from September
Indian students must show Rs. 14 lakh in their accounts for living expenses in Canada. Planning to head to Canada for higher studies? You'll need more than just good grades and a college offer. Starting September 1, 2025, international students—including thousands from India—must show they have at least CAN $22,895 (roughly ₹14 lakh) in their bank account just to qualify for a study permit. That's a CAN $2,000 hike from the current requirement. The announcement, made by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), means that dreaming of a degree in Canada now comes with a serious financial checkpoint. Bigger wallet, stricter rules This change applies to all international students applying to schools outside Quebec. The government says it's simply aligning visa requirements with the actual cost of living in Canada—which, let's face it, hasn't exactly been getting cheaper. So, if you're applying for a study permit on or after September 1, make sure you've got the revised amount in hand. Submitting your application before that? You're still covered under the old rule of CAN $20,635. Bringing family? Bring more money Moving with family? Your proof of funds just got even more expensive. Here's the updated breakdown: 2 people: CAN $28,502 3 people: CAN $35,040 4 people: CAN $42,543 Each additional family member adds another CAN $6,170 to the total. Translation: Canada wants to make sure your entire household can survive the snow and the rent. No vague promises: Canada wants hard proof You can't just say you'll 'figure it out' once you land. IRCC has made it clear: no funds, no visa. Here's what they'll actually accept as proof: A Canadian bank account in your name A Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) An education loan letter from a bank Recent bank statements (last 4 months) A bank draft convertible to Canadian dollars A formal letter from whoever's sponsoring you Proof of scholarship or Canadian government funding In short, your financial paperwork needs to be airtight. Show the money before you show up If you're serious about Canada, get your financial documents ready—especially if you're applying after September 1. The updated rules are non-negotiable. One missing document or shortfall in funds could mean no study permit. This isn't a deterrent, says IRCC. It's a reality check. Canada still wants bright, driven international students—it just wants to make sure they can actually afford to live there once they arrive. So before you book your ticket or dream of sipping Tim Hortons on a snowy campus, ask yourself: Got ₹14 lakh ready to go? Ready to navigate global policies? Secure your overseas future.

Trump Signs ‘Big, Beautiful Bill' Into Law: What Is It, What It Changes And Why It's Controversial
Last Updated: The 'One Big, Beautiful Bill' was signed into law by US President Donald Trump at a ceremony held on July 4, during Independence Day celebrations at the White House A massive and controversial piece of legislation backed by US President Donald Trump has now been signed into law, capping a dramatic legislative battle that spanned weeks. Officially called the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act, this nearly 1,000-page law brings together major tax changes, welfare cuts, defence spending hikes, and cultural policy shifts rolled into a single package. The bill first cleared the US Senate in a 50–50 tie, with Vice President JD Vance casting the tie-breaking vote, and was later passed by the House of Representatives with a narrow 218–214 margin. It was signed into law by President Trump at a ceremony held on July 4, during Independence Day celebrations at the White House. As Trump signed the Act, he called it the 'biggest bill of its type in history". Addressing the gathering from the balcony of the South Lawn alongside First Lady Melania Trump, the President said, 'We made promises, and it's really promises made, promises kept, and we've kept them. There's a triumph of democracy on the birthday of democracy, and I have to say that the people are happy." But what is actually inside this so-called 'Big, Beautiful Bill"? Why is it controversial? And should India be paying attention? What Is This Bill Trying To Do? In simple terms, the law is a one-stop legislative overhaul that aims to permanently extend Trump's 2017 tax cuts, reduce spending on federal welfare programmes like healthcare and food assistance, increase defence and border security budgets, and push through several conservative social policy changes. This is not a routine budget law, it's a broad ideological statement. Trump has long wanted to hardwire certain policies into US law, and this Act is designed to do just that. The core idea is to reduce the size of government in areas like welfare and climate programmes, while boosting its role in areas like national security and immigration control. What Changes For Americans? The One Big, Beautiful Bill locks in Trump's 2017 tax cuts, which were initially set to expire in 2025. These cuts lowered income tax rates for individuals and businesses. By making them permanent, the law ensures that wealthier Americans and large corporations continue to benefit from lower tax rates. According to analysts quoted by Reuters, lower-income households could see an effective decline in income as cuts to safety net programs outweigh modest tax relief. It also introduces new tax deductions—for example, on tips earned by service workers, overtime wages, interest on car loans (provided the vehicle was assembled in the US), and some expenses related to elder care. A new savings tool called the 'Trump Account" has been introduced as well. These accounts are designed to allow parents to invest in their children's future, with gains exempt from federal taxes—similar in concept to tax-saving mutual funds or education-linked deposits in India. To compensate for the loss in tax revenue, the law slashes spending on key welfare programmes. Medicaid, a public health insurance programme for low-income Americans, will now have stricter eligibility requirements. The federal food stamp scheme—officially known as SNAP—will also be trimmed. Subsidies for solar energy, electric vehicles and other clean technologies are being rolled back. The law also reduces funding under Obamacare (the Affordable Care Act), especially for reproductive healthcare services. On the cultural side, the bill limits funding for diversity and inclusion programmes in schools and universities. The legislation includes a $300 billion defence and homeland security boost, equally divided between the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security, for modernisation of weapons systems, cybersecurity, and border control technologies. According to estimates by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) —an independent US agency that provides non-partisan analysis to lawmakers— the law is expected to add $3.4 trillion to the nation's $36.2 trillion debt. The same report estimates up to 10.9 million people could lose health insurance due to Medicaid changes and reduced ACA support. Why Is It Being Called 'Big' And 'Beautiful'? The name comes from Donald Trump himself, who described it as 'one big, beautiful bill that will fix everything" during a rally earlier this year. It's not an official legislative name, but the label stuck, partly because of its dramatic scope, and partly because Trump turned it into a campaign slogan. What Are The Political Stakes? The signing of the Act marks one of the biggest legislative victories of Trump's second term so far. It consolidates the GOP's core priorities—tax cuts, reduced welfare spending, increased defence funding, and stricter immigration control—into one omnibus package. Democrats attempted to delay the vote, with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries delivering an eight-hour speech in protest. 'The focus of this bill, the justification for all of the cuts that will hurt everyday Americans, is to provide massive tax breaks for billionaires," he said. A small number of Republican lawmakers also raised objections, mainly over the projected increase in the fiscal deficit. However, the bill ultimately passed along party lines in both chambers. At the signing ceremony, President Trump declared: 'It's the most popular bill signed in the history of our country, and it includes the largest tax cut and the largest spending cut in American history." Does The Bill Affect India? While the law is entirely domestic in scope, its ripple effects may touch India in a few key sectors. For one, Indian IT and pharma companies that work with the US healthcare sector may face headwinds if American hospitals and insurers reduce spending in response to Medicaid cuts. In the clean energy space, the US rolling back subsidies for electric vehicles and solar tech may weaken momentum for collaboration with Indian firms. Over the past few years, India and the US have explored joint work on battery storage, green hydrogen, and solar R&D—initiatives that now may see reduced push. The US pulling back on clean energy subsidies could also affect its broader commitments to global climate finance, where India has been a beneficiary and partner under several multilateral initiatives. On the other hand, the sharp increase in US defence spending could open new opportunities for India–US defence partnerships, especially in co-production or advanced tech transfers under the iCET framework. While no visa changes were included, the law's strong stance on immigration and its boost to enforcement budgets could signal tighter scrutiny on work visas like H-1B and L-1 in the future. What Happens Next? Now that the Big, Beautiful Bill has officially become law, different parts of it will be rolled out gradually across the United States over the coming months. Some tax changes, like deductions for tips and elder care, or the launch of the new 'Trump Account" for child-related savings, are expected to kick in within the 2025 financial year, once America's tax authorities (the IRS) issue formal guidelines. Other measures, such as cuts to healthcare benefits under Medicaid, reduced food assistance, and restrictions on diversity and inclusion programmes in schools, will take longer to implement. These changes require coordination between central (federal) and state-level agencies, similar to how both the Centre and states in India implement welfare schemes jointly. Legal battles are expected. Civil liberties groups and Democratic state governments have already said they will challenge parts of the law in US courts, especially provisions that affect reproductive health and public health funding. top videos View all Politically, the bill is set to become the centrepiece of Donald Trump's campaign for the 2026 US midterm elections. It gives him and the Republican Party a major achievement to showcase, while also energising opposition from Democrats and social activists. For India, there's no immediate direct impact, but sectors like IT services, pharma, clean energy, and skilled migration will be watching closely.
