Adani Ports & SEZ likely to raise ₹5k crore through 15-yr bonds today

Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ), India’s largest port developer and operator, is preparing for a landmark financial move by launching a ₹5,000 crore bond issue on Thursday. This 15-year rupee bond sale will be the biggest-ever domestic bond offering by the company and marks its first foray into such a long-duration issuance. According to market insiders, the bond's coupon is expected to range between 7.7% and 8%.

The funds raised are likely to strengthen APSEZ’s infrastructure investments, aiding the expansion of port logistics in supply chain operations. This move comes at a critical time when India port congestion has been a growing concern, especially amid rising import-export demands and infrastructural bottlenecks.

As a leader in shipping ports and freight handling, APSEZ plays a crucial role in streamlining cargo movements across India’s coastline. This bond issuance may further support the development of smart port and supply chain systems, enhancing efficiency, reducing turnaround times, and integrating digital tools for seamless logistics.

With global trade flows increasing, APSEZ’s bold capital market strategy signals its long-term commitment to transforming India’s maritime infrastructure and resolving port congestion in India through sustainable investments and innovation.
