Mytrah Raises USD 277 Million NCDs From Piramal Group

 

Mytrah, the India-based renewable focused Independent Power Producer, is pleased to announce that Piramal Group has invested approximately USD 277 million (INR 18 billion) into Mytrah's Indian subsidiaries in the form of non-convertible debentures ("NCDs").

 

The NCDs have a 7-year tenor and are invested into Mytrah Energy (India) Private Limited (approximately USD 150 million, unlisted NCDs) and Mytrah Ujjwal Power Private Limited (approximately USD 127 million, NCDs listed on the BSE). The proceeds will be used to replace existing investments from IDFC Alternatives Limited, AION Capital, Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs, with part of the facility also providing growth capital to the Company.

 

Commenting on the update, Ravi Kailas, Chairman, Mytrah Energy Ltd. said:

 

"This transaction is another example of Mytrah's ability to build our business without diluting shareholder equity. Our story so far has been one of rapid growth enabled by cost effective funding, rigorous project execution and the efficient operation of our portfolio of power generating assets.

 

"Attracting an investor of Piramal's stature reaffirms the quality of Mytrah's operating portfolio and the resulting strong, stable and well diversified cash flow it generates. This transaction also simplifies our financial structure, improves transparency and provides resources to underpin our future growth."
