THE ECONOMIC TIMES NEWS
8TH NOV- 12TH NOV
R-POWER GETS $5-B LINE OF CREDIT
FROM US EX-IM
 THE Export-Import Bank of United States will offer loans up to $5
billion to Reliance Power, part of the Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group, to
help the Indian company purchase US goods and services for various
power plants.
 The agreement would make available long-term dollar loans in the
next three years.
 Considering that Ex-Im Bank exposure to India has been primarily
limited to public sector, execution of the MoU is a landmark event that
would go a long way in increasing diversity of lenders that could
provide long-term finance to India’s private sector
 Reliance Power is implementing power projects with aggregate capacity
of over 37,000 mw. The company had earlier placed a $750-million
order with General Electric for its power plants.

ICICI RAISES $1 B VIA 10-YR BOND SALE-BOND
OFFERING BANK’S LARGEST IN OVER 3 YEARS;
LARGEST ORDER BOOK OF $5 B
 ICICI Bank has raised $1 billion through the issue of 10-year fixed rate notes to
international investors. The bonds carry a coupon of 5.75%.
 The return on the bonds translates into aspread of 309.26 basis points over London
Interbank Offered Rates (Libor) for a similar tenor.
 At $1 billion, the bond offering is ICICI’s largest in over three years.
 This is also the first 10-year senior bond from the Indian banking sector. Bankers feel
that one outcome of the second round of quantitative easing in the US would be an
increased demand for Indian paper where returns are expected to be high, thanks to
policy measures by the central bank.
 The bond offering has received a ‘BBB-‘ from S&P
 The notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the bank. Investors in these
bonds will get priority over all subordinated issues and these securities will be listed on
the Singapore Exchange.
 The bank has issued bonds under Rule 144A of the Securities Act in the US, which
allows securities to be sold to QIBs without complete disclosure requirements that public
offerings are subjected to. Mr Chadha said 42% sold into the US on this bond
