PFC raises $300 million through five year dollar bond

Power Finance Corp successfully raised $300 million in international bonds, marking India's second such issuance since the RBI's special swap arrangement. The five-year bond was priced at 105 basis points above US treasuries, attracting a substantial order book. This move capitalizes on the RBI's 1.5% fixed-rate swap for external borrowings, with other major Indian banks also planning similar issuances.
