MUMBAI, June 25 (Reuters) - Three Indian development finance institutions are planning to raise at least $1.5 billion through foreign-currency bank loans under the central bank's discounted overseas borrowing facility, three people familiar with the plans said.
The institutions are favouring loans over bonds because none has issued dollar debt before and the process is simpler, the sources added.
The National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD), the Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) and the National Bank for Financing Infrastructure and Development (NaBFID) are each seeking to raise at least $500 million through foreign-currency loans, with NaBFID the furthest along after initiating talks with lenders, an executive confirmed.
"We expect to raise up to $2 billion via ECBs in this financial year. At present, we are planning to raise $500 million through the ECB route, and we have already started our activity and are exploring in the market," NaBFID managing director Rajkiran Rai told Reuters.
"With the RBI window opening, ECBs work out much cheaper. For the loan, the landed cost could be in the range of 6.5%-7.0%, NaBFID's Rai added.
The institution had also raised $125 million via a smaller dollar loan tranche in March, the sources added.
The sources declined to be identified as they are not authorised to speak to the media. NABARD and SIDBI did not respond to Reuters' requests for comment.
NABARD and SIDBI, which have not yet tapped foreign funding, have initiated preliminary talks and could approach the market over the next 30 to 40 days, according to all the sources.
"There is a lengthy procedure involved in a debut dollar bond sale, and it is time-consuming. If an institution is not going to be a regular issuer like EXIM Bank, it makes little sense to choose bonds over loans," one of the sources said.
Based on the credit ratings, dollar loans may be just marginally expensive than bonds for now.
The Reserve Bank of India earlier this month allowed banks and state-run companies raising funds overseas to access a subsidised hedging facility, lowering the cost of managing currency risk as part of a broader effort to attract dollar inflows and support the rupee.
Since then, HDFC Bank HDBK.NS, Axis Bank AXBK.NS and Power Finance Corp PWFC.NS have raised a combined $1.85 billion through dollar bonds, while Bank of Baroda BOB.NS and State Bank of India SBI.NS are preparing for similar issues.

MUMBAI, June 23 (Reuters) - India's state-run Power Finance Corp PWFC.NS has accepted bids worth $300 million for a five-year dollar bond issue, becoming the first non-bank lender to tap the central bank's subsidised hedging facility for overseas borrowings, three bankers said.
The bonds were priced at a spread of 105 basis points over U.S. Treasuries, giving a yield of 5.327%, well inside the initial guidance of 130 basis points, indicating strong investor demand.
"The company chose to accept a lower quantum as this was their first tranche, but they could explore this route again when treasury yields ease," one of the bankers said on Tuesday.
Earlier, PFC had told bankers that it intended to raise $500 million, but ultimately settled for a smaller amount, as bankers said the spread would have widened had it pursued the full quantum.
The bankers requested anonymity as they are not authorised to speak to media, while PFC did not reply to a Reuters email seeking comment.
This comes after India's top private lender, HDFC Bank HDBK.NS sold $750 million of five-year dollar bonds last week at a spread of about 90 basis points over U.S. Treasuries.
Earlier this month, the RBI said external commercial borrowings by banks and state-run companies would qualify for a subsidised hedging facility, helping cut the cost of managing currency risk.
The step forms part of a wider RBI push to draw in dollar inflows and bolster the rupee.
Lenders Bank of Baroda and Axis Bank have finalised bankers for their planned dollar bond sales, and may set the pricing on them before the end of the week.

MUMBAI, June 22 (Reuters) - Indian lenders are on course to lock in pricing for $1.5 billion of bond issues this week, as a cheaper hedging facility spurs a rush in foreign-currency issuance, three bankers said on Monday.
State-run financier Power Finance Corp PWFC.NS aims to sell about $500 million of bonds, and has given an initial price guidance of a yield spread of 130 basis points over U.S. Treasuries, the bankers said, making it the first non-bank lender to tap dollar bonds after India earlier this month opened a forex swap facility as part of wider measures to help the rupee.
"We expect the pricing for the PFC bond issue to ease to around 100 bps over Treasury," one of the bankers said.
State-run Bank of Baroda BOB.NS will sell $500 million of five-year dollar bonds this week. Private sector peer Axis Bank AXBK.NS also plans to sell perpetual dollar bonds worth at least $500 million, according to the bankers.
"We are expecting bonds of banks to see very strong demand, as such issuances are rare in the dollar market," the second banker said.
The bankers did not want to be identified as they are not authorised to speak to the media.
Power Finance Corp, Bank of Baroda and Axis Bank did not respond to Reuters emails seeking comment.

MUMBAI, Feb 11 (Reuters) - Indian state-run firms plan to raise 175 billion rupees ($1.93 billion) through bonds this week amid expectations that borrowing costs will rise further closer to the fiscal year end.
With sizable supply lined up, investors say the success of the bond sales will hinge on the firms' willingness to accept lower prices.
Corporate bonds have slipped in tandem with government notes, making fundraising expensive for firms and squeezing their margins.
Top-rated state-owned firms, including National Bank for Financing Infrastructure and Development (NaBFID), Housing and Urban Development Corp (HUDCO) HUDC.NS, Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) and Power Finance Corp, PWFC.NS will issue bonds this week, merchant bankers said.
"The pickup in issuance suggests companies have stopped waiting for borrowing costs to decline and have accepted that yields are unlikely to soften materially in the near term. They are choosing to access the market despite the high rates," said Venkatakrishnan Srinivasan, founder and managing partner at Rockfort Fincap.
The companies did not respond to emails seeking comment.
While NaBFID plans to issue 10-year bonds, HUDCO will issue perpetual bonds with a 10-year call option. SIDBI and PFC will issue notes with maturities of up to five years.
SIDBI and PFC withdrew their shorter-duration bond sales in December after investors sought higher yields. PFC’s issue will be closely watched following a proposed merger with REC.
"While interest exists for such issues, the key determinant will be the pricing," said Nikhil Aggarwal, founder & group CEO at Grip Invest, an online bond trading platform.
He noted that PFC's December bond sale was pulled over pricing. With interest rates on hold and the yield curve moving up, investors may demand higher yields.
Bond yields move inversely to prices.
LSEG benchmark 'AAA'-rated corporate bond yields are higher compared to the end of December, though they have retreated from recent highs hit immediately after India's federal budget earlier this month.
Investors expect the central bank to hold rates, and alongside higher government borrowing, rising inflation expectations and liquidity uncertainty, that is reinforcing a "higher-for-longer" rate view, Srinivasan said.

LSEG benchmark 'AAA'-rated corporate bond yields are higher compared to the end of December, though they have retreated from recent highs hit immediately after India's federal budget earlier this month.
Investors expect the central bank to hold rates, and alongside higher government borrowing, rising inflation expectations and liquidity uncertainty, that is reinforcing a "higher-for-longer" rate view, Srinivasan said.

MUMBAI, Jan 12 (Reuters) - India's Power Finance Corp PWFC.NS (PFC) is set to launch the country's largest retail issue of bonds in nearly 8 years this week, as it targets to raise up to 50 billion rupees ($554.23 million), according to a term-sheet seen by Reuters.
The issue has a base size of 5 billion rupees and a greenshoe option of 45 billion rupees. If the company can raise the full quantum, it would be the largest public bond issue since May 2018, data from the market regulator, the Securities and Exchange Board of India, showed.
PFC will sell bonds maturing in 5 years, 10 years, 10 years and 1 month, and 15 years. The issue will open for subscription on Friday and close on January 30.
The company will offer an annual coupon of 6.85% to institutional investors and corporates for five-year bonds, and 7.00% and 7.05% for 10-year and 15-year tenors, respectively.
For high-net-worth individuals, the state-run firm would pay an additional 5 basis points, 10 bps, and 15 bps, and retail investors an annual coupon of 7.00%, 7.20%, and 7.30% for the five-year, 10-year, and 15-year paper, respectively.
PFC has also introduced a zero-coupon option for investors with a 10-year and 1-month maturity, offering a yield of 6.80% to institutional players and companies, 6.85% to HNIs, and 6.95% to retailers.
The fifth option offered by PFC is also a 15-year paper, with the option to make a direct payment at maturity. The yield for this note is 7.05% for the first two categories, and 7.20% and 7.30% for HNIs and retail investors, respectively.
This is PFC's first public bond issue in 30 months, and the notes are rated AAA by CRISIL, CARE, and ICRA.
AK Capital Services, Tip Sons Consultancy Services, Nuvama Wealth Management, and Trust Investment Advisors are the lead managers.

MUMBAI, June 5 (Reuters) - India's Power Finance Corp (PFC) PWFC.NS is planning to raise funds through the sale of zero-coupon, deep-discount bonds for the second time in five weeks, but with a reduced size, merchant bankers said.
The state-owned non-banking financial firm aims to raise 20 billion rupees ($233 million), including a greenshoe option of 15 billion rupees, through bonds maturing in 10 years and one month and has invited bids from bankers and investors on June 9.
The company did not reply to a Reuters email seeking comment.
In April, PFC was forced to shelve its planned bond issue to raise 35 billion rupees, including a greenshoe option of 29 billion rupees, after weak investor appetite led to unattractive pricing.
The cutoff at the base size would have been 6.54%, while that for the full size would have worked out to 6.90%, merchant bankers had said.
Meanwhile, another state-run financial company, REC RECM.NS, received approval for a fundraise through deep-discount bonds for a second time in less than a year.
It has until March 2027 to raise up to 50 billion rupees ($581.7 million) through the sale of zero-coupon, deep-discount bonds (ZCB), with a tenor of 10 years and six months.
Deep-discount bonds, a rarely used corporate debt structure, are issued at a steep discount - often more than 20%-25% off face value - and don't pay regular interest, similar to zero-coupon notes, eliminating reinvestment risk.
Instead, investors get their returns on investment when the bonds are redeemed at face value at maturity.
REC had raised 50 billion rupees through ZCB at a yield of 6.25% in September 2024.

MUMBAI, April 22 (Reuters) - At least six Indian state-run companies have sought government approval to issue deep-discount bonds, opting for a rarely used corporate bond structure to raise relatively cheaper funds, four sources aware of the matter said on Tuesday.
These companies are Indian Railway Finance Corp (IRFC) INID.NS, Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA) INAR.NS, Power Grid Corp of India (PGC) PGRD.NS, REC RECM.NS, SIDBI and NABARD, the sources said.
REC has yet again sought permission to issue these bonds, after having raised 50 billion rupees ($587 million) similarly in September, when aggressive bids led to lower-than-expected yields.
REC confirmed the development but none of the other firms replied to Reuters emails seeking comment.
Deep-discount bonds are generally issued at a more than 20%-25% discount to their face value and do not pay regular interest, a feature similar to zero-coupon notes that removes reinvestment risks.
The surge in interest from companies to raise funds via these bonds is because they reduce overall borrowing costs in an environment when interest rates are seen falling further.
For investors, these bonds, though not tax-free, offer a significant long-term capital gains benefit. That, along with the rarity of such issues, is boosting demand for such notes, bankers said.
"At maturity, investors receive a profit which is taxable as per capital gains rates. This helps reduce the effective tax rate for investors making zero-coupon bonds attractive," said Nikhil Aggarwal, founder and CEO of online bond trading platform Grip Invest.
Last week, Housing and Urban Development Corp (HUDCO) HUDC.NS became the third state-run company to get approval to issue these bonds.
"HUDCO was the most likely candidate and they have got the approval and we expect REC and IRFC to be the next likely candidates," one of the sources said.
The sources said the government's approval may come in phases as they are not comfortable with a surge in the supply of zero-coupon bonds. The sources refused to be identified as they are not authorised to speak to the media.
HUDCO got approval to raise 50 billion rupees through bonds with a maturity of 10 years and one month, while Power Finance Corp (PFC) PWFC.NS was approved to raise 100 billion rupees in March. Both have until the end of March 2027 to raise these funds.
