“… with a dedicated green platform, issuers, investors and traders will find it more convenient to list and trade green, social and sustainable bonds,” India INX MD and CEO V Balasubramaniam said.

Adani Green Energy is one of India’s largest private sector solar power developers and operators with an operational capacity of close to 2 Gw. It raised $500 million at a coupon of 6.25 percent in an overseas debt sale that was oversubscribed three times. About 77 percent and 19 percent were distributed to Fund Managers and Insurers & Pension, respectively, said a media statement issued by India INX.

This is the first issuance by a private non-banking company on GSM, the exchange’s debt listing platform, the statement said. India INX’s GSM is India’s first debt listing platform that allows raising funds in any currency of choice by both foreign and Indian issuers from investors across the globe.

The green bond taxonomy followed by India INX is as per ICMA’s Green Bond Principles and Climate Bonds Initiative which provides an ideal platform for global investors to invest, the statement said.

India INX, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BSE, is India’s first International Exchange set up at Gujarat International Finance Tech-City (GIFT City).
