Khazanah, Actis to invest Rs 840 cr in IDFC

08 Jul 2010 Evaluate

IDFC will sell convertible securities to Khazanah, the investment holding arm of the Malaysian government, and private equity fund Actis at Rs 176 per share to raise Rs 840 crore. IDFC recently placed shares at Rs 168.25 with qualified institutional investors to raise Rs 2,654 crore.

 

With the combination of QIP and preference shares, the finance firm would raise Rs 3,494 crore. This will take care of fundraising demand for another three years. The equity raised would enable the company to triple its balance sheet in the next three-to-four years’ time.

 

Meanwhile, IDFC has also received infrastructure finance company status from the Reserve Bank of India. Accordingly, banks can now lend higher amounts to IDFC and they will have greater flexibility to borrow from overseas markets.

 

Banks can now lend up to 20% of their net-owned funds against 15% earlier to the institution while IDFC can borrow up to 50% of its net worth through external commercial borrowings. Also, the new status will enable IDFC to lend 25% of its net worth to a single company and 40% to a single group, which is 5% higher than that applicable to a normal non-banking finance company.crackcrack
