India’s largest private sector lender ICICI Bank has agreed to lend Rs 5500 crore to Air India via non-convertible debentures (NCDs) route for restructuring debt, according to a media report. The bank will subscribe to non-convertible debentures (NCDs) to be issued by Air India at 9.8% to help lessen the airline’s burgeoning debt.
The bond issue is expected to help the national carrier save around interest cost worth Rs 180 crore.
The state-run airline, which has been servicing the loan taken for buying aircraft at over 12%, will pay the interest every six months to the bank and has agreed to provide government guarantee to the lender.
ICICI Bank’s net profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 surged by 44.40% at Rs 1452.11 crore as compared to Rs 1005.57 crore for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.
