Commercial vehicle financier Shriram Transport Finance has set a borrowing target of Rs 12,000 crore for FY12 and may look at a second retail bond issue before the end of the fiscal year. The firm, India's top financier for used commercial vehicles, has already planned to raise up to Rs 1,000 crore of the total through the sale of non-convertible debentures (NCD) to meet lending requirements and pay back debt. The issue opens on June 27 and closes on July 9.Shriram Transport, which meets its capital requirements mainly through bank loans and NCD issuances, is working towards diversifying its liability portfolio through retail bonds. According to RBI regulations, non-banking finance companies (NBFC) in India are not allowed to go for offshore borrowings, limiting them to only the domestic avenues. Shriram Transport has Rs 36,000 crore of assets under management as of end March 2011.
Last month, the Reserve Bank of India said that bank loans to NBFCs, excluding microfinance institutions which are categorised as NBFC, would not be classified as priority sector loans. So, Shriram will have to replace its priority sector borrowings with banks to the extent of Rs 5,000 crore in the next three years, adding to its cost by at least a 100 basis points.crackcrack
