In an effort to reduce its interest burden on domestic debt, Essar Oil is reportedly planning to raise $1.8 billion via overseas loans and bond sales in a span of next six months. Post refinancing, the company expects its average interest rate to fall to half of the 11.5% it currently pays on total debt of about Rs 19000 crore.
Indian companies are increasingly looking abroad to refinance loans to avoid high interest rates at home. Although Reserve Bank of India has slashed its repurchase rate three times over the past two years, most recently to 7.5%, it still is the highest central bank policy rates among the world’s largest economies.
Essar Oil is a fully integrated oil and gas company of international scale with strong presence across the hydrocarbon value chain from exploration and production to refining and oil retail.
