Ashok Leyland Raises Rs 300 Crore Through Debenture Allotment

Ashok Leyland has completed the allotment of Rs 300 crore in unsecured, rated non-convertible debentures through a private placement. The Fund Raising Committee of the company’s Board of Directors approved the allotment of 30,000 non-convertible debentures on August 10, 2026, with each debenture carrying a face value of Rs 1,00,000. The fund-raising transaction provides the company with debt financing through privately placed securities, while the instruments carry a fixed coupon structure and defined maturity terms. The securities have been rated "AA+" with a stable outlook by ICRA, reflecting the stated credit assessment attached to the debt instruments.
The debentures carry a fixed coupon rate of 7.50% per annum, with annual interest payouts scheduled for August 10, 2027, and August 10, 2028. The instruments have a two-year tenure and will mature on August 10, 2028. Their repayment structure provides for a single bullet repayment of the principal amount at the end of the two-year term. This means the principal will be repaid at maturity rather than through periodic instalments during the tenure. The arrangement therefore combines scheduled annual interest payments with a single repayment of the outstanding principal amount when the debentures mature.
The debt securities will be listed on the Wholesale Debt Market segment of the National Stock Exchange of India Limited. The transaction involves 30,000 unsecured, rated non-convertible debentures, with the aggregate face value corresponding to the Rs 300 crore fund-raising amount. The allotment was approved by the Fund Raising Committee on August 10, 2026, while the stated maturity date is August 10, 2028. The securities carry the stated "AA+" rating with a stable outlook from ICRA and a fixed annual coupon of 7.50%. The listing on the Wholesale Debt Market segment provides the designated debt securities with a market listing following their private placement.
