Under the terms of the new structure, AGEL will be able to obtain up to $1,700m, including the present issuance, over the course of time subject to the agreements of the structure.
AGEL managing director and CEO Vneet Jaain said: “The 4.7X oversubscription of this issuance is testimony of the confidence of global investors in the world’s fastest-growing Renewable Energy platform and Adani’s capability to set up a world-class clean energy business.
“This ListCo Senior Green Bond issuance is yet another landmark transaction for AGEL and fully funds our pipeline of projects and reinforces our commitment towards being a sustainability-focused global infrastructure platform.
“We expect to further accelerate our footprint and are firmly on track to become the world’s largest renewable energy company by 2030.”
The joint lead managers to the issuance include DBS Bank, IMI-Intesa Sanpaolo, BNP Paribas, MUFG, Axis Bank, Barclays, Emirates NBD Capital, Mizuho Securities, SMBC Nikko and Standard Chartered Bank.

The deal was said to be the largest in India’s renewable sector and will add 4,954MW of capacity to AGEL’s renewable portfolio.
