Reliance raises $4 billion in India’s largest-ever foreign currency bonds issue
The Hindu
This is the largest ever foreign currency bond transaction in India, eclipsing ONGC Videsh Ltd’s $2.2 billion USD bonds issue of 2014.
Reliance Industries Ltd, the nation’s most valuable company, on Thursday said it has raised USD 4 billion (around ₹30,000 crore) in debt through the largest ever foreign currency bond issuance by an Indian entity.
The oil-to-telecom conglomerate plans to use the proceeds of the three tranche issues to retire existing borrowings.
The issue was “nearly 3 times oversubscribed with a peak order book aggregating around $11.5 billion,” the company said in a statement.

Insurance penetration and density are often misunderstood and do not reveal how many families are insured or whether they would be financially secure if the main earning member were to die. The real issue is not reach but adequacy, as households may have life insurance but not enough cover to replace lost income, leaving them financially vulnerable.
