The bonds will bear interest from March 12, 2024, to March 12, 2042 at the rate of 6.7%.
The bonds will be listed on the India International Exchange (INX).
The proceeds from the bond issue will be utilized to redeem the $500 million, 6.25% senior secured notes issued by Adani Green in 2019.
The bonds were issued by Adani Green Energy (UP), Parampujya Solar Energy, and Prayatna Developer, all subsidiaries of Adani Green Energy.

The funds are meant to help reduce the company’s debt and accelerate capital expenditure to achieve the 45 GW renewable capacity target by 2030.
In the same month, the company announced a follow-on funding of a $1.36 billion senior debt facility as part of its construction financing framework, enhancing the pool to $3 billion since the initial project financing. The financing will be a key enabler in developing a 2,167 MW renewable energy park in Khavda, Gujarat.
