作者:Khushi Malhotra 孟买,10月9日 - 印度阿迪亚波拉可再生能源公司正寻求15亿美元卢比计价贷款,以资助收购壳牌公司印度可再生能源业务,并避免更昂贵的桥梁债务,三位知情银行家表示。

India's Aditya Birla unit seeks $1.5 billion in rupee loans to buy Shell arm Solenergi, bankers say By Khushi Malhotra MUMBAI, Oct 9 - India's Aditya Birla Renewables is seeking $1.5 billion in rupee-denominated loans to fund the acquisition of Shell Plc's Indian renewable energy arm and avoid a costlier bridge debt, three bankers aware of the discussions said.

阿迪亚波拉集团可再生能源部门已于7月同意以18亿美元收购壳牌公司旗下Solenergi Power,该业务包含Sprng Energy集团公司。

The renewable-energy arm of Aditya Birla Group agreed in July to acquire Solenergi Power, a Shell Plc unit that includes the Sprng Energy group companies, for $1.8 billion.

该公司早前已从三菱日联金融集团(MUFG Bank)获得16亿美元桥梁贷款承诺,用于资助此次收购,两位银行家透露。这些银行家因未获授权向媒体发表评论而拒绝透露身份。

The Aditya Birla Group firm had earlier secured a $1.6 billion bridge loan commitment from MUFG Bank to fund the acquisition, two bankers said. The bankers declined to be identified as they are not authorised to speak to the media.

阿迪亚波拉可再生能源(ABRen)发言人未回应路透社周四通过电子邮件发送的查询。

A spokesperson for Aditya Birla Renewables (ABRen) did not respond to Reuters queries sent by email on Thursday.

印度公司目前正寻求在项目层面募集更长期的卢比计价贷款,以替代桥梁融资,上述三位银行家称。

The Indian company is now looking to raise longer-term rupee-denominated loans at the project level to avoid the bridge facility, the three bankers cited above said.

桥梁融资通常用作临时资金,成本较高;而长期项目融资则以资产为担保,可降低融资成本。

Bridge financing is usually intended as interim funding and comes at a higher cost, while longer-term project financing is backed by assets and reduces the cost of funding.

一位银行家表示,该贷款的期限预计将占项目生命周期的约80%。

The tenor of the loans is expected to be around 80% of the project's lifecycle, one of the bankers said.

该贷款预计将分配至17至20个特殊目的载体(SPV),每个载体持有单个项目,其中一些项目已投入运营,其余尚在建设中,同上述银行家称。

It will likely be split across 17-20 special purpose vehicles holding individual projects, including some that are already operational and the balance under construction, one of the bankers cited above said.

由于交易尚未完成,ABRen目前无需立即向壳牌支付款项,这为其提供了时间来最终确定融资结构。

ABRen is not immediately required to make payment to Shell because the transaction is yet to close, giving it time to finalise the financing structure.

该公司已向多家印度银行发出融资请求,包括印度国家银行(State Bank of India)和HDFC银行,银行家们补充道。

The company has reached out to multiple Indian banks, including the State Bank of India and HDFC Bank, for the loans, the bankers added.

三菱日联金融集团(MUFG)、印度国家银行和HDFC银行均未回应置评请求。

MUFG, SBI and HDFC Bank did not reply to requests for comment.
