Mumbai | Strategic Fundraising for Growth

Equinox India Developments (formerly Indiabulls Real Estate) has successfully raised ₹950 crore through non-convertible debentures (NCDs) to finance its ambitious real estate projects—Indiabulls Greens & Park in Panvel. The capital infusion aims to accelerate development under the Maharashtra government’s MMRDA Lease Rental Housing Scheme.

Key Highlights of the NCD Issue

The 48-month NCDs were issued by Lucina Land Development (LLDL) at an interest rate of 13.00%.

The issuance is backed by corporate guarantees from Equinox India, Sion Developers, Citra Properties, and RGE Constructions.

The NCDs hold an IVR A(CE)/Stable rating from Infomerics, ensuring investor confidence.

A three-notch downgrade triggers an accelerated redemption option, requiring LLDL to repay principal and interest within 90 days.
