Larsen & Toubro raised $600 million (Rs 2,880 crore) on Thursday through a mix of foreign currency convertible bonds ($200 million) and a qualified institutional placement ($400 million). While the QIP was made at one per cent discount to Wednesday’s closing price of Rs 1,677.40, the FCCBs were issued at a 15 per cent premium. The company diluted 1.9 per cent stake through the issue. The FCCBs have been issued for five years and can be converted any time. However, given the premium of 15 per cent, an investor will have to hold the bonds for some time to book profits.
The funds raised would help the company bid for infrastructure and ultra mega power projects (UMPPs) announced by the Government. L&T’s expertise lies in executing large turnkey power projects and it now wants to explore opportunities on its own. Though it had bid for a few power projects earlier, it was not successful.
The money raised will be kept as a corpus to bid for future power projects. The company proposes to invest between Rs 30,000 crore and Rs 50,000 crore in the next five years in power projects. About Rs 5,000-10,000 crore can be managed through internal accruals.
The hydropower projects will come up either in Himachal Pradesh or Arunachal Pradesh, while the company has zeroed in on
