L&T Infra Finance, a unit of Larsen & Toubro, launched the first tranche of its Rs 1,100 crore long-term infrastructure bonds in two series with 9 per cent coupon rate.
The bond issue is aimed at retail investors, who can subscribe to a minimum of five bonds and in multiples of one bond, thereafter.
Each bond would have a face value of Rs 1,000. The bonds will have a maturity of 10 years and a lock-in period of five years, with a buyback option after the fifth year and the seventh year from the date of issue, the company said.
The bonds will be listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and investors can exit the bonds in the secondary market after the completion of the lock-in period.
The issue will open on November 25 and close on December 24.
The bonds are secured, redeemable, non-convertible debentures having benefits under the section 80 CCF of the Income Tax Act, 1961. As per the terms of the CCF, an amount not exceeding Rs 20,000 per annum, shall be deducted from the taxable income and would be over and above the Rs 1,00,000 deduction that is given under 80C of the Income Tax Act.
