$HDFCBANK Raises $750 Million via Overseas Dollar Bonds

India’s largest private lender, $HDFCBANK , successfully raised $750 million through the issuance of five-year dollar-denominated bonds. Pricing and Spread: The bonds were priced at a fine spread of 90 basis points over the benchmark US Treasury yield, reflecting a calculated premium for its capital procurement. Intended Use of Funds: The capital generated from this international bond issuance is earmarked primarily to finance and support the expansion of the bank's growing foreign operations. Key Deal Managers: The transaction was managed by an extensive syndicate of global financial institutions, acting as joint global coordinators and lead managers, including BofA Securities, Citigroup, HSBC, J.P. Morgan, Mashreq, MUFG, and Standard Chartered Bank. Market Context: This tight pricing arrangement follows a similar capital raise by the State Bank of India in September 2025, which drew a tight spread of 75 basis points over US Treasuries for a $500 million five-year dollar bond.
