The Board of Directors of Reliance Infrastructure Ltd. on Tuesday approved a proposal to raise up to $350 million (₹2,930 crore) by issuing unsecured foreign currency convertible Bonds (FCCBs) to VFSI Holdings Pte. Ltd. The FCCBs will be convertible into equity shares at ₹330 per share. The company said in a regulatory filing that the FCCBs will be unsecured and will have an ultra-low cost coupon of 5% annum with a long maturity of 10 years.
The fund-raising approval is in addition to the ₹3,000 crore fund raise announced on September 19, 2024 through preferential issue.

The ESOS provides for grant of up to 2,60,00,000 fully paid-up equity shares of ₹10 each, representing approximately 5% of the company’s fully diluted capital.
“The ESOS will unlock the employee earning potential, in alignment to the company’s performance and growth,” the company said in the filing.
