The Kerala state-owned non-banking finance company, which last tapped the market in September 2020 to raise 2.5 billion rupees, will pay a coupon of 8.90% and had invited bids from investors earlier in the day, the bankers said. The bonds carry five tenors from 6 years to 10 years with equal quarterly redemption in each series. The bonds are provisionally rated AA by Acuite Ratings and Infomerics Ratings.
