MUMBAI, March 23 (Reuters) - India's Ramco Cements Ltd is planning to raise up to 5 billion rupees ($60.81 million) through multiple maturity bonds, three merchant bankers said on Thursday. The cement manufacturing company will pay a coupon of 7.90% on three bond issuances and has invited bids from investors and bankers on Tuesday, they said. Ramco is planning to raise 1.5 billion rupees each through bonds maturing in four years, and four years and six months. It also plans to raise 2 billion rupees through five-year bonds, according to the bankers. Reuters reported earlier in the day that Ramco Cements is likely to raise up to 5 billion rupees through multiple maturity bonds, marking its return to the market after a year.


Ramco last tapped the bond market in March 2022, when it raised 1.5 billion rupees via five-year bonds at a coupon of 6.90% and 1.5 billion rupees through bonds maturing in four years and 9 months at a 6.90% coupon. The bonds are rated AA+ by ICRA and the issue will be settled later next week.
