Adani Group is in advanced negotiations to secure $250 million in offshore loans from Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG), signaling renewed lender confidence despite past controversies. The funding will be split between two key subsidiaries—Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd and Adani Airport Holdings Ltd.
Key highlights of the deal:
-
Adani Ports is expected to raise approximately $100 million, with the agreement likely to be signed this week
-
Adani Airport Holdings aims to secure around $150 million
-
The loans will be bilateral and priced over SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate), with spreads ranging from 210 to 220 basis points
-
Proceeds will be used for bond buybacks and general corporate purposes
-
This marks MUFG’s first bilateral loan to Adani Group since the US DOJ’s indictment of Gautam Adani in November 2024
Strategic context:
-
The deal reflects growing investor confidence in Adani’s diversified infrastructure portfolio
-
Adani Ports had previously raised $150 million from DBS Group Holdings in May 2025
-
The group is also in talks with other Japanese lenders for additional debt
-
Separately, Adani Enterprises’ ₹1,000 crore public bond offering was oversubscribed, indicating strong market appetite
This funding move is seen as a strategic pivot to stabilize liquidity, refinance obligations, and reinforce Adani’s global financing channels amid evolving regulatory scrutiny.
