Sammaan Capital approved an issuance of USD 300 million foreign currency denominated senior secured social bonds at 8.95% coupon, enhancing its funding diversification. The move supports sustainable financing and will likely boost the company’s growth in affordable housing and MSME lending sectors.

Sammaan Capital Limited, a leading mortgage-focused non-banking financial company (NBFC), has recently approved the issuance of foreign currency denominated bonds worth USD 300 million. The approval came from the Securities Issuance and Investment Committee during their meeting held on August 21, 2025.

The bonds carry an 8.95% coupon rate with a maturity date in 2028. This issuance marks a significant step in Sammaan Capital’s strategy to diversify its funding base and reduce dependence on domestic borrowings by sourcing up to 10-15% of funds from international markets. CEO Gagan Banga highlighted that after this issue, 10% of the company’s borrowings will come from overseas investors, aiming to raise up to USD 500 million in the next 12 months, primarily from multilateral agencies.

Key highlights of this bond issuance include:

The proceeds will be used for onward lending activities permitted under Reserve Bank of India’s External Commercial Borrowing (ECB) guidelines.

The bonds are senior secured social bonds, indicating a focus on funding sustainable and social projects aligned with the company's Sustainable Financing Framework.

The issue was arranged solely by Deutsche Bank, reflecting strong international investor interest.

As of August 2025, Sammaan Capital's assets under management (AUM) stand at ₹63,000 crore, with an expected growth rate of 20% per annum.

The company serves affordable housing and MSME segments, aiming to support financial inclusion and economic development via innovative lending products.

This foreign currency bond issuance is also the first such high-yield bond issuance by an Indian NBFC in the current fiscal year, signaling renewed confidence of global investors in Indian financial instruments amid recent market volatilities.

Sammaan Capital’s bond issuance underscores its robust financial health, strategic international expansion, and commitment to sustainable finance, positioning it well for strong growth in FY26 and beyond.
