It was further mentioned that the NCDs carried a fixed coupon rate of 8.50% per annum, with each series amounting to Rs 1 billion. The company intended to list these NCDs in the Wholesale Debt Market Segment of the National Stock Exchange of India.

The NCDs were allotted on June 7, 2023, and had different maturity dates for each series. The details of the maturity dates were as follows: Series 11A was scheduled to mature on June 7, 2031 (10,000 NCDs), Series 11B on June 7, 2032 (10,000 NCDs), Series 11C on June 7, 2033 (10,000 NCDs), Series 11D on June 7, 2031 (10,000 NCDs), Series 11E on June 7, 2032 (10,000 NCDs), and Series 11F on June 7, 2033 (10,000 NCDs).

The NCDs were backed by a first pari passu charge on all present and future movable assets, except for assets of renewable projects, funds in debt service reserve accounts, and certain investments. Pari passu, meaning "equal footing" in Latin, is a financing arrangement that grants multiple lenders an equal claim to the assets used as security for a loan.
