The NCDs have been rated AAA by credit rating agencies and will be listed on the National Stock Exchange.

The effective yield for NCD holders across different investor categories ranges between 6.85 per cent and 7.30 per cent per annum. Investors can apply for the issue between January 16 and January 30, 2026.
