The full read
Aadhar Housing has taken another trip to the bond market, raising ₹350 cr through senior secured NCDs, its second such issue in two months — ₹250 cr came in June. The floating-rate structure and ICRA AA Positive rating are unchanged from prior deals. At 1.55% of market cap, the raise is too small to shift profitability or debt ratios meaningfully. Routine. For an HFC that taps this market regularly, the event is procedural, not strategic.
