“This is an excellent result for AGEL, which shows strong support from our lenders and demonstrates our ability to access bank debt on competitive terms in sync with the underlying asset development model to provide a long-term solution,” said Phuntsok Wangyal, Finance Director, Adani Green Energy in a press release.
The facility is linked to the Tokyo Overnight Average Rate (TONA), a Japanese interest rate benchmark that yields close to zero, underscoring the attractiveness of expanding alternative capital pools providing relatively competitive interest rates, it said.
