ACME Solar has announced that the company has successfully completed the refinancing of INR 2,147 crore, thereby redeeming existing Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) issued by 12 operational special purpose vehicles (SPVs).
These SPVs together represent 450 MW of solar capacity and had issued the NCDs in August 2021 under the Restricted Group (RG) structure, stated the company. Concurrently, the underlying offshore dollar bonds under the orphan structure have also been fully redeemed. This takes the total financing raised so far during the current fiscal to INR 8,198 crore, stated the company.
RG Structure comprises 12 operational solar assets with 56 percent of the overall capacity being tied up with Central Utilities viz. SECI and NTPC, and the rest of the capacity tied up with various States offtakers. RG structure is provisionally rated as AA- by CARE Ratings, which demonstrates credit rating agency comfort on the operational and financial parameters of these assets.
This long-term refinancing has been availed from National Bank for Financing Infrastructure and Development (NaBFID). This has reduced the borrowing cost by approximately 150 basis points across these issuing SPVs, resulting in stronger project cash flows and an enhanced long-term capital structure, stated the company.
ACME Solar has a diversified portfolio of 8,070 MW spanning solar, wind, storage, FDRE and hybrid solutions and an operational contracted capacity of 2,990 MW and about 3.62 GWh of BESS capacity and under-construction contracted capacity of 5,080 MW. The under-construction PPA-signed portfolio stands at 3,880 MW, stated the company.
