The company will raise debt through public issuance of non-convertible debentures (NCDs) of Rs.500 crore in tranches. It will also raise Rs.150-200 crore by securitising its loan book through the issuance of various debt instruments like market-linked debentures, pass-through certificates (PTCs) and Direct assignments. Rs. 100-150 crore by means of credit from various institutions including PSU Banks, NBFCs and Other Financial institutions.

The NCDs have been rated CRISIL BBB/Stable and the first tranche of Rs.150 crore will hit the market in September this year.

To raise equity, Indel Money is in talks with a number of PEs to divest up to 15 per cent. The funds will be utilised for both lending and expansion activities.

The gold loan NBFC expects 55% growth in AUM in FY21-22 over FY20-21 banking on burgeoning demand. The gold loan business has increased by 52% year-on-year in FY20-21 to Rs 513 crore.
