International Debt Offerings

NLF Consultancy advises Indian corporates and financial institutions on international debt offerings — enabling access to deeper global debt capital markets and diversification of the funding base beyond domestic sources.

International debt offerings include External Commercial Borrowings (ECBs), Masala Bonds (rupee-denominated bonds issued internationally), and other offshore debt instruments. These require coordination across RBI, FEMA, SEBI, and the regulations of the target market.

NLF’s team works with international co-managers and legal counsel to structure and execute these transactions efficiently for Indian issuers.
