Poor response to IOC issue
MUMBAI: Indian Oil Corporation8217;s Rs 300 crore debt issue has bombed. The private placement programme, scheduled to close on February 6, has been deferred till March.
This is perhaps the first instance of a triple-A AAA rated company failing to garner funds from the debt market. quot;No money came in for the issue because of the interest rate uncertainty,quot; a merchant banker handling the issue admitted. quot;We have decided to defer the placement as market conditions are extremely volatile and interest rate movements unpredictable,quot; the source said.
Industry sources cited the RBI8217;s tight money measures 8212; unleashed on January 16. as the reason for the interest rate uncertainity.
