Capri Global Capital Raises $300 Million Through Maiden US Dollar Bond Issue
Capri Global Capital Limited has raised US$300 million through its first-ever US Dollar bond issuance, marking a significant step in the NBFC’s funding and capital diversification strategy.
The company announced on September 2, 2026, that it successfully issued Senior Secured Notes maturing in 2029, with the bonds carrying a 7.55% annual coupon.
Strong Demand From Global Investors
The bond issue received strong demand from international investors and was oversubscribed by more than 2.3 times, with the order book exceeding US$700 million.
The issuance attracted 64 investor accounts, with the company highlighting a high allocation to global real-money investors.
By geography, the allocation was:
- US: 49%
- Asia: 39%
- EMEA: 12%
Asset and fund managers accounted for 91% of the allocation, followed by insurance companies at 5%, while banks, private banks and other investors accounted for the remaining 4%.
The transaction was managed by a consortium of global banks comprising Barclays, Citi, Deutsche Bank, Emirates NBD and UBS.
Why the Fundraising Matters for Investors
The US$300 million fundraising is important because it gives Capri Global access to an additional pool of international capital, reducing its reliance on domestic funding sources.
For an NBFC, the availability and cost of funding are critical factors influencing loan growth and profitability. The successful bond issuance therefore strengthens Capri Global’s ability to diversify its borrowing sources as it expands its lending business.
However, investors should also consider the 7.55% coupon cost when assessing the eventual impact on the company’s cost of funds and net interest margins.
The transaction itself does not automatically translate into higher earnings. Its longer-term benefit will depend on how efficiently Capri Global deploys the funds and whether the resulting lending growth generates adequate spreads and returns.
Capri Global’s Expanding Lending Business
Capri Global Capital is a retail-focused NBFC with a diversified lending portfolio.
As of June 30, 2026, the company reported:
- Assets under management: More than ₹40,000 crore
- Customer base: More than 7.6 lakh
- Branches: More than 1,400
- Employees: More than 13,700
Its lending businesses include gold loans, MSME loans, construction finance and housing finance through its subsidiary Capri Global Housing Finance.
The company also operates fee-based businesses including insurance distribution and car-loan distribution.
Management View
Rajesh Sharma, Managing Director of Capri Global Capital, said the debut US Dollar bond issue represents an important milestone as the company scales its business.
He said the strong response from international investors validates the company’s credit strength and business model while helping Capri Global diversify its funding sources across domestic and global capital pools.
Investor Takeaway
Capri Global’s US$300 million maiden Dollar bond issue is a significant financing milestone for the company.
The key positives are the successful access to international debt markets, strong investor demand and greater diversification of funding sources.
At the same time, the 7.55% coupon is an important factor for investors to monitor because funding costs directly influence the profitability of an NBFC.
The next important question for investors is therefore how Capri Global deploys the newly raised capital and whether it can convert the additional funding capacity into profitable loan-book growth while maintaining asset quality and margins.
Overall, the transaction strengthens Capri Global’s funding platform and could support its expansion strategy, but its ultimate impact on earnings will depend on the returns generated from the capital raised.
