Why you should invest?
The NCD is secured, which means the above debt is backed by assets of the company
Additional 0.25% coupon rate for certain categories make it attractive for them
The interest rates are better than your regular FDs
No TDS if invested in Demat Form
Why you should not invest?
Infrastructure Financing is risky business as the success depends on timely and successful completion of the project. In India, there are a lot of infrastructure projects struck at various stages for various reasons.
The NPA is 3.84% which is bad
The profits of the company declined in last few years
How to Apply?
If you have Demat account apply through that. It’s the easiest way to apply and also avoids a lot of hassle in terms of KYC and paper work
In case you don’t have Demat Account, you can download the application form from company site or Financial Institutions and submit to collection centers.
Recommendation:
My recommendation is to invest some part of your Fixed Income investment in this NCD Issue
You should always have diversified portfolio be it fixed deposit, NCD or equity investment
Its good idea to remain invested till maturity because liquidity on exchanges is low and hence you would get lower than market value
If you plan to invest in this issue, do it early as most NCD issues are over-subscribed before the end date.
