STEELXIND Completes ₹350 Cr Debt Refinancing, Expects Substantial Finance Cost Savings
Steel Exchange India Limited refinanced ₹350 crore debt at significantly lower interest rates and extended tenure, expecting substantial finance cost savings and improved cash flows.
The refinancing of ₹350 crore at considerably lower interest rates and longer tenure will have a high impact by significantly reducing the company's financial burden, enhancing liquidity, and improving its overall financial health and profitability.
The refinancing leads to a substantial reduction in interest rates (5.50% lower than the previous 18.75%) and an extended repayment tenure, which will significantly lower finance costs and improve cash flow for the company.
Steel Exchange India Limited (STEELXIND) has successfully completed the refinancing of ₹350 crore in existing debt facilities, including Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) and a Term Loan, securing more favourable terms and substantially reduced interest rates. * The company secured refinancing from Kotak Mahindra Investments Limited, Oxyzo Financial Services Limited, and Kotak Credit Opportunities Fund. * On September 30, 2025, the company drew ₹150 crore in Term Loans. This facilitated the prepayment of a ₹25 crore Term Loan, full pre-redemption of ₹84.30 crore of Secured unlisted NCDs, and partial redemption of ₹32.35 crore of Secured Listed NCDs, reducing outstanding listed NCDs to ₹198.56 crore. * On October 7, 2025, Kotak Credit Opportunities Fund disbursed ₹199.17 crore, acquiring the Secured listed NCDs from existing holders, thereby completing the replacement of high-cost long-term debt with lower-cost debt. * The new NCD facilities feature an interest rate reduction of approximately 5.50% compared to the previous borrowing cost of 18.75% per annum, leading to substantial savings in finance costs. * Improved terms include an extended repayment tenure of 5 years from the sanction date (September 2025) until September 2030. This is expected to result in lower cash outflow of approximately ₹130 crore until FY 2028 due to reduced interest rates and a longer repayment period. * Joint Managing Director, Mr. Suresh Kumar Bandi, stated that these steps strengthen the company's financial foundation, ease the interest burden, improve cash flows, and provide flexibility for growth, positioning the company to pursue long-term business objectives with greater confidence. * For FY25, the company reported a Total Income of ₹1,163.37 crore, EBITDA of ₹143.60 crore, and Net Profit of ₹25.93 crore.
