Non-bank lender Piramal Finance plans to borrow up to  USD 1 billion every year from foreign sources as it seeks to diversify its funding sources, a top official has said.
The company has raised USD 350 million from IFC and ADB and is in advanced talks to secure another USD 150 million from a multilateral funding agency over the next three weeks, its Chief Executive and Managing Director Jairam Sridharan said.
"We plan to continue to raise USD 500 million-1 billion from foreign sources across multiple routes every year," Sridharan said.
In FY25, it had raised USD 800 million through external commercial borrowings and bond issue routes, but had not raised any money from foreign sources in FY26 given the rate cuts which made local borrowing cheaper, he added.
The landed cost of funds in rupee terms, including hedging costs for the latest issuances, is in the range of 88.5 per cent, as against the incremental funding cost of 8.75-8.80 per cent for funding from domestic markets, He sai

Air pollution is considered a reason for respiratory and cardiac problems. However, experts warn that it also increases the risk of eye infection and aggravates existing issues among those with ocular problems.
Doctors hold fine particulates -- PM2.5 -- the main culprit for eye problems such as allergic conjunctivitis, scratches on the surface of the eyes, dryness, blurred vision, and increased sensitivity to light.
"Every winter, my clinic sees a rise in the number of people complaining of red, itchy, watery, and burning eyes. The main reason is high air pollution, especially fine particles known as PM2.5," said Dr Ajay Sharma, co-founder of Eye Q Eye Hospital.
PM2.5 includes tiny particulates from vehicle smoke, dust, burning waste, and firecrackers, he said, adding that these particles are so small that they easily enter the eyes and settle on the cornea, the clear front layer of the eye.
