2 What are Masala Bonds? Masala Bonds are debt securities denominated in INR issued by Indian entities to overseas investors but settled in foreign currency. In other words, they are rupeedenominated bonds issued to overseas buyers. While masala bonds are issued to overseas investors, still the same is denominated in Indian rupees. Accordingly, the term masala is used to give Indian flavour to the said bonds. These are Indian rupee denominated bonds issued in offshore capital markets. The issuance of rupee denominated bond is an attempt to shield issuers from currency risk and instead transfer the risk to investors buying these bonds. Interestingly, currency risk is borne by the investor and hence, during repayment of bond coupon and maturity amount, if rupee depreciates, RBI will realize marginal saving.
3 From where does Masala Bonds Originate? International Finance Corporation, an arm of the World Bank and a major global financial institution that fosters private sector development in developing countries, has seen its rupee-denominated borrowing in international markets during fiscal 2015 (year ended June, 30, 2015); It came up with two bond issues: Maharaja Bonds which were issued to Indian investors and the other one was Masala Bonds that were issued to overseas investors. Further, in July 14, 2016, HDFC was the first Indian company to issue masala bonds and in August 04, 2016, NTPC came up with green masala bonds to support renewable power projects. HDFC was first to list its masala bond on the London Stock Exchange on August 08, 2016

5 INR Offshore/Masala Bonds as a Financing Source The INR Offshore bond market is a significant source of funding for many sovereigns, corporates and banks throughout the world. The primary reasons for why this is the case are set out below Long tenors are achievable (investment grade corporates can potentially raise up to a 10 year tenor for a senior issue) Flexibility Typically bonds are repaid with a bullet repayment on maturity as opposed to amortizing over the life of the debt Diversifies Funding Diversifies funding source away from bank funding, which is typically concentrated on relationship based lending Typical investors are pension funds, insurance companies, asset managers, central banks, commercial banks and private banks. These investors focus on performance and risk Provides access to a global investor base which presents a significant alternative to the local currency debt and foreign currency loans Profile Raises the issuer s profile in the global markets Showcases the credit story internationally Validation of Credit The issuance process involves a comprehensive diligence process examining all aspects of an issuer s business By issuing a Masala bond, an issuer is providing a signal to the market that it is able to successfully withstand high levels of scrutiny Investor demand validates the strength of the credit 3

12 Key Considerations for Investors Limitation of Access Global INR Bonds is a important investment route for Offshore investors who do not have access to domestic market through FII / FPI license and are not able to currently take exposure in INR denominated credit risks Settlement Transactions are settled through Euroclear / Clearstream Risk Investors who have a view on the currency (USD INR) and India Credit would be best placed to invest in Global INR Bonds This product become very attractive as the current view is positive on the Indian growth story going forward. Arbitrage Due to market dynamics, different markets could be pricing same credit differently and this provides a window of opportunity to investors to take exposure in Global INR Bonds Liquidity Investors would prefer liquidity in secondary market to manage their exposure based on their views on credit and FX rate, thus size of the offering will an important parameter for investors Fungibility of Offshore INR bonds with onshore bonds will help induce liquidity
