The first international bank loan for Adani Ports became possible through a $150 million funding from Singapore’s DBS Group after legal disputes were resolved. The four-year financing will help Adani meet its capital expenditure requirements and marks a key milestone in rebuilding international investor confidence.
The US Department of Justice filed bribery-related charges against the group during November. The current market developments show positive changes in lender attitudes toward Adani Ports since the company operates logistics and ports alongside infrastructure and energy businesses. The loan carries a 200 basis point premium above SOFR which makes the total expense including hedging costs reach 5.5%.
The company maintains its expansion plans for future development. The Adani Group issued $750 million in offshore bonds for construction company acquisitions before this announcement while BlackRock acquired one-third of the total issuance. The airport business of the group conducts loan discussions with Barclays and First Abu Dhabi Bank and Standard Chartered to obtain $750 million.
The international financial sector demonstrates growing interest in Adani Ports following the company’s Q4 FY25 net profit increase of 47.8% to ₹3,014.22 crore which surpassed market expectations. The company achieved operational revenue growth of 23.1% to ₹8,488.44 crore while its cargo volumes expanded 8% because of rising container traffic.
The DBS loan indicates that the market has developed trust in the Adani Group despite ongoing legal issues while the company expands its global reach through Adani Ports.
