India's Shapoorji Pallonji (SP) Group is exploring a dollar-rupee debt route to secure fresh funding from global and US investors, according to people familiar with the matter. The transaction would replicate a debut $650 million debt sale executed through its unit Mercury Finance, where dollar proceeds were invested in rupee bonds issued by Eqyizen Investment. The group plans to exercise a greenshoe option to raise additional funds to manage high-interest debt maturing over the next few years, aided by improved debt outlooks following proposals to monetize a portion of its stake in Tata Sons.
