Bajaj Finance Ltd shares fall 3.12% as it allots secured redeemable NCDs on private placement basis
Why did Bajaj Finance Ltd shares fall today?
Bajaj Finance Ltd shares witnessed a decline of 3.12% during Wednesday's trading session. As of 12:46 PM, the stock was trading at ₹927.15, weighed down by fresh borrowing activity reported by the company. The dip in share price comes despite the news being routine corporate disclosure, as investors assessed the implications of a new debt issuance on the company's liability structure.
On October 21, 2026, Bajaj Finance's Debenture Allotment Committee allotted 2,12,000 Secured Redeemable Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) on a private placement basis. Each debenture carries a face value of ₹1 Lakh, taking the total issue size to ₹2,120 crore. These zero coupon debentures have a tenure of 1,826 days, with an allotment date of October 21, 2026 and a maturity date falling on October 21, 2031. The fresh issue has been assigned the ISIN code INE296A07UG8.
The NCDs are proposed to be listed on the Wholesale Debt Market Segment of BSE Limited. While such debt raisings are a regular feature for NBFCs like Bajaj Finance to fund their lending operations, the market sentiment turned cautious as investors weighed the added leverage against current valuation levels, contributing to the intraday weakness in the stock.
