Balkrishna Industries Limited reported ₹1,500 crore in outstanding debt securities as on September 30, 2026. The filing details a mix of commercial paper and non-convertible debentures issued across two distinct tranches earlier this fiscal year.

The company’s debt portfolio comprises ₹200 crore in commercial paper maturing in December 2026 and ₹1,300 crore in unsecured non-convertible debentures (NCDs) with maturities extending through 2031. All securities are rated and listed, with coupon rates varying between 6.33% and 7.55% per annum.

Debt structure and maturity profile

The outstanding debt is split between short-term commercial paper and medium-to-long-term NCDs. The commercial paper, issued on September 25, 2026, carries a 6.33% annual coupon with a 90-day payment frequency. The NCDs were issued in two separate lots: one in March 2026 and another in September 2026.

What the numbers show

A clear tiering of interest costs is visible across the debt stack. The short-term commercial paper carries the lowest cost at 6.33%, reflecting its brief tenor. In contrast, the longest-dated NCDs (maturing in 2031) command the highest premium at 7.55%. Notably, the September 2026 NCD issuance shows a tighter spread between series compared to the March lot, with coupons clustering between 7.35% and 7.40%, suggesting a slight stabilization in borrowing costs for similar tenors over the six-month period.

The entire ₹1,500 crore amount issued remains fully outstanding as of the reporting date, indicating no early redemptions or partial repayments during the half-yearly period covered by the statement.
