About the Debentures

These NCDs are a way for Edelweiss to borrow money from investors. Investors get to lend money to Edelweiss, and in return, Edelweiss promises to pay them back with interest. The terms of the loan are detailed in the NCD offering, including how much interest they will receive and when they will get it.

Interest Rates and Terms

The interest rates on the NCDs vary depending on how long Edelweiss wants investors to lend them money. Shorter terms (24 or 36 months) have lower interest rates, while longer terms (60 or 120 months) have higher interest rates. Investors can also choose to receive their interest payments annually, monthly, or as a lump sum at the end of the term.

Timeline and Rating

The offering will be open for investors to buy from December 5th, 2025, until December 18th, 2025. A credit rating agency, Crisil, has assessed the NCDs and given them a rating of Crisil A+/Stable. This rating shows that Edelweiss is considered a relatively low-risk borrower.

Investing in debt like NCDs can be a way to earn interest, but it’s important to understand the risks involved.
