New Delhi, October, 2025.
Signature
Global (India) Ltd., one of India’s leading real estate developers, today
announced that it has raised INR 8.75 billion through a private placement of
Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) to International Finance Corporation (IFC), a
member of the World Bank Group.
Signature
Global will utilise the proceeds to develop mid-income and sustainable housing
projects. A portion will also be utilised to reduce existing debt.
The
NCDs, assigned ‘A+’ ratings by CareEdge Ratings, have already been listed on
BSE and mark the first-ever listed debt transaction of Signature Global,
strengthening the company’s capital market presence.
The
tenure of the NCDs is 3 years, 2 months and 30 days. The NCDs will mature on
January 15, 2029.
Throwing light on the maiden debt
raising exercise, Mr. Pradeep Aggarwal,
Founder & Chairman, Signature Global (India) Ltd., said, “Ever since
our inception, we have focused on key pillars of customer satisfaction,
delivery and transparency. The faith reposed in us by an institution of repute
like IFC is a testimony to our approach and direction. We are indeed grateful
to IFC for their confidence in Signature Global Group. As an environmentally
conscious developer, Signature Global is committed to delivering high-quality,
sustainable mid-income housing projects, and to implementing robust ESG standards
across all future projects.”
India’s rapid urbanization presents
an opportunity to increase critical access to quality housing. It is estimated
that Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities alone will require 18 million additional units,
with projections for a further 3 million needed between 2022 and 2027.
Commenting on the investment, Mr. Imad N. Fakhoury, IFC Regional
Division Director for South Asia, said,“Housing is a fundamental pillar for
India’s progress, and expanding access is both an opportunity and an imperative
for inclusive growth. Through IFC’s investment in the Daxin project of
Signature Global, a long-standing partner, we aim to deliver high-quality,
mid-income homes for families who need them most. In addition to supporting job
creation and market competitiveness, this partnership will also help advance
the company’s sustainability strategy. Together, we are contributing to
stronger urban infrastructure and building resilient communities in India’s
fast-growing cities.”
IFC will provide GRIP (Greening Real
Estate Investment Portfolios) advisory support to improve and enhance the
company’s overall sustainability strategy, and will help reach EDGE (Excellence
in Design for Greater Efficiencies) Advanced certification – supported by the
European Union under the Accelerating Climate-Smart and Inclusive
Infrastructure in South Asia program – for the Daxin project. With a total of
17 projects now EDGE certified, Signature Global ranks among the highest in
India’s real estate industry for green building commitments. The company’s ESG
commitments were recently recognised by the Global Real Estate Sustainability
Benchmark (GRESB), where it scored 84 on its debut, placing the company among
the top-performing first-time participants globally.
In FY 2024-25, the company ranked as
the fifth-largest listed real estate developer based on sales bookings. It
achieved pre-sales of INR 102.9 billion in the previous fiscal and is targeting
INR 125 billion in the current financial year.
As of Q1FY26, the company
has a robust project pipeline of 17.1 million sq. ft. of recently launched
projects, and 9.2 million sq. ft. of ongoing projects. The company has 24.5
million sq. ft. of forthcoming developments slated for completion over the next
2-3 years.
