Sugar manufacturer Shree Renuka Sugars is looking to raise around $250-350 million (Rs 1,350-1,925 crore) through a bond sale through its Brazilian subsidiary, Renuka Do Brasil S/A. These bonds will carry a guarantee from the listed Indian parent. The company targets raising around $250 million with an upside of another $100 million. Last year, the company failed to raise money from Brazilian sugar manufacturer ETH Bioenergia, owned by three partners, namely, PE fund Ashmore, Brazilian Brandes Bank and Brazilian conglomerate Odebrecht, by selling stake in the Brazilian company. However, the talks fell through due to valuation mismatches. Credit Suisse's Brazil arm is said to be advising the company on the bond sale. (The Economic Times)
