NTPC Ltd's bond issue was oversubscribed 2.8 times in just 10 minutes on Monday May 02,2016 after hitting the market, raising a total of Rs. 1,000 crore, which would be used for capital expenditure.

"NTPC's bond issue oversubscribed by 2.8 times in 10 minutes today," the company said in a statement.

The company had called for offers to subscribe to its 60th series of non-convertible debentures (NCDs) for an amount of Rs. 500 crore with a greenshoe option of another Rs. 500 crore on a private placement basis.

According to the statement, bids amounting to Rs. 1,400 crore were received from 17 applicants.

Finally, nine arrangers were allocated Rs. 1,000 crore based on their offers, the company added.

Under a greenshoe option, a company can sell more shares or bonds than originally planned by the issuer. This is done if the demand for an issue proves to be higher than expected.

The proceeds of the issue will be utilized for capital expenditure, it added.
