MUMBAI, July 23 (Reuters) - India's Embassy Office Parks REIT EMBA.NS has accepted bids worth 20 billion rupees ($231.5 million) for bonds maturing in 10 years, three merchant bankers said on Wednesday.
The real estate investment trust will pay a coupon of 7.25%, which would be payable on a quarterly basis, the bankers said.
The issue will have a put option at the end of five years, and the current pricing is reflective of a five-year debt issue, one of the bankers added.
