What are NCDs?

Companies use non-convertible debentures to raise long-term capital for their business. In simple words, it is like a loan that the company borrows from the public which it will return with interest. These come with a fixed interest rate and tenure. It is like a fixed deposit with a bank in a way, but less secure.

Why is it called Non-Convertible?

Companies give the option to convert debentures issued into shares after a certain time to the owners of these debentures. NCDs do not come with this option. Further, these are divided as secured and unsecured NCDs. Secured NCDs are backed by the company’s assets and unsecured ones are not. The unsecured ones are paid a higher interest rate because they hold higher risk.
