JSW Steel, REC, PFC, NTPC and HUDCO have cumulatively raised ¥230 billion (about ₹12,650 crore) in yen-denominated debt in the last 1 year
Impact: The appreciation of Yen doesn’t bode well and eventually increases their cost of borrowing.
Imports from Japan or those pay royalties to Japanese companies
Maruti pays 7-8% of its annual income in royalties to Suzuki Motor Corporation, while auto-ancillary firm JTEKT India pays 1.4% to JTEKT Corporation and Lumax Industries 1.5% to Stanley Electric Company.
Pls share the names of the companies or sectors if I’ve missed anything
I am sure these companies have great treasury team and woukd have hedged their exposure. No one will keep open positions when they borrow in fcy. At the least they make a take a small portion on a clean basis. I am sure their auditors would have advised them accordingly. If it is naked position and as these borrowings would be long term they will be forced to make fcy provisions. Also many company borrow in fcy if they have receivables coming in from japan. This offsets the currency conversion
Indian banks offer high yeild deposits to nri by doing forward contracts. They convert inr to usd and place it in higher yeilding deposits and buy forwards so that on maturity the yield is higher than vanilla nre deposits.
In this case maruti would need to pay 8 % on annual turnover in inr.
If currency depreciates suzuki will get lesser jpy. No impact on maruti
