BENGALURU (Reuters) -Indian renewable energy firm ACME Solar Holdings has filed for an initial public offering to raise up to 30 billion rupees (nearly $360 million), draft papers showed on Wednesday.

ACME Solar, which operates solar and wind energy projects, will issue fresh shares worth up to 20 billion rupees, while its largest shareholder ACME Cleantech Solutions will offer shares worth up to 10 billion rupees as part of the IPO.

The proceeds from the sale of new shares will be used to repay borrowings.

As of March-end, the company's annual borrowings stood at 82.17 billion rupees, down 5% from a year earlier.

India is witnessing a boom in the IPO market, and the country is likely to invest around $385 billion to meet its target of 500 gigawatts of renewable energy by 2030, as per Moody's Ratings.

ACME Solar posted a profit of 6.98 billion rupees in the last fiscal year, with its revenue rising by 2%.

Nuvama, ICICI Securities, JM Financial, Kotak Investment Banking and Motilal Oswal Investment Banking are the book-running managers for its IPO.

China's central bank has hundreds of billions of yuan of bonds at its disposal to cool long rally
China's central bank has hundreds of billions of yuan worth of bonds at its disposal to borrow, and will sell them depending on market conditions, the bank told Reuters on Friday, part of a plan markets see as an effort to cool a powerful bond rally. The People's Bank of China (PBOC) will borrow the medium- and long-term bonds on an open-ended unsecured basis and sell them depending on market conditions, as it has signed agreements with several major financial institutions regarding bond borrowing, according to the bank. The official remarks come at a time China's sovereign bonds have performed strongly this year, with yields hitting record lows, as a wobbly economy and volatile stock markets pushed savers into fixed-income safe haven investments.
