The transaction was priced on August 6, 2026 at 5:45 p.m.
The notes were issued under the bank's USD 7.5 billion Global Medium Term Note Programme as a Regulation S drawdown, meaning they are being offered outside the United States to non-U.S. persons (6-K filing, 2026-08-07).

The securities are unsecured and rank as senior obligations of the issuer. The net proceeds will be used "for its general corporate purposes in accordance with relevant regulatory guidelines," according to the filing (6-K filing, 2026-08-07).
ICICI Bank has proposed listing the notes on the Global Securities Market of the India International Exchange IFSC Limited and the Debt Securities Market of the NSE IFSC Limited (6-K filing, 2026-08-07).
IFSC Banking Unit Structure
The transaction was executed through ICICI Bank's IFSC Banking Unit, a specialized branch structure that allows Indian banks to conduct international banking operations from India's International Financial Services Centre in Gujarat. This structure provides regulatory and tax advantages for cross-border transactions while keeping operations within Indian jurisdiction.
The filing confirmed no delays or defaults in payment of interest or principal, no special rights or privileges attached to the instrument, and no cancellations or terminations of the securities proposal (6-K filing, 2026-08-07).

The bond pricing comes ahead of several key corporate events for ICICI Bank. The bank is scheduled to present at the EMKAY Confluence 2026 Annual Investor Conference on August 12, 2026, according to MarginX data. The bank's Annual General Meeting is set for August 21, 2026, followed by a shareholder and analyst call the same day.
