The Sterlite Convertible deal is nominated for the 'Debt and Equity Linked Deal of the Year'. Luthra & Luthra and S&R take lead amongst the Indian firms.

Competing deals include the Bank of East Asia core capital, Indika senior notes, PRC Rmb bond, Sino-Forest Exchange offer and the Vincom convertible deals.
The Cairn India restructuring is the other India deal that is nominated for the 'Project Finance Deal of the Year'. The deal which saw Amarchand Mangaldas, J. Sagar Associates and Luthra & Luthra among the India firms also saw Herbert Smith and McGrigors acting as international advisors on the deal. The other three nominees include the Paiton 3, Victorian desalination plant and New Bong Escape financing deals.
