Reliance Infra Board To Meet On Sept. 19 To Discuss Fundraising

The board of Reliance Infrastructure Ltd will meet on Sept. 19 to consider a preferential issue of shares to raise funds, the firm said in a stock exchange filing on Monday.

In the filing, the firm said its board on Sept. 19 will "consider and approve raising of long term resources from domestic and/or global markets, inter alia, by issue of equity shares/ equity linked securities/ warrants convertible into equity shares, by way of preferential issue and/ or qualified institutional placement and/or rights issue or any other method including determination of issue price".

It, however, did not disclose the amount the firm was looking to raise.
