Ujjivan Financial to raise Rs 175 crore on pvt placement

Ujjivan Financial Services will raise Rs 175 crore by issuing bonds on private placement basis.

"The Stakeholders Relationship Committee of the Board of the meeting held today approved the issue and allotment on a private placement basis 1,750 unsecured, redeemable, taxable non-convertible debentures bearing face value of Rs 10 lakh each aggregating to Rs 175 crore," the company said in regulatory filing.
