Japan's Nippon Life Insurance Co plans to invest about Rs 1,450 crore in Reliance Capital Asset Management, the fund management unit of Reliance Capital , the Nikkei newspaper reported on Thursday.

Nippon Life has agreed to buy a 26% stake in the Reliance Capital subsidiary and the Japanese company will announce the investment later in the day, the paper said, citing unnamed sources.

A Reliance Capital spokesman in Mumbai did not respond to phone calls by Reuters seeking comment.

Reliance Capital, controlled by billionaire Anil Ambani, agreed in March last year to sell a 26% stake in its life insurance business to Nippon Life for $680 million, valuing the business at $2.6 billion.
