It is planning to garner up to Rs 75 cr through secured, redeemable, NCDs

Srei Infrastructure Finance Ltd has sought market regulator Sebi's approval to raise up to Rs 150 crore through issue of non-convertible debentures (NCDs).

"The funds will be used for our various financing activities, to repay our existing loans and our business operations including for our capital expenditure and working capital requirements," Srei Infrastructure said.
