State-run Rural Electrification Corporation (REC) today said it has received shareholder's nod to raise Rs 50,000 crore by issuing non-convertible debentures (NCDs).
Shareholders approved the special resolution in the annual general meeting held on September 21,2016, for raising up to Rs 50,000 crore through issuance of unsecured/secured non-convertible bonds/debentures via private placement during a period of one year from the date of passing of the proposal, the company said in a BSE filing.
