Mark ab Capital, a West Asia focused multi family office and merchant bank, has invested Rs 350 crore in equity of Shriram EPC (SEPC), which is focused on providing turnkey solutions. The Dubai-based company has bought 26.48 per cent stake in SEPC with this deal and has become its promoter.

This is part of restructuring of SEPC under the stressed asset provisions of the Reserve bank of India. “The existing promoter (SVL Limited ) will cease to be a promoter. As part of the restructuring, the consortium of bankers have converted part of their debt into CCDs and NCDs,” said a source.

The Board of SEPC has been reconstituted and N K Suryanarayana was appointed as the managing director.  According to T Shivaraman, former managing director and chief executive officer of SEPC, the company has a regular debt of around Rs 200 crore and another Rs 350 crore as debentures. He added that with this Mark AB intends to grow the EPC business both in India and the broader region tapping into the opportunities in the infrastructure space.

Mark AB capital is a leading investment company headquartered out of Dubai and has over $1 billion worth of assets under management.
