The proceeds from the issue would be utilised for financing activities including lending and investments.
Besides, the fund would be used for repaying existing loans and for business operations including capital expenditure and working capital requirements.
JM Financial Institutional Securities and A K Capital Services are the lead managers of the issue, while Integrated Enterprises (India) Ltd is the registrar.
Shriram Transport Finance, a part of the the Shriram group of companies, is into commercial vehicle financing, consumer finance, life and general insurance, stock broking, chit funds and distribution of financial products such as life and general insurance and mutual funds.
