At a time when interest rates have significantly come down, we are able to offer attractive interest rates to retail and high networth individual investors. We look forward for the market accepting the current issue too in line with our previous NCD issues as there are limited comparable investment avenues available.”
The funds raised through this issue will be utilised primarily for lending activities of the company, he said..
