Liquidity issues

According to Hemant Kanoria, Chairman, Srei, the ongoing liquidity conundrum for the entire NBFC sector is going to be momentary.

The company had recently announced that it would consolidate the lending business of Srei Infrastructure and Srei Equipment into one entity.

The revised corporate structure will enable the companies and their management to focus on specific areas of their expertise and result in value creation for all stakeholders, said a press statement issued by Srei.
