JK Cement is planning to raise up to Rs 500 crore via non-convertible debentures (NCDs) on a private placement basis in one or more tranches. The company's board has recommended the proposal in this regard for approval of shareholders in the next AGM of the company. The fund raising will be at an interest rate that will be determined by the prevailing money market conditions at the time of borrowing.
JK Cement is one of the largest cement manufacturers in north India. It is also second largest producer of white cement in India. The company exports white cement to countries like South Africa, Nigeria, Singapore, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, UAE and Nepal.
