NEW DELHI: Reliance Capital made interest and principal repayments of Rs 72.65 crore on Friday, September 27 and Monday, September 30 on a
range of instruments including non-convertible debentures, term loans and inter-corporate deposits, the firm said today.
Reliance Capital
added that the company was current on all its repayment obligations.
Anil Ambani, Chairman, Reliance ADAG, said that Reliance Capital has
decided it will no longer be in any lending business.
The company also completed 21.54 per cent stake sale in Reliance Nippon Life Asset
Management to Nippon Life Insurance of Japan (Nippon) for Rs 3,030 crore, it said on Friday.
Reliance Capital further plans monetise its
