Tata Motors plans to raise up to Rs 500 crore via NCDs

New Delhi: Tata Motors on Friday said a committee of the board will meet next week to consider raising Rs 500 crore through non-convertible debentures (NCDs).

"The company is desirous of offering the eighth series of its rated, listed, unsecured, redeemable NCDs aggregating to Rs 500 crore," the Mumbai-based auto major said in a regulatory filing.
