The Banking and Securities Management Committee of the company on Wednesday approved to issue secured and listed redeemable bonds at a base issue size of Rs 200 crore, with a green shoe option up to Rs 200 crore, aggregating to Rs 400 crore.
The bonds in the nature of principal protected market-linked non-convertible debentures (PP-MLDs) will be of face value of Rs 10 lakh each, Shriram City Union Finance (SCUF) said in a regulatory filing.
The fundraise comes ahead of the company's merger with group company Shriram Transport Finance Company (STFC), which is expected to be completed by the October-December quarter.
The merged entity will be known as Shriram Finance Ltd and it will become the largest retail non-banking finance company in the country.
The funds will be raised in one or more tranches on a private placement basis.

The principal protected MLDs guarantee that an investor will at least get back the principal amount upon maturity, typically of 13 to 60 months.
