    Essel Group firm Siti Cable Network said its board has approved allotment of securities to promoter firms to raise Rs 830 crore through warrants and optionally fully convertible debentures (OFCDs).

    The board of the company, in a meeting held, approved issue and allotment of warrants worth Rs 349.99 crore.

    The company alloted warrants worth Rs 299.99 crore to Direct Media and Cable Pvt Ltd and Rs 49.99 crore to Arrow Media and Broadband Pvt Ltd.

    Besides, it has also alloted OFCD worth Rs 179.99 crore to Digital Satellite Media and Broadband Pvt Ltd.
