The Board of Directors, at its meeting, has, “given its in-principle approval for raising funds by way of issuance of equity shares and/or any other eligible securities (convertible/nonconvertible) through permissible modes in one or more tranches”, it added.
The company said that fund-raise will enable it to enhance its strategic flexibility to pursue future growth opportunities in the evolving media landscape.
The approval for fundraising came after Sony cancelled its $10 billion merger in January with Zee.
Zee has since then announced several measures to reduce costs amid restructuring exercise, including cutting its workforce.
