The joint venture between Reliance Capital and Japan's Nippon Life Insurance Company Ltd. will offer around 6.12 crore equity shares at Rs 247-252 apiece. Reliance Capital will offload shares worth Rs 283 crore while Singapore government's investment fund Temasek's arm V-Sciences Investments Pte Ltd. will sell Rs 642-crore stake.
