Varun Shipping looking to raise $2.5 billion

Indian shipping giant Varun Shipping said it intends to raise $2.5 billion through a sale of shares and a strategic mortgage on assets in order to support its planned acquisitions over the next few years.

   The share sale came to light in a filing Friday with the Bombay Stock Exchange, the Economic Times reported. Varun is proposing to expand its fleet of oil, gas and mineral carrying vessels, as well as seek new opportunities for seabed mining and underwater cable-laying throughout the world.
