MUMBAI, Oct 26 (Reuters) - India's Jamnagar Utilities & Power, a unit of Reliance Industries Holdings, is likely to raise up to 20 billion rupees ($240.30 million) through shorter-duration bonds, two merchant bankers said on Thursday.

"The company is looking to raise 10-20 billion rupees via bonds maturing in three to five years and is in discussion with bankers," one of the bankers said.

Jamnagar Utilities is likely to tap the bond market by December, bankers added.

The company is yet to officially announce the bond issue and did not reply to a Reuters email seeking comment.

The outstanding bonds of the company are rated AAA by Crisil and Care Ratings, and they continue to take comfort from the strong operational links with Reliance Industries.

The company, which operates coal-based and gas-based power plants in Jamnagar in the western Indian state of Gujarat, had last raised 33.50 billion rupees through the sale of five-year bonds at an annual coupon of 7.90% in August.

MUMBAI, Oct 12 (Reuters) - DME Development, a unit of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), is looking to tap the bond market for the first time this financial year, two merchant bankers said on Thursday.

The company aims to raise around 30 billion rupees ($360.74 million) through the sale of 10-year bonds and may look to invite bids for the issue later this month, the bankers said.

The bonds are rated AAA by Crisil and CARE Ratings.

DME is yet to make an official announcement, and NHAI did not immediately respond to a Reuters email seeking comment.

DME is a special-purpose vehicle created by the NHAI in August 2020 for the construction of the greenfield Delhi-Mumbai Expressway that passes through the states of Delhi, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and Maharashtra.

April 20 (Reuters) - India's market regulator on Thursday barred the former chief executive of Care Ratings Ltd CREI.NS from the securities market for two years for violation of rules.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), in its order, said that Rajesh Mokashi, the former managing director and chief executive of Care, interfered in the rating committee decision while it rated instruments issued by Yes Bank YESB.NS, Dewan Housing and Finance Ltd DWNH.M3, now known as Piramal Capital and Housing Finance Ltd, and Infrastructure and Financial Services Ltd, a unit of Infrastructure Leasing & Financial Services Ltd INFU_pb.BO.

The regulator said that Mokashi was only "paying performative obeisance" to the regulatory mandate by not being part of the rating committees but was still interfering in rating decisions. The law does not permit the management of a rating firm to be part of the rating committee.

Mokashi cannot be a part of any market intermediary for two years, SEBI ruled.
