BNP Paribas to buy 5% stake in Srei Infrastructure

In 2008, SREI demerged its infrastructure equipment financing business into a 50:50 Joint Venture Company, Srei Equipment Finance Limited (SEFL), with BNP Paribas Lease Group, a 100% subsidiary of the BNP Paribas Group. This would enable SREI to consolidate 100% of the financial results of the infrastructure equipment finance business.
