India's JSW Paints is likely to raise funds through issuance of bonds maturing in four years and five years and should go ahead with the sale in the next couple of weeks, two merchant bankers with direct knowledge of the matter said on Thursday.
The company could look to raise around 30 billion rupees ($316.56 million), the bankers said.
