The company plans to borrow $1.1 billion in five-year loans to replace debt maturing in about two years that has higher interest costs and may obtain another $400 million of new loans, the report said.

Reliance, which has $14.2 billion of debt outstanding maturing through 2097, has not decided the lead arrangers and the banks for the debt syndicate.

Reuters could not reach Reliance for a comment immediately.
