TOKYO, Sept 17 (Reuters) - The Tokyo Stock Exchange said on Wednesday it would halt trading in shares of truck maker Nissan Diesel Motor Co Ltd , after the Nihon Keizai daily said major lenders were considering extending it 100 billion yen ($860 million) in financial aid.
The newspaper said the package, which would be led by Mizuho Financial Group Inc's Mizuho Corporate Bank, would consist mainly of debt-for-equity swaps and would reduce the struggling truck maker's 390 billion yen debt burden by around 25 percent.
The TSE halted trade in Nissan Diesel from 2320 GMT to investigate the report. ($1=116.20 yen)
