FIs LOSE INDAL AS ALCAN TAKES OVER
Article Abstract:
The stake of the three financial institutions (FIs), UTI, LIC and GIC, in Indian Aluminium Company Ltd (Indal) has declined from 36.1 percent to 20.6 percent after Alcan Aluminium Ltd (Alcan) of Canada acquired majority stake in Indal through an open offer. The decline in the stake of FIs below 26 percent means that they can no longer influence any crucial resolutions made by the board of Indal. The open offer of Alcan at Rs200 per share received the response of nearly 47 percent of Indal's shareholders. Alcan has invested Rs285 crore to acquire the additional stake through the open offer.
