Article Abstract:
Alcan of Canada acquired a majority control in Indian Aluminium Company (Indal) by increasing its holding to 54.6 percent from 34.6 percent on June 2, 1998. Indal's shares were acquired in the open market for Rs200 per share. Alcan got a 40 percent response to its open offer, including 36.1 percent from financial institutions (FIs). Since the Foreign Investment Promotion Board had given Alcan permission to acquire 20 percent stake in Indal, the FIs will tender their shares proportionately. (khr)
