India to cut stake in steelmaker SAIL: Report
India's steel ministry has approved a plan to sell shares in state-run Steel Authority of India Ltd (SAIL) to help fund the firm's
expansion and cut the government deficit.
The two-phased sale would be a mix of a government stake sale and an issue of fresh shares by the company, Dow Jones Newswires reported Tuesday, quoting an unidentified senior steel ministry official. "We plan to seek the cabinet's nod for it in over a month's time," the official said.
The report comes as the government considers minority stake sales in various state-run firms, from NTPC, India's biggest thermal power generating company, to miner Manganese Ore India, to raise funds to cut the hefty fiscal deficit.
The stake sale and issue of fresh shares in SAIL, India's largest steel producer by volume, would cut the government's holding to around 68 percent from 85.82 percent.
In the first phase, the government would sell five percent of its shareholding while SAIL will issue an additional five percent equity, the report said. The government plans to sell a total of 10 percent of its holding, while the company is expected to issue additional shares worth 10 percent of the expanded equity base, the official said.
The amount of money to be raised from the share sale would be fixed after cabinet gave its approval, said the official. The timing of the share sale would be announced later.
SAIL plans to raise its annual hot metal production capacity to 23.5 million metric tonnes by the financial year ending March 2012 from the current 14.6 million tonnes.
The steel ministry official said SAIL will use the share sale money to partly fund its expansion.

Oil steadies after 1-year high above $79

Oil prices steadied after hitting a fresh 12-month high above $79 a barrel on Monday, taking a break from seven straight sessions of gains to see if corporate results continue to point to a strong global economic recovery.
U.S. earnings results could again be a key driver of oil prices this week with a spate of earnings from bellwethers including Apple Inc and Caterpillar Inc, after strong results lifted commodities across the board last week.
On Friday weak numbers from General Electric and Bank of America again clouded the economic outlook and may spur profit taking from oil's recent rally.
U.S. crude for November delivery touched a fresh high of $79.05 in early trading, but pared some gains to be up 4 cents at $78.57 a barrel .
London Brent crude crept up 6 cents to $77.05.
