Tata Steel to raise Bhushan steel stake to 75%, to acquire additional 2.5%

Tata Steel’s subsidiary Bamnipal Steel had acquired 72.65 per cent stake in Bhushan Steel in May this year after the company failed to repay its Rs 560 billion in debts.

Stock Market News » Tata Steel plans to buy an additional 2.5 per cent stake in Bhushan Steel from lenders, taking its stake from 72.65 per cent to over 75 per cent. This would make merger with Bhushan Steel easier.

Lenders have given the green light to the merger of Bhushan Steel with Tata Steel in the current fiscal year itself. “Indian banks hold more than half of the minority-held shares, and hence the voting on merger resolution would be a smooth affair,” said a banking source.
