Oil Ministry has asked Oil and Natural Gas Corp (ONGC), Oil India (OIL) and Gail to cobble up a joint bid to counter Vedanta Resources’ $8.48 billion offer for majority stake in Cairn
The three firms have held informal talks on the joint bid even as the ministry is looking at legal options to deny Vedanta the approval necessary for conclusion of its deal with
Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse and UBS, the only three leading bankers who are not in conflict with the Vedanta-Cairn Energy deal, may be advising ONGC on the counter-bid. ONGC is the leader of the consortium with at least 50 per cent share. OIL and Gail will each be 20-25 per cent partners. According to sources, Oil Ministry is against Vedanta acquiring Cairn’s stake because it is a non-oil company. crackcrack
