RIL closes in on overseas buy

15 Oct 2009 Evaluate

Reliance Industries, India’s biggest refiner, may buy a refinery or a chemicals unit before the end of the year in the US or Europe as it attempts to buy up inexpensive assets and catch up with rivals Essar, who are aggressively bidding for global capacities despite lagging behind Reliance locally.

The RIL overseas acquisition buzz started getting louder last month when it raised Rs 3,188 crore by selling its treasury shares. Also, India’s second-biggest private oil refiner Essar Oil has bid to acquire UK’s largest oil refinery, operated by The Royal Dutch Shell. The Ruia’s run Essar also brought a 50% stake in Kenya’s oldest oil refinery in Mombassa for an undisclosed amount, even as one of Reliance’s unit in Europe went bankrupt.

The targets for Reliance may be many. Assets of Italy’s Eni, US’s Valero Energy Corporation and Sunoco, Royal Dutch Shell’s Stanlow, Harburg and Heide refineries, the Grangemouth refinery operated by British chemicals maker Ineos, and Swissbased Petroplus’s UK refinery could be some of the targets.
