Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) may acquire the government’s 51.11% stake in Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HPCL). This will be followed up with an open offer to acquire additional 26% from other shareholders of HPCL. The deal for the 77.11% stake would be worth Rs 44,000 crore or around $6.6 billion at current market prices.
