Centre wants PSU control of Petronet, IGL to stay after BPCL open offer

The government may ask public sector promoters of IGL NSE -0.05 % and Petronet LNG NSE 0.63 % to make open offers to the minority shareholders of these companies either in concert or in competition with the strategic buyer of BPCL NSE 0.12 % to ensure state companies do not lose control of gas firms, said people familiar with the matter.
