Vedanta puts in expression of interest to buy govt’s entire stake in BPCL
New Delhi: Vedanta Group on Wednesday confirmed putting in a preliminary expression of interest (EoI) for buying government’s nearly 53% stake in privatisation-bound Bharat Petroleum Corp Ltd (BPCL).
Vedanta’s interest in India’s second largest fuel retailer is because of synergies with its existing oil and gas business.
The government is selling its entire 52.98 per cent stake in BPCL and last date of putting EoI was 16 November.
