Last month, the government has opposed Vedanta Ltd’s proposal to sell its international zinc business to Hindustan Zinc Ltd for $2.98 billion over concerns of valuation.

The government has threatened to take legal action to stop the sale of the Africa-based assets to HZL, in which it holds a 29.54 per cent stake.

HZL, in January, agreed to buy THL Zinc Ltd Mauritius from its parent, Vedanta Ltd, for $2.98 billion in phases over 18 months.

The Rajasthan-based company has long been a cash cow for Agarwal’s Vedanta group, squeezing out rich dividends. The latest proposed transaction is being seen as another way of extracting more funds out of HZL.
