Just when everyone wrote him off for his bid for bankrupt mining company Asarco, Vedanta Resources Chairman Anil Agarwal is back with a vengeance.Sterlite Industries, the Vedanta group's flagship, has raised its offer price by a fifth to $2.56 billion to acquire the US copper miner in an all-cash deal -- its third bid in two years. The company on Friday said the modified takeover plan had been submitted to the district court in Texas.
Though the verdict of the bankruptcy court needs final approval from the district court, something that Sterlite is banking on, legal experts said that step was just a formality and nothing more. In its ruling filed late Monday, Judge Richard S Schmidt of the bankruptcy court at Corpus Christi in Texas recommended the district court judge to confirm the Grupo Mexico's plan and reject Asarco's own plan, which is sponsored by the Vedanta group company.
