Sesa Goa, Sterlite merger gets Madras High Court nod
PTI
  

NEW DELHI, JULY 25:  
The proposed merger between Sesa Goa and Sterlite Industries, aimed at creating 
a mega natural resources firm from India, has moved a step closer towards 
realisation with the nod from the Madras High Court today.
“The proposed merger of Sterlite and Sesa Goa and Vedanta Group Consolidation 
has received the approval of the High Court of Madras on July 25, 2013 and the 
approval of the High Court of Bombay at Goa on April 3, 2013,” Sterlite said in 
a statement.
As per the merger scheme, Sterlite will be merged into Sesa Goa and a new 
entity Sesa Sterlite will be created post merger. All other subsidiaries of 
Vedanta, except Konkola Copper Mines, would be controlled by Sesa Sterlite 
after completion of the process.
The merger would create seventh largest natural resources company of the world 
(in terms of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) 
and a cost saving of Rs 1,000 crore annually, Vedanta had said earlier.
The merger scheme has already been approved by most of the regulatory 
authorities, including Goa Bench of the Bombay High Court, the Competition 
Commission of India, BSE and NSE.
Shareholders of Sterlite and Sesa Goa have already given their approval in 
June, 2012.
A glitch in realising the merger is a review petition filed by a shareholder of 
Sesa Goa in the Bombay High Court, challenging the court order.
However, Sterlite said “hearing before the Division Bench (of Bombay High Court 
at Goa) has been completed and the order of the Division Bench is awaited.”
Post merger, Vedanta would hold 58.3 per cent stake in Sesa Sterlite. As per 
the scheme of arrangements, Sterlite shareholders would get three shares of 
Sesa Goa for every five shares held according to the swap ratio.
This is second restructuring exercise being attempted by Vedanta Resources as 
the first one in 2008 had failed due to objections raised by some minority 
shareholders over valuation of a group firm, Konkola Copper Mines.

Cairn India, Hindustan Zinc, Balco, Vedanta Aluminium, Madras Aluminium, 
Talwandi Sabo Power and Australian Copper Mines will become subsidiaries of 
Sesa Sterlite after the restructuring.
The restructuring would lead to Vedanta’s debt burden on a standalone basis 
falling to around $3.8 billion.However, Sesa Sterlite, the new entity, would 
end up with a total debt of about $14 billion.

Shares of Sesa Goa fell by 2.24 per cent to close at 139.95 apiece on the BSE 
and the Sterlite scrip closed down 2.07 per cent at Rs 80.30.

undue favours received legally? Is it not a fact that the mines of Sesa are
situated in BJP dominated areas ? what better way to appease than to get
their support and understanding? Why at all the share holders acquiesce to
huge amounts? In what way SESA benefited to show such gratitude Of course
political donations are  perfectly legal and are a norm of the democratic

to covertly hide behind the cloak of secrecy  Mr Parikar the PAC chairman

constituencies have simultaneously and surreptitiously benefited like wise
This wild speculations is logical under circumstances. The PAC report not
admitted by the speaker , it is believed is practically silent on the
affairs of Sesa, as every thing is legal and transparent on the documents
per se.
The discriminatory donations to the various party is a clear pointer of

Sesa Goa gets stay order from Delhi HC against Bellary sell-off

NEW DELHI: Vedanta Group firm Sesa Goa has secured a stay order from
the Delhi High Court against the decision taken by Industrial
Financial Corporation of India on Bellary Steel sell-off in which JSW
Steel was declared the highest bidder.

Our dispute is against the process followed by IFCI in the bidding.
We have already taken up the matter with the Delhi High Court, which
stayed the sale (order) last week, Sesa Goa's Managing Director P K
Mukherjee told PTI yesterday.

Last month, a consortium of lenders led by IFCI had declared JSW Steel
as the highest bidder for acquiring the assets of Bellary Steel and
Alloys (BSAL), where Sesa Goa was the only other qualified contender.

Our dispute is with the process... We were the only qualified bidder
initially and declared successful bidder verbally. Our people were
told to come after lunch to collect the allotment letter.

When we came back after lunch, we were told that there is another
bidder and that bid is only marginally higher than our price,
Mukherjee said.

While Sesa Goa's bid was at Rs 206 crore, slightly more than the
reserve price of Rs 205.63 crore, JSW quoted Rs 210 crore for the
assets of Karnataka-based company.

The stay order came after we filed a petition and next hearing will
be in mid-February, Mukherjee said, while clarifying that Sesa Goa
does not have any issues against JSW Steel.

We have no problems with JSW at all... Our dispute is with the
process, which IFCI followed, Mukherjee said.

According to the Delhi High Court website, next hearing has been
scheduled on February 22 on the matter.

Headquartered in Bangalore, Bellary Steel and Alloys (BSAL) was
promoted by S Madhav and S Parvathi, both from the South, according to
its website.

The company had embarked upon setting up an integrated steel plant,
with five lakh tonnes per annum capacity and a provision of taking it
to 2 million tonnes, at Bellary -- the place in Karnataka where JSW
has its 7.8 mtpa plant.

However, BSAL, whose biggest asset is 700 acres of freehold land,
could not complete the project and ran into debt.

Thereafter, lenders consortium led by IFCI decided to go for sale of
the company assets.

Bellary Steel is one such asset which is having land at its disposal
and it has got all the approvals for 0.5 million tonne capacity. It
will be a good opportunity for us to step in as we are already present
in Karnataka through our mining operations, Mukherjee said.

According to the tender document, inter-se bidding was to be conducted
among the eligible bidders and highest bidder was to be declared
successful. However, IFCI officials could not be reached for their
comments.

[Goanet] Sesa Goa: Sharp iron ore price rise augurs well for company

Sesa Goa: Sharp iron ore price rise augurs well for company

Sesa Goa, a dominant player in the iron ore and allied commodities
segment, benefited from a sharp rise in iron ore prices during the
quarter to December 2010.

Global iron ore traded at an average price of $160 per tonne in the
third quarter, a nearly three-fifth jump compared with a year ago, and
that helped Sesa Goa offset the fall in the commodity's sales volume.
Iron ore is a key input for the steel industry. The company's
consolidated revenue rose 20% year-on-year to 2,250 crore in the
quarter, but that could not prevent a 700 basis points fall in its
operating profit margin to 55%. Also, the 20.6% year-on-year fall in
iron ore volumes sold resulted in the slowest growth in quarterly net
sales during the current financial year.

Sesa Goa also had to grapple with a higher cost structure, like
logistics at its mines in Goa, and that led to a fall in its operating
margins. The company's iron ore output in the quarter was also
curtailed due to unprecedented monsoons in Goa last year. However,
higher realisations helped net profit rise 29% year-on-year during the
third quarter to 1,065.3 crore. The results were declared after the
close of Monday trade, and on Tuesday, the stock ended 1.3% lower at
326. Global iron ore prices have gone up further over the last few
weeks and reports indicate spot prices at close to $ 180 per tonne
levels. The current price is not too far from the all-time high of $
200 per tonne seen in early 2008, say analysts.

The rise in iron ore prices comes when demand from the steel industry
in emerging markets has been strong and flooding is likely to disrupt
supplies from Australia in the short term. Media reports indicate that
global suppliers of iron ore are shifting to more short-term, monthly
contracts compared with the traditional quarterly contracts, to get
better realisations. This positive outlook for iron ore prices should
help drive realisations and net profit at Sesa Goa over the next few
quarters.

Sesa Goa trades at a P/E of seven times on a trailing four-quarter
basis. Given the buoyancy in iron prices, the stock still looks
attractively priced.


[Goanet] Sesa Goa shareholder moves SC against Cairn deal

Sesa profits are mostly earned in Goa and by just digging and hauling resources 
from the Mother Earth. Several opinions have been expressed that the ore 
belongs to Goan people and therefore the benefits must go to Goans. The profits 
earned by Sesa are now being used to satiate the ego of a non-Goan individual, 
who wants to pride that he has oil drilling under his belt. Atleast if the 
money was invested in industry in Goa, it would have generated employment in 
Goa. Incidentally, 700 Goan engineers pass out every year. Of these, hrdly 100 
get placed in Goa. Remaining are forced to migrate to Bangalore, Pune etc. 

In response to Economic Times news: Sesa Goa has cash reserve of Rs 7,835 crore

Sesa Goa tumbles as Govt reverses earlier nod

Equity increase seen as earnings-dilutive

Brakes: Less than a week after Vedanta University's environmental
clearance was put onhold, the Centre has suspended the environmental
clearance issued to another Vedantagroup company for an iron ore mine
in North Goa.

Our Bureau

Kolkata, May 18

Sesa Goa on Tuesday declined by over 5 per cent to close at Rs 369.

According to market sources, suspension of environmental clearance by
the Ministry of Environment and Forests for one of its unexplored
mines in Goa on Monday and an equity increase by the company through
conversion of foreign currency convertible bond (FCCB) had their
impact on the stock price.

Some 22 lakh shares changed hands on the BSE on Tuesday.


The Ministry's action came after the National Environment Appellate
Authority ordered suspension until a visit of an environmental
appraisal committee and examination of the reasons for local
opposition to the mines and the impact on agriculture, health and
environmental conditions.

The proposal for iron ore mining ore was cleared by the Ministry in
June last year.

According to the Ministry, the proposed mine at two villages in North
Goa on a lease area of 43 hectares was for open cast mining of 0.20
million tonnes of ore per annum.

The total deposits were estimated at 0.95 million tonnes and the life
of the mine was projected to be 12 years. The cost of the project,
including a pelletisation plant, was estimated to be Rs 350 crore.

FCCB CONVERSION

On Monday, the company allotted fresh shares on conversion of FCCBs.

The enlargement of paidup equity share capital of the company is
earnings-dilutive. So it also had its impact on the stock price on
Tuesday, said a dealer.

Analysts said the suspended environmental clearance has less to do
with the company financial position than the sentiment.

The company, which is part of the Vedanta group, appears to be
gathering an antipeople image wherever it proposed mining projects in
the country, said an analyst with an investment advisory.

Sesa Goa Gets Probe Notice from Fraud Investigation Agency

NEW DELHI -- Sesa Goa Ltd., a unit of Vedanta Resources Plc, said
Thursday it has received a notice from India's federal fraud
investigation agency for a probe into its finances and management
between 2001 and 2009.

The scope of investigation includes looking into the state of affairs
of the company... in respect of mismanagement, malpractices, financial
and other irregularities, Sesa Goa said in a statement to the Bombay
Stock Exchange.

Sesa Goa, India's second-largest iron ore miner by sales, said it will
fully cooperate with the investigation.

It didn't say when the probe would begin, but the Serious Fraud
Investigation Office said the investigation will be completed in the
next six months.

Sesa Goa said the order for the investigation may have originated from
a shareholder complaint in 2003 before Sesa Goa was acquired by
Vedanta.

SFIO probes Sesa Goa for financial fraud

The government has ordered the Serious Fraud Investigation Office, to
probe into mismanagement and financial irregularities in Vedanta
Group-owned Sesa Goa [ Get Quote ] and its subsidiary Sesa Industries
(SIL), the company said on Thursday.

The scope of SFIO investigation include looking into the state of
affairs of the company and its subsidiary Sesa Industries Ltd, in
respect of mismanagement, malpractices, financial and other
irregularities, Sesa Goa said in a filing to the Bombay Stock
Exchange [ Images ].

The SFIO enquiry, to be completed in six months, follows a probe by
registrar of companies which was looking into Sesa Goa's case since
2003.

The company... has received request from the RoC for information for
the period from 2001 to 2009, the statement said, adding it also
received an intimation for the SFIO probe from the Ministry of
Corporate Affairs yesterday.

Clarifying its position, Sesa Goa said, the company believes that the
investigation originates from the complaints filed by one of the
shareholders of SIL against SIL, the company and the directors in
2003, prior to the acquisition of the company by Vedanta in April
2007.

The company added it will fully cooperate with the investigation and
expressed its commitment to follow the highest norms for corporate
governance and transparency.

Following the announcement, Sesa Goa shares fell as much as six per
cent in morning trade on the BSE. It was trading down 1.69 per cent in
the afternoon session.

Allegations against the company, official sources said, also include
diversion of funds. The RoC had submitted its report on Sesa Goa early
last week.

On Wednesday, Corporate Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid had termed
the inspection as a normal procedure and said, These inspections
are procedures that have to be followed before taking a final
decision.

Meanwhile, another case pertaining to merger of Sesa Goa, the
country's leading iron ore producer, with its subsidiary Sesa
Industries is pending before the Supreme Court.

The London-based Vedanta Resources in 2007 had acquired a 51 per cent
controlling stake in Sesa Goa from Mitsui Co, for $981 million.

India's largest iron-ore exporter said on Thursday it and its unlisted

Sesa Goa: Asset mining
Nevin John / Mumbai June 23, 2009, 0:24 IST

Sesa Goa’s acquisition of Dempo Group’s iron ore assets in Goa bears a
stamp of Vedanta Resources Chairman Anil Agarwal’s signature strategy
— buy low-value assets, pump investments into them and work to turn
them into cash cows. Vedanta’s previous acquisitions of Hindustan
Zinc, Balco, Konkola Copper Mines and the 2007 takeover of Sesa Goa
have helped the company multiply the value of its metals business.
Along the same line, Agrawal-controlled Sesa Goa aims to scale up its
iron-ore trade volume through the Rs 1,750-crore Dempo deal.

Sesa now has access to Dempo’s 21 mines in Goa with mineable resources
of around 70 million tonne. At present, Sesa is the largest exporter
to China where demand is picking up after the slump. Dempo, on its
part, has international clients like Nippon Steel of Japan, Jinan Iron
 Steel, Quingdao Steel of China and Noble Group of Hong Kong.

Ambit Corporate Finance Vice-president Ashim Bhuwania, the financial
advisor of the deal, says that the acquisition brings strong
operational synergies to Sesa Goa. “In Goa, some of the Sesa and Dempo
mines share common boundaries and some of them are located close to
each other. Sesa has a track record of ramping up production capacity
and improving efficiency, which will improve the value of the assets
acquired,” adds Bhuwania. Industry analysts say that Sesa is toeing
the global trend where mining companies are consolidating assets for
better price bargaining and market control.

Close to the heels of arrests of Shamsuner Naik and Vijay Vijay Pandluskar by

The modus operandi of the mining company is very clear : Release the Bicholim

battle is on. it remains to be seen as to how long Goa Police is going to

Goa Pradesh Congress Committee (GPCC) Rs. 28 lakhs, Bharatiya Janata Party

Party (MGP) Rs.5 lakhs, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) Rs. 5 Lakhs and Shiv 
Sena Rs.1 Lakh. This will ensure that none of these Political Parties will

rampaging mission. Advalpal can become a mining pit. Who cares? Goa government

Sesa Goa Q4 net soars on higher ore price, volumes

Proposes bonus in the ratio of 1:1, stock split

Our Bureau

Mumbai, April 29 Nearly a doubling of iron ore prices in the last one
year, coupled with higher production and sales, helped Sesa Goa Ltd
(SGL) more than treble its standalone net profit for the quarter ended
March 31, 2008 to Rs 798.30 crore against Rs 252.33 crore in the
year-ago quarter.

Its standalone sales from operations crossed the Rs 1,644-crore mark
during the quarter compared with Rs 760.11 crore in the same period of
the previous fiscal.

On a consolidated basis, the London-listed Vedanta Group controlled
company notched up a net profit of Rs 811.58 crore in the quarter, up
by nearly 209 per cent from Rs 263.34 crore in the year-ago period.
Similarly, its consolidated net sales increased by 108 per cent to Rs
1,705 crore (Rs 819 crore).

The board of directors has recommended a final dividend of Rs 30 for
one equity share, apart from a bonus issue and stock split.

An indication of the higher price realisation from iron ore can be had
from the fact that the company's iron ore sales was about five million
tonnes (mt) during the quarter compared to 4.5 mt in the year-ago
quarter. Even then, its standalone revenue from iron ore was Rs 1,537
crore (Rs 701.26 crore).

Mr P.K. Mukherjee, Managing Director, said the higher price
realisation was only one of the driving factors for the growth. He
said on an average the ore prices increased from $40- $45 a tonne to
$80- $90 a tonne in the last one year.

It is not that we decide the prices. We get offers from our buyers
and then we take a position, he pointed out.

The positive impact of higher prices and volumes was, however, partly
offset by the appreciation of the rupee against the dollar by about 11
per cent, increase in logistic costs and export duty. Exports
increased by 14 per cent during the last fiscal as compared to the
previous year.

The company registered the highest-ever quarterly and annual iron ore
sales of 5 mt and 12.4 mt respectively. Its annual iron ore sale of
12.4 mt was higher by 14 per cent over the previous fiscal. Its
consolidated annual sales were also the highest ever at Rs 3,823
crore, up by 72 per cent compared to 2006-07.

Mr Mukherjee expected the company to maintain a 25 per cent volume
growth in iron ore sales in the current fiscal.

square meters of land in Naveli village of Bicholim Takula in Goa. This was 
disclosed by a vigilant villager Nilkhant Gawas at Seminar on Environmental 
Issues of Goa: Mining, Sponge and Pig Iron Ore Plants organised at 
Government middle school, Naveli by Nature Environment Society and 
Transformations (NEST) in collaboration with Naveli Village Panchayat and 
Shikshan Sanghatna, Naveli on August 19 2007.

Bcause of Sesa's Pig Iron Ore Plant that borders Amona village, village is 
polluted with graphite and innumerable sickneses have come about. There are 
two beneficiation plants in the village to wash iron ore for exports that 
fetch foreign exchange for India and fortunes for mining companies.

Sesa Goa earlier was Italian company, in the mid 1990s it was taken over by 
Japanese company Mitsui and in 2007 it is purchased by Anil Agrawal owned 
Vedanta group known for poor environmental records. Sesa Goa also has other 
mining sites in villages such as Pissurlem, in Sattari, Goa where it has 
destroyed this village with other mining companies. Sesa Goa is biggest 
mining companies in Iron Ore exports trade in India.

The other land grabbers are mining companies Damodar Mangaljis 4 lakh square 
meters, Dempo mining corporation 3.5 lakh square meters, Fomento mining 
company 2.5 lakh square meters, Timblos mining company 1.5 lakh square 
meters, and former cop Santoba Desai 50,000 square meters of land.

The total land grab of the village amounts to 37 lakh square meters. 
Industry is trying hard to quell the protest in Naveli. It remains to seen 
as to how long they are able to postpone the oncoming hurricane.

Bhau Chopsticks(BC),

I'm not sure the Italians nor Japanese could run it better than the man who 
built the world's largest steel company from scratch.

Using a fork and knife to put food in your hands, I'm afraid does not make 
you an expert in the steel industry.

share prices. Francis D' Melo tell these annadis
something about Sesa.

Sesa Goa belonged to the Italics until bharat forced
them to share their shares. If Mittals buy the company
then Goans can be assured that more Bihar will be in
Goa.

Hello Chopsticks .

It is the Japanese Mitsui Corp which is planning to sell its 51% equity
stake in Sesa Goa. 

Now here is something to interest you: a Brazilian Company called CVRD is
also bidding for Sesa Goa. One of the people involved in the bid is a Goan -
Elson de Barros Gomes Jr, Honorary Consul of India in Minas Gerais, Brazil. 

Coincidentally  Elson wrote to me yesterday My favorite food that my mother
does with lot dexterity are lentils as moong, masur, tur, and channa I also
like a lot of the chutneys that she does of mango from Karela or Brinjal .
and that is why I cannot loose weight. 

For a photograph and profile of Elson check out the photo gallery at

Cheers,
