IOC DECIDES TO GO FOR EQUITY SWAP IN DEAL WITH ONGC
Article Abstract:
The Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) has decided to opt for equity swap deal with the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) when the Government of India divests its stake in the 2 companies. The Petroleum Ministry of the Government of India has approved cross- holding of stakes by the Indian Oil Corporation and the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation. The swap deal is considered to be better as both the companies plan to diversify into upstream and downstream projects. The Government's stake will be reduced in both the companies in favour of the Indian Oil Corporation or the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation. (rk/kvr)
