Hindustan Zinc gets CCEA’s nod for Government’s residual stake sale

Hindustan Zinc has received Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs’ (CCEA) approval for the sale of Government’s residual stake in the company. The move might lower the pressure on the Government, which is struggling to meet the disinvestment target of Rs 40,000 crore and residual stake target of Rs 14,000 crore.

Till now, the Government has got less than Rs 3,000 crore under disinvestment and yet to open account in residual stake sale target. The government holds a 29.5% stake in Hindustan Zinc, the world’s second-largest zinc producer that is controlled by Anil Agarwal’s Vedanta Group.

Hindustan Zinc manufactures three qualities of zinc -- special high grade zinc used in construction, infrastructure, household appliances etc; high grade zinc and prime western zinc. It manufactures silver used in photographic material, conductor, jewellery, etc.
