Government has approved decision of divesting 5 percent holding in Oil and Natural Gas Corp’s (ONGC) through stock exchange mechanism by offering to sell 427,774,504 equity shares of the company. The government is eyeing to raise $2.5 billion by selling shares at a premium to ONGC's Tuesday closing price of Rs 283.40.
Besides, government owned oil majors ONGC and GAIL India are likely to offer $2 billion to acquire Africa-focused gas explorer Cove Energy, joining a bidding war over the UK-listed company. Both the companies are aiming to beat a $1.77 billion bid by Thai state-controlled oil and gas group PTT and Royal Dutch Shell Plc's offer worth $1.6 billion earlier this month, which already represented a 70% premium to Cove's share price when it announced plans to sell in January.
GAIL India and ONGC Videsh, the overseas investment arm of oil explorer and producer ONGC will make their combined bid this week. The state-run consortium may value London-listed Cove at 245 pence-a-share. The move of the state run company reflects intense industry interest in East Africa, a previously little-explored area which is tipped to become a major natural gas producing region.
