Govt to check foreign fund appetite in Hindustan Zinc before stake dilution

The government will assess the appetite of large foreign funds in Hindustan Zinc before taking a decision on the timing of dilution of its minority equity stake in the Anil Agarwal-owned metal company, an official has said. The government currently holds a 29.54 per cent stake in HZL, while a 5.54 per cent stake is with public shareholders. Mining mogul Anil Agarwal's Vedanta Ltd is the promoter with a 64.92 per cent stake in HZL.

The official said since public float is only about 5 per cent, it would not be feasible for big investors, who put in lump sum funds in the company, as share availability in the market is limited. "Merchant bankers will first assess the interest of large fund houses in HZL. Once we get
