Adani plans to sell Australian coal terminal for $2 billion.

The promoters of Adani Group plan to sell their Abbot Point coal terminal in Australia at close to the acquisition price of $2 billion. They had bought the terminal in May 2011, at the peak of a coal boom. The project was transferred to the Adani family in January last year, after analysts raised objections over the high debt burden of India-listed Adani Ports, which had bought the terminal in an all-cash deal. The change in the group's strategy is mainly due to a slowing coal traffic, apart from coal prices falling to $70 a tonne from $120 a tonne three years ago, say bankers. The group has asked bankers in Australia to come up with proposals for sale and other options, say bankers. Private equity firms or infrastructure companies might be interested, they add.

Vedanta mulls 5 mt steel unit at Bellary; may invest Rs. 30k cr.

NRI billionaire Anil Agarwal-led Vedanta Resources is mulling a 5 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) steel plant in Karnataka which may entail an investment of Rs. 30,000 crore. The mining and metals conglomerate has already initiated a feasibility study for its proposed foray into the steel sector through a joint venture, but is yet to commence talks with a potential partner, said a source. "The company is looking at all opportunities to grow in iron and steel sector. As far as steel-making is concerned, it looks very serious about development of Bellary Steel. It owns 700 acres and is looking at a stage-wise increase and may put up a five mtpa steel plant," he said. Agarwal is likely to announce the plan at the company's annual general meeting slated for August 1 in London. A senior official, when contacted, declined to comment on the issue. India�s largest iron ore producer and maker of various non-ferrous metals such as aluminium and zinc, Vedanta had in 2011 acquired the assets of Bellary Steel and Alloys (BSAL) for Rs. 220 crore through a competitive bidding process. Iron ore is one of the key raw materials for steel-making and having a captive source helps a company remain competitive. HBL
