ArcelorMittal-led consortium bids for Essar Steel
A grouping led by the worlds biggest steelmaker ArcelorMittal, mining mogul Anil Agarwal-led Vedanta and a consortium of Russias VTB Capital-backed NuMetal and JSW on Monday put in bids to takeover bankrupt Essar Steel in the second round of bidding.
In the first round, NuMetal and ArcelorMittal were the only two parties that bid to buyout Essar Steel, but the insolvency resolution professional overseeing the auction was advised to reject both the bids owing to their promoters being linked to defaulter companies. Revised bids were due on Monday.
Sources privy to the development said three groups bid for Essar Steel.
NuMetal, majority-owned by Russias second largest bank VTB Group, shed Aurora Trust, which has links to Rewant Ruia - son of Essar Steel promoter Ravi Ruia, in the second round of bidding. While its promoters bought out Aurora Trusts 25% stake, NuMetal aligned with JSW to make the revised bid on Monday.
ArcelorMittal, which had been disqualified in the first round for being listed as a promoter of loan defaulter Uttam Galva Steel, bid along with Nippon Steel and Sumitomo Metal Corporation.
This after it got declassified as a promoter of Uttam Galva Steel. The company had sold its entire holding in Uttam Galva Steel before the first round of bids in February but its name had continued as a promoter on the stock exchanges, resulting in its disqualification.
Sources said Vedanta was the surprise entrant on Monday. Vedanta has already won a bid to acquire bankrupt Electrosteel Steels in an insolvency auction.
Confirming bidding for Essar Steel, Anil Agarwal said the company has made a compelling bid. "I have put a very lucrative bid. This is a great opportunity... When we want it, we must have it."
Six firms had initially put in expressions of interest to acquire Essar Steel, whose Rs 51,800 crore of outstanding debt claims have been admitted under the bankruptcy process. These firms included Tata Steel, state-owned SAIL, ArcelorMittal, NuMetal, Vedanta and Singapore-based fund SSG.
Only ArcelorMittal and NuMetal put in bids in the first round on February 12.
Sources said JSW was interested in acquiring Essar Steel after Tata Steels acquisition of bankrupt Bhushan Steel for Rs 35,200 crore gave it a pole position.
But bankruptcy rules did not permit anyone who had not put in an EoI to bid and so it aligned with NuMetal for bidding today. Rules also bar defaulting promoters from bidding.
TyazhPromExports (TPE) of Russia and Indo International are the other shareholders of NuMetal.
The Ahmedabad bench of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), which has been approached by NuMetal against the disqualification of first bid, on Monday ruled that second round of bids cannot be opened before April 4. Reported by Deccan Herald 10 hours ago.

Susan won a Tula Pink Hardware 5” curved EZ Snips Thread Snipper.

Alectra wants customers to ‘call before you dig’ this spring
HAMILTON, Ontario, April 03, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alectra Utilities is partnering with the Ontario Regional Common Ground Alliance (ORCGA) in a campaign to bring awareness to safe digging practices. ‘Dig Safe Month’, a provincial-wide initiative, began on Sunday, April 1.The campaign aims to promote safety and reduce damages to underground infrastructure by raising awareness of safe digging practices, which includes calling ‘Ontario One Call’ before beginning a project that involves breaking ground.
Homeowners often make risky assumptions about whether or not they should get the location of the underground utility lines marked, but even small projects like planting trees require a call. Residents and small business owners should follow these steps when starting any outdoor project that involves digging:
1. Call 1-800-400-2255 or visit Ontario One Call before digging
2. Wait for an Alectra Utilities cable locator to arrive and mark the area
3. Respect the marks; avoid digging within one metre of marked ground
4. Dig with care
Alectra Utilities is supporting Dig Safe Month in a number of ways including ceremonial flag raisings featuring the Dig Safe flag at the company’s work locations in Barrie, Brampton, Hamilton, Markham, Mississauga, St. Catharines and Vaughan. Dig Safe signage will be posted for customers who can also learn more through the utility’s social media campaign.
“At Alectra, safety of our customers, employees and the communities we serve is our top priority,” says Kimberly Boyle, SVP People and Safety, Alectra Utilities. “Dig Safe Month is an excellent campaign that works to remind everyone of the simple steps that can be taken to ensure all projects are performed safely.”
*About Alectra Utilities Corporation *
Alectra Utilities Corporation serves approximately one million customers across a 2,200 square kilometre service territory and 15 communities including Alliston, Aurora, Barrie, Beeton, Brampton, Bradford, Hamilton, Markham, Mississauga, Penetanguishene, Richmond Hill, St. Catharines, Thornton, Tottenham and Vaughan. It is part of the Alectra family of companies, which also includes Alectra Inc. and Alectra Energy Solutions Inc.
