Our Editor, Mr. SP Tulsian expects the stock price to move past Rs.145 in the next one month. He expects the stake sale to be concluded over the next one month at over Rs.165 per share. He opines that if Vedanta is able to buy residual stake from the Govt, it may see giving an open offer at the same rate to minority shareholders holding over 5% stake in HZL.
