Vedanta defers restructuring plan

LONDON: Even as NRI billionaire Anil Agarwal-led Vedanta on Wednesday postponed its restructuring plans citing global financial meltdown and investors’ feedback, a media report alleged that the company had bowed under pressure from its ‘rebel’ shareholder, The Children’s Investment Fund.

However, Mr. Agarwal declined to have succumbed to any such pressure, in an interview to a private news channel.

“We have not got any legal notice from TCI, like them there are several investors. We also respect their views and other’s views on the basis of that we have realised that in today’s time we should not pursue the position,” he told CNBC TV 18.

There was no point in pursuing the plan to simplify and streamline the corporate structure in the present global market conditions, he said and added the company would undertake the plan when the market settled down.
