Profile
Metals magnate, who controls London-listed Vedanta Resources, completed the merger between Vedanta's debt-laden Indian unit and cash-rich oil-and-gas firm Cairn India after sweetening the terms for minority investors. Agarwal's longstanding plan to acquire from the government the remaining 30% stake in Hindustan Zinc that he doesn't own faced a setback when the Supreme Court blocked the sale. His listed Sterlite Technologies hived off its power transmission business into a separate company with a view to listing an infrastructure investment trust.
