News: Strong demand for Reliance Petroleum sale
(BBC 21/04/2006) Mumbai - Indian oil firm Reliance Petroleum's share sale has been oversubscribed, with investors offering to buy 46 times the amount of stock on offer.
The oil company, a unit of Reliance Industries, is selling 450 million shares in what will be India's largest initial public offering this year.
Boosting demand was US firm Chevron's purchase of a 5% stake in Reliance, with an option to lift it to 29%. Reliance Petroleum stands to earn about $620m (£349m) from the sale. The company plans to use the money from the sale to boost its refining capacity.
