The government is unnecessarily wasting time on HZL and Balco. That's the word coming in from Vedanta chairman Anil Agarwal. Vedanta will take the proposal to shell out nearly USD 4 billion to buy the residual stake to its shareholders in 6 days from now. Agarwal insists this is not a revised offer to the government, but only an enabling resolution.

Anil Agarwal, Chairman, Vedanta, says: "The intention that we can merge together, we can have a fungibility, so this year this was the intention. The government also keeps telling us but it also doesn't want us to buy the share. This share government wants to disinvest. It can offload in the market, it can give it to us, but they have to take a view. It is probably unnecessarily spending so much of time. We are always ready."

CNBC-TV18's Nayantara Rai reports that this has been in the works for a very long time and the part of the problem is that the government is still deciding whether it can look at an out of court settlement, etc.

Finance Ministry is very keen for this stake sale to take place. The Mines Ministry is still insisting that the Metal Corporation Act would have to be amended. Even in a cabinet note that it had prepared, the mines ministry has been sticking to its stance over there.

Meanwhile, Vedanta chairman added that business as usual, but he would like to have full control and ownership of both of these companies. He also insisted that this is not a revised offer to the government, but merely an enabling resolution that is going to be taken from shareholders on October 31 in London.

Further, he added that as of now, there are no discussions about Vedanta buying Cairn Energy's minority stake in Cairn India , but he is open to it and this could be looked at a later stage.
