The Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved the sale of the Modi government’s remaining stake in Hindustan Zinc. The government currently owns a 29.54% stake in Hindustan Zinc which is worth around Rs 37,000 crore, reported The Indian Express

Hindustan Zinc was a majority government-owned company. The government had earlier offloaded 26 % stake in the firm in 2002, which was bought by Anil Agarwal-led Vedanta Group. The mining giant later acquired a further stake in the company to take its holding to 64.92%.

Shares of Hindustan Zinc ended 4.10% higher at Rs 307.50 apiece on the National Stock Exchange (NSE).
