Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Indian mining mogul Anil Agarwal has insisted his Vedanta group has ample funding options and that it aims to become a \u201czero debt company\u201d, as scrutiny of highly leveraged Indian conglomerates grows following the Adani Group short-seller attack.<\/p>\n

Bonds are currently junk-rated for Agarwal\u2019s natural resources group, which is India\u2019s biggest private miner and pitches itself as integral to India\u2019s economic growth. It has been battling to cut its debt pile even as it expands into new business lines, including building an ambitious semiconductor facility in partnership with Apple supplier Foxconn.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody wants to finance us,\u201d Agarwal told the Financial Times in an interview, citing Indian banks and \u201cAmerican funds\u201d, which he declined to name. He said Vedanta was in talks with JPMorgan and other banks for a $1bn loan, with an interest rate of 8 to 10 per cent. Vedanta borrowed $400mn from Howard Marks\u2019 Oaktree Capital Group in 2020. Vedanta had \u201cless than $13bn total debt\u201d and becoming \u201ca zero-debt company is not a distant dream, but a medium-term, achievable goal,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The comments by the former Mumbai scrap metal trader turned industrialist come at a bruising time for Vedanta Limited\u2019s share price, which has tumbled 12 per cent in the past month. Yields on bonds maturing in 2026 for Vedanta Resources have spiked around 23 per cent in the past month. Agarwal shrugged off the bond market moves as being related to the \u201cgeopolitical situation\u201d.<\/p>\n

India\u2019s capital markets have been rocked by short seller Hindenburg Research\u2019s assault on billionaire tycoon Gautam Adani\u2019s infrastructure conglomerate this year, triggering a stock market rout that had erased about $145bn in his group\u2019s market value at its lowest point.<\/p>\n

Agarwal dismissed concerns about paying upcoming debt maturities worth $900mn by June. He stressed his commodities businesses were \u201cthrowing off enough cash\u201d and said he expected $9bn of profit across the group for the coming year, adding: \u201c$1bn is peanuts for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

JPMorgan said in a recent research note that the current financial year would be \u201ccritical for Vedanta Resources\u201d as it grappled with debt maturities and interest amounting to $4.1bn at the holding-company level.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have seen a recovery of the commodity cycle in recent months, which will improve Vedanta\u2019s cash flows and profitability,\u201d said Abhishek Jain, head of research with Arihant Capital. \u201cBut refinancing debt will be challenging in the current environment, and their financing costs will increase.\u201d<\/p>\n

Agarwal, who attempted to take his Mumbai-listed conglomerate private in 2020, has built up his oil-to-aluminium empire by snapping up distressed assets using debt, creating a host of subsidiaries. Moody\u2019s in a recent research note called Vedanta\u2019s resulting web of businesses a \u201ccomplex structure\u201d that has \u201clong been a credit concern\u201d.<\/p>\n

Agarwal also insisted that merging his South African and Indian zinc mining assets was the \u201cright thing to do\u201d, less than two months after India\u2019s government said it opposed the plan, delaying a deal that would have freed up $2bn in cash to Vedanta\u2019s parent company through a special dividend.<\/p>\n

Agarwal\u2019s Vedanta Limited owns the majority 64.9 per cent stake in former state-owned Hindustan Zinc. He had planned to have Hindustan Zinc acquire South African operation THL Zinc from another Vedanta group entity, in a deal valuing the company at $2.9bn.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a very large company with similar size resources in South Africa, and both are under two different managements,\u201d Agarwal said. \u201cThrough consolidation, there is scope for significant improvement from a structure and business strategy perspective.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cIt was natural to put this before the government to bring them together [in order] to run it efficiently and create the world\u2019s largest zinc company.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the Indian government, which retains a 29.5 per cent stake in Hindustan Zinc, opposed the related party transaction and \u201curge[d] the company to explore other cashless methods of acquisition of these assets\u201d. Credit analysts said the government had probably baulked at THL Zinc\u2019s high price.<\/p>\n

Agarwal said he would not move forward without the government\u2019s approval and that discussions were continuing. \u201cOne thing is for sure: we will align with the government and then do it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
