Hindustan Zinc Limited was incorporated from the erstwhile Metal Corporation of India on

In April 2002, Sterlite Opportunities and Ventures Limited (SOVL) made an open offer for
acquisition of shares of the company; consequent to the disinvestment of Government of
India's (GOI) stake of 26% including management control to SOVL and acquired additional
20% of shares from public, pursuant to the SEBI Regulations 1997. In August 2003, SOVL
acquired additional shares to the extent of 18.92% of the paid up capital from GOI in
exercise of "call option" clause in the share holder's agreement between GOI and SOVL.
With the above additional acquisition, SOVL's stake in the company has gone up to 64.92%.
