18. London-listed Vedanta had in August last year agreed to buy up to 51 per cent stake in Cairn India from Cairn Energy Plc. Following the acquisition, its group firm Sesa Goa was to make an open offer for buying an additional 20 per cent in the company that owns India's largest on land oil field.

19. But the company could not make the open offer following an oil ministry intervention with SEBI. The ministry said the deal was contingent upon government approval, which is still under process.

20. SEBI is holding back the approval for the open offer as the government is yet to give its go ahead.17

22. This will be the second time the Deccan Chronicle would come out with an offer to buy-back its shares, following which the equity of the promoters in the company could go up to 73.83 per cent from 63.37 per cent currently.

23. SEBI, while exempting Deccan Chronicle from making the mandatory public announcement before coming out with the buy-back offer, has, however, asked the company "not of seek any further exemption pursuant to any further buy-back".

24. Referring to the general issue of companies buying back their own shares, Sebi order said, "repeated buy-back offers by a company is not something that Sebi, as a regulator, would like to encourage, given the fact that it would be misused by entities to consolidate their holding at the expense of the company.18
