RIL pushes for 25% hike in KG basin gas price: Reliance Industries is ostensibly seeking a 25% increase in the price of natural gas it produces from the eastern offshore Krishna-Godavari Basin after it wrote to the Oil Ministry saying it has customers willing to pay more than the government-approved price. RIL Senior Vice-President (Commercial) B Ganguly on September 6 wrote to Oil Secretary S Sundareshan saying that it has received proposals from GMR Energy and Welspun Maxsteel for purchase of additional KG-D6 gas at prices between USD 4.75 and USD 5.25 per million British thermal units, a senior government official said.

Sun inches closer to Taro deal as tender offer ends : Sun Pharma`s tender offer for Taro Pharmaceutical Industries shares has ended, raising hopes that the company may finally end its three-year toil to acquire the Israeli company. ``Sun Pharma is pleased to be able to finally close the offer,`` said Dilip Shanghvi, chairman and managing director of Sun. ``We will now make every effort to consummate our option agreement to purchase the Levitts` controlling shares of Taro.`` Sun Pharma invested USD 60 million in Taro in 2001, with an agreement to combine the companies that helped Taro turnaround and boosted its stock. But Taro terminated the merger agreement in May 2008, saying Sun Pharma`s original offer was too low, blocking Sun Pharma`s open offer for its

shares, sparking a legal feud.

The source, however, declined to divulge the financial details of the pact signed between the two companies.

BoR staff to get 2-stage wage hike in exchange for ICICI terms ICICI Bank has completed the integration of employees of the erstwhile Bank of Rajasthan with its own workforce within 30 days of getting ownership of the business. Employees have been offered a two-stage increase in wages for accepting ICICI Bank`s HR terms, which include dropping out of trade union membership and adhering to the bank`s 9 to 6 working hours. Exactly a month ago, the ICICI Bank-Bank of Rajasthan merger was formalised with the latter`s branches ceasing to exist. Systems integration - bringing both businesses under the same technology platform - is expected to take place by the end of the year. However, thanks to information technology, customers of BoR can undertake most of the basic banking services from all branches of ICICI Bank.

China`s ZTE bags Rs 9.2 bn gear supply deal from Rcom: ZTE, a leading Chinese telecom equipment supplier, has bagged two contracts worth nearly Rs 12.2 billion from domestic mobile operators, seven months after a change in government regulation barred import of China-made equipment. The Chinese vendor has clinched a near USD 200-million (Rs 9.2 billion approximately) contract from Anil Ambani`s Reliance Communications (RCom) to supply a mix of 3G and 2G gear in eight circles. The gear maker recently bagged an Rs 3 billion WiMAX deal from BSNL.

The response for the issue that will see the government also offloading its 10% stake in the company will depend on diesel price decontrol and a long-term government formula for compensating the losses on kerosene and domestic LPG.
