The cost of acquisition was seen at $1.25 billion, it said. In September, Evonik had identified the division as non-core and finalised plans to divest it, the report said.

"Yes, we are aware of the divestment process of Evonik's carbon black operation. But I don't think any information memorandum will be ready before December-end," the report quoted Santrupt Mishra, chief executive of the carbon black business of the Aditya Birla Group, as saying.

"So, to say we are bidding at this point is incorrect. Once all details are out, then we shall evaluate them and take a call."
