The bids have been increased in the wake of increase in copper prices. Prices of the commodity have gone up by about 50 per cent in the last three months. “The consideration was changed to reflect an increase in copper prices and to meet the expectations of the creditors,” Sterlite said in its announcement to the Bombay Stock Exchange.

“Higher cash consideration also reflects our offer of cash in lieu of the reduction in the value of copper price participation note from $770 million (Rs 3,696 crore) to $208 million (Rs 9,98 crore).”
