NEW DELHI (Scrap Register): The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has approved Australian miner Metal X's improved takeover offer for its subsidiary Aditya Birla Minerals Ltd (ABML), said Aluminium maker Hindalco.

Metal X offered 1 fully paid ordinary share in Metals X Ltd for 4.5 ABML shares and AUD (Australian dollar) 0.08 in cash for every ABML share held. The offer was conditional upon Hindalco's acceptance and confirmation that it has obtained the requisite approval from the RBI.
