Swiss giant Glencore sells entire stake in Tinna Viterra to JV partner

World’s largest commodities trader Glencore International AG, through its subsidiary Viterra Asia Pte Ltd, has sold its entire 60 per cent stake in Delhi-based Tinna Viterra Trade Pvt Ltd (TVTL) to its joint venture partner Tinna Rubber and Infrastructure Ltd. However, the deal value has not been disclosed.

The development came after Glencore completed its long-awaited merger with Xstrata Plc to form the world’s fourth biggest mining company and emerged as the biggest commodities trader earlier this month.

Post transaction, Tinna Viterra will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Tinna Rubber and Infrastructure.
