Essar Group plans to sell UK refinery-sources

Reuters - UK Focus

MUMBAI/NEW DELHI, June 11 (Reuters) - India's Essar Group plans to sell the Stanlow refinery in Britain, three sources familiar with the matter said on Wednesday.

Essar is seeking to raise $500-$600 million for the plant in the northwest of England, two of the sources said. However other plants in the UK Murco's Milford Haven and the Bankrupt Petroplus's Coryton failed to find buyers.

Essar Energy (LSE: ESSR.L - news) declined to comment.

A formal sales process will be launched after all the requirements related to the delisting of Essar Energy from the London Stock Exchange (Other OTC: LDNXF - news) , two of the sources said.
