BENGALURU - Indian miner Vedanta will sell a 3.3% stake worth more than $950-million in unit Hindustan Zinc, it said on Wednesday, bigger than the 2.6% stake it initially planned to hive off.

Vedanta said it will sell 140-million Hindustan Zinc shares.

That values the sale at 80.05-billion rupees (about $954-million), based on Hindustan Zinc's stock closing price of 571.75 rupees on Wednesday.

The share sale is scheduled for August 16 and August 19 for a floor price of 486 rupees, as per a BSE circular.

The stock dropped 1.4% on the day. Vedanta had said after the markets closed on Tuesday that it would sell a 2.6% stake.

Last month, the miner raised 85-billion rupees through a share placement.

Vedanta's U.K.-based parent, Vedanta Resources, is seeking to cut its debt by $3 billion over the next three years, it said earlier this year.
