Anil Agarwal-promoted Vedanta Resources' Indian mining arm Sesa Goa received a tepid response to its open offer for buying 20 per cent stake in Cairn India.
The company was able to acquire only 8 per cent stake in the oil and gas explorer. The open offer to public shareholders closed on April 30.
"A total of 155 million shares representing approximately 8.1 per cent of the share capital of Cairn India Ltd have been tendered. The total consideration to be paid for the tendered shares is Rs 5,503.7 crore approximately at the offer price of Rs 55 per share," Sesa Goa said in filing to the BSE.
Its parent Vedanta Resources said, "This is in addition to the earlier announced acquisition of 200 million shares amounting to 10.4 per cent stake in Cairn India from Petronas International Corporation Ltd."
The London-based mining major paid USD 1.6 billion to acquire the Malaysian oil giant's stake, which has made it the second largest shareholder in Cairn India.

It now controls almost 18 per cent stake in Cairn India. However, it is yet to receive government approval for acquiring 40 per cent stake in the firm.
The Cairn-Vedanta deal, announced in August 2010, was in controversy for about eight months before Vedanta secured the approval of the market regulator SEBI to launch an open offer.
Under the revised term as per the SEBI approval, Cairn Energy will now sell 40 per cent in its Indian arm to Vedanta.
Vedanta will buy shares from Cairn Energy at Rs 405 a piece, including Rs 50 a share as non-compete fees. The deal has been delayed because of royalty issues with state-owned giant ONGC, which has a 30 per cent stake in Cairn India's Rajasthan block.
