Spice keen on investing Rs 20 bn in Satyam

New Delhi, Jan 30: Spice Group is keen to acquire 51 per cent stake and invest about Rs 20 billion in Satyam Computers, said Spice Chairman B K Modi.

"That is our desire," Modi said on Friday, Jan 30. "We want the money to go inside the company. For that they will have to make a preferential issue. If I buy shares from the market, the money will not go into the company."

Modi said the group had submitted on Thursday, Jan 29 its proposal to the government-appointed new board of Satyam.

"We have also talked to two, three board members informally."
