Sterlite Industries Ltd. raised its bid Friday for Asarco LLC by 20 percent to $2.57 billion in cash, topping rival Grupo Mexico’s offer to regain control of the mining company that has been operating under bankruptcy protection.
Mumbai-based Sterlite said the bid was revised to provide full cash payments to asbestos creditors and surplus cash after closing for Asarco’s operations.
