Lion Industries Group is expected to realise a gain of RM433.16mil from the sale of Antara Steel Mills's HBI plant and the restructuring exercise.

KUALA LUMPUR: Lion Industries Corporation Bhd (LICB) and Amsteel Mills Sdn Bhd are selling their stake in Antara Steel Mills Sdn Bhd hot-briquetted iron (HBI) plant and business in Labuan to Singapore's Esteel Enterprise Pte Ltd for US$128mil or RM546.56mil.
