It bought them on the market on April 6 when HPG was trading at around VND49,400, which puts the value of the deal at around VND59 billion ($2.56 million).

The plant, to cost VND62 trillion ($2.7 billion), will be able to produce 5.6 million tons of steel a year.

Hoa Phat targets 33 percent growth in revenues and post-tax profits this year to VND120 trillion and VND18 trillion.
