MUMBAI, Nov 10: Vedanta Resources plans to raise up to $2 billion through an initial public offering of its energy firm in India, Sterlite Energy, to fund its power projects, the Business Standard newspaper said on Saturday.

Sterlite Energy is a subsidiary of Indian non-ferrous metals producer Sterlite Industries (India) Ltd.

British mining and metals group, Vedanta, owns 56.99 percent in Sterlite Industries.
