Many firms interested in buying India's Satyam-min

NEW DELHI Jan 21 (Reuters) - Many companies are interested in buying embattled Indian software exporter Satyam Computer Services (SATY.BO), the federal corporate affairs minister said on Wednesday, but gave no further details.

"There are many corporate houses, they are interested in this," Prem Chand Gupta told reporters on Wednesday.

"The government has not taken any view on this ... it is for the board to take that call. But as far as the government is concerned, there is no such thinking, no such move," he said. (Reporting by Rajesh Kumar Singh; Editing by Mark Williams)
