Suppose a Parent Co. holds the 70% of Share Capital in its subsidiery. it means other share holders hold 30%.
Minority Interest is Interest / holding of Minority Shareholders in the subsidiery comapny. in the above case 30% of Net worth of Co. shall be the Minority Interest.

Minority interest is the net assets of minority shareholders of the subsidiary company which is not owned by the parent company but is controlled by the parent company.
The parent company controls the net assets of minorty shareholders that is why it is shown in the consolidated balance sheet of parent company. It is also known as Non Controlling Interest.
