NMDC will partner with Russia's largest steel maker Severstal for setting up a 5 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) steel plant in Karnataka. The proposed plant will entail an investment of about Rs 25,000 crore. The company expects to commission 2 MTPA plant in the first phase and ramp up capacity to 5 MTPA later.
Both the companies would have 50 per cent stake in the JV. For the project NMDC has sought 2,500 acres of land from the Karnataka government. Severstal will share its latest steel-making technology with NMDC for the venture, which will produce auto grade and electrical steel to meet its rising demand in the country.
The proposed Karnataka plant will be NMDC's second in India as it has already started work on its 3 MTPA project in Chhattisgarh entailing an investment of about Rs 15,000 crore. At present the Navratna firm produces about 30 MTPA of iron ore from 3 fully mechanised mines in Chhattisgarh and Karnataka. crackcrack
