NMDC's Nagarnar steel plant faces delays in commissioning amid COVID-19

27 Jul 2020 Evaluate

NMDC’s steel plant at Nagarnar, Chhattisgarh is facing delays in commissioning due to disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The steel plant, which had missed its completion schedule earlier as well, is now expected to take one more year to start production.

The company was first expected to commence steel production at its Nagarnar plant in July 2019, but failed to do so and then the commissioning deadline was shifted to 2020. After the coronavirus lockdown in March, the construction work of the plant was completely stopped. The work resumed only in April after the government announced fresh guidelines for enforcing the second phase of lockdown. As per the guidelines, the construction activity was allowed from April 20 with strict safety measures.

NMDC is a state-controlled mineral producer of the Government of India. It is fully owned by the Government of India and is under administrative control of the Ministry of Steel.
