NMDC, Severstal inks implementation protocol in Moscow, Russia

12 Nov 2011 Evaluate

State-owned iron ore miner, NMDC and Severstal has signed the implementation protocol in Moscow, Russia, elaborating upon the memorandum of understanding dated December 2010. Both the companies’ executives discussed progress in establishing their joint project in Karnataka, India. The implementation protocol was signed in the presence of Shri Beni Prasad Verma, Secretary of Steel.

The protocol defines the target initial plant capacity which would be 3 million tonnes finished steel. It also confirms the intention of NMDC and Severstal to fully meet the joint venture’s captive requirements of both iron ore and coking coal so that it becomes fully integrated for these primary raw materials. Until the captive assets are fully developed, NMDC and Severstal will take the responsibilities to supply, respectively, iron ore and coking coal to the JV at market basis from their existing assets or alternative sources.

The joint venture of Severstal and NMDC will be another milestone in India-Russia economic co-operation and will be an important investment for the Indian steel industry.

NMDC is involved in the exploration of a wide range of minerals including iron ore, copper, rock phosphate, lime stone, dolomite, gypsum, bentonite, magnesite, diamond, tin, tungsten, graphite, beach sands, etc. NMDC is India's single largest iron ore producer and exporter.

The company’s net profit for the second quarter ended September 30, 2011 has surged 42.41% at Rs 1963.15 crore as compared to Rs 1378.53 crore for the corresponding quarter of the last year. The company’s total income has increased 31.76% at Rs 3565.26 crore for the quarter under review as compared to Rs 2705.85 crore for the second quarter of the previous year.
