SAIL consortium secures development right of three mines in Afghanistan

29 Nov 2011 Evaluate

Steel Authority of India (SAIL) led seven-member consortium has secured development right to mine three out of four iron ore reserves at Hajigak in Central Bamiyan province of Afghanistan. The Indian consortium had got the rights to mine B, C and D, having reserves of 930 million tonne, 357 million tonne and 175 million tonne respectively. Mine A has gone to a Canadian firm.

The mines, located across the Hindu Kush Mountains, between Bamyan and Maidan Wardak provinces, are known for rich source of iron ore. The cumulative reserves in the four mines are estimated to be over 1.8 billion tonne.

The win will expand India’s commercial footprint in conflict-ravaged Afghanistan, where it has already invested $2 billion in rebuilding the infrastructure. 

The majority stake of 20% in the special purpose vehicle (SPV) will remain with SAIL, while two other state-run firms - Rashtriya Ispat and NMDC - would have 18% stake each. Moreover, Private players - JSW Steel and Jindal Steel & Power will have 12% stake each in the SPV. JSW Ispat and Monnet Ispat would have the remaining between them.
