Steel Authority of India (SAIL) has received final approval from Forest Advisory Committee of Environment Ministry for diversion of about 636 hectares of Saranda forest land for mining, a development that will help the PSU to start its Rs 4,700-crore Gua iron ore mine project.
The company is planning to augment the capacity of the mine to 10 MTPA from existing 2.4 MTPA and set up a 12.5 MTPA beneficiation plant and 4 MTPA pellet plant with an investment of around Rs 4,700 crore.
The company had received preliminary forest clearance for 274.691 hectares of Durgaiburu iron ore lease in August, 2012. The mine has remained closed since June 2011 in absence of environment and forest clearance, hitting the iron ore production of the state-run company.
SAIL is India's largest steel producing company. With a turnover of Rs 49,350 crore, the company is among the five Maharatnas of the country's Central Public Sector Enterprises. SAIL has five integrated steel plants, three special plants, and one subsidiary in different parts of the country.
