The Odisha government today said it is inviting SAIL-ArcelorMittal JV to set up an automotive grade steel plant in the state as ample land was available there.
Steel Authority of India Limited ( SAIL) recently responding to the state's request wrote a letter to Odisha Principal Secretary, Sanjeev Chopra, saying they would keep the eastern state in mind while zeroing in on the location for the proposed steel plant.
"They ( SAIL-Mittal JV) are examining various locations. And the ball is in their court. Once they express interest, land is also available."
"JSW has given a proposal. So land is going to be assessed. The recommendation has gone to IDCO (Odisha Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation) which will be allotting the land."
The official was in the city for a roadshow for the upcoming "Make in Odisha Conclave 2018."
