State-owned NMDC's steel plant at Nagarnar, Chhattisgarh, is facing delays in commissioning due to disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, a top company official has said.

The steel plant, which had missed its completion schedule earlier as well, is now expected to take one more year to start production.
