SAIL: Recent Updates

Last week, a senior government official said that the Steel Ministry was mulling the formation of a separate vertical at SAIL with a focus on mining operations for boosting the production of iron ore.

SAIL aims to scale up its overall installed capacity to 35 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) by 2030. Iron ore is a key raw material used in the manufacturing of steel through the blast furnace route.

SAIL, under the administrative control of the Ministry of Steel, is India's third-largest iron ore producer, with a network of 15 iron ore mines in the states of Jharkhand, Odisha and Chhattisgarh. The company also has four coal mines and three flux mines.
