To jointly start mining operations at
Sukinda in Odisha after obtaining necessary approvals.
Tata Steel Mining and Jindal Stainless have
signed an agreement to jointly unearth the Chrome Ore locked up in the boundary
between their mines at Sukinda in Odisha.
It would help the conservation of chromite
ore which otherwise would have been left unmined forever. Both the companies
would now initiate steps to get necessary statutory approvals from concerned
authorities before jointly starting mining operations.
MC Thomas, Managing Director, Tata Steel
Mining, said the joint initiative would set examples for organisations,
especially in the mining industry, to collaborate in the larger interest of
mineral conservation and sustainability.
Abhyuday Jindal, Managing Director, Jindal
Stainless said the company’s effort would enhance ore availability in the
region without any adverse environmental impact, as it is already an explored area.
