South Korean steel producer POSCO has evinced interest in setting up a steel mill on land available at Indian state-run steel producer Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited’s (RINL) facility located at the southern Indian port town of Vishakhapatnam, India’s steel minister Dharmendra Pradhan told parliament on Thursday, February 11.
指出，POSCO和RINL在2019年签署了非约束力的谅解备忘录，并且两家公司的联合工作组成立，虽然拟议的合作伙伴的股权尚未最终确定，但尚未最终确定，POSCO已经指出，它将在项目中寻求股权份额至少为50％。
然而，部长未在本月早些时候在政府诉讼中批准陆克尔私有化通过100％的私人投资者批准私人投资者的私募股权的私有化。
据钢铁部门分析师称，虽然预测，如果POSCO将参与消防过程，则秤倾斜的尺度倾向于倾斜，以便在与其合作合作后致力于合资项目后投标投标后者。
Underlining that any prediction of POSCO’s future moves will be speculative at this point in time, the analyst said that a controlling interest in RINL is “logical” considering that such a move will give the South Korean major a foothold in securing RINL’s exclusive long product steel mill, and that it would consider subsequent diversification of the portfolio into flat products instead of earlier plans of constructing a greenfield flat product steel mills within premises of RINL.
