JSW changes iron ore suppliers

Mumbai : In the wake of the tussle between the Karnataka government and iron ore miners in Karnataka’s Bellary district, many steelmakers are facing shortage in supply of the raw material. JSW Steel, which operates an 11-million-tonne plant in the region, has secured iron ore supplies from the neighbouring Chitradurga, thereby reducing its dependence on Bellary. “We are able to meet our requirement of iron ore from Chitradurga in Karnataka," Vice-Chairman and Managing Director Sajjan Jindal said while addressing the 17th annual general meeting.
