RT Slashes JSW Coal Price By 43 Percent

Rio Tinto Group has agreed to cut coking coal prices for India’s JSW Steel Ltd. by 43 percent for the last three months of an annual contract after a slump in global demand.

Prices will be slashed to $175 a metric ton for the three months ending March 31, from $305 a ton, JSW Finance Director Seshagiri Rao said today in a telephone interview in Mumbai. JSW is India’s third-largest steelmaker.
