SAIL Shares Rise On Chiria Iron Ore Settlement

Steel Authority of India (SAIL) rose 1.3% to Rs 173 on the BSE on news reports that the government is likely to split the Chiria iron ore mine in Jharkhand.

Sail will be given half of these reserves and the remaining half would be allocated to private companies for developmental purposes.

Chiria currently meets the requirements of SAIL’s Rourkela unit, IISCO plant and part of the Durgapur unit.

Chiria has proven reserves of two billion tonnes, but is not fully explored.
