"The demerger of NMDC and Nagarnar Steel Plant (NSP) is in the final stages, and the plant is expected to commence operation this month. We will proceed with appointing merchant bankers thereafter”, as quoted from an official.
The official also stated that bidders would likely be asked for preliminary bids or expressions of interest by the end of March.
The sale will take place during the upcoming fiscal, starting in April 2023.
