The stalemate between the Central and State Governments over setting up of an integrated steel factory at Bayyaram in Khammam district continues as the Telangana Government is yet release data of the land proposed as the site for MECON Limited (formerly Metallurgical and Engineering Consultants) of the Union Steel Ministry.
The issue figured in the recent meeting of the standing committee of the southern zonal council with Telangana making a strong pitch for fulfilment of the promise made in the A.P. Reorganisation Act 2014.
Home Ministry’s joint secretary (CS) S.K. Jindal who chaired the meeting reiterated that it was for the Telangana Government to identify the location for the steel plant following which the MECON would conduct survey of the location and submit a draft feasibility report (DFR).
