The Andhra Pradesh Cabinet has approved a proposal to go ahead with the construction of a steel plant in Kadapa after the iron ore linkage has been finalised with the NMDC. Minister Perni Nani said “More than 3,000 acres land has been identified in the Jammalamadugu mandal of the district and the foundation stone would be laid on December 26.”
He said “We have chosen a place with suitable rail and road connectivity, and other advantages. NMDC will supply the iron ore. We mean business.”
