The event marked a significant step towards accelerating project execution and strengthening investor confidence,” said Manikant Dhan, BSL chief of communication, on Saturday.

Officials said the meet involved 17 national and international players along with a consultant.

Representatives of the bidders, including global technology providers and balance-of-plant package providers, made detailed presentations on various project components.

The programme was inaugurated by BSL director in-charge, Priya Ranjan, in the presence of senior officials, including executive directors and chief general managers.

Dhan said, “Key areas discussed during the session included the brownfield expansion works, installation of a stamp charged coke oven battery and development plans for Gua ore mines.”
