The centre plans reviving HMT and the Sir M. Visvesvaraya Iron and Steel Plant (VISL), Union Heavy Industries and Steel minister H D Kumaraswamy said Thursday. Speaking in Mandya (Karnataka), he said several rounds of discussions have taken place.
An official statement said NITI Aayog Member V K Saraswat has submitted a report on the revival of HMT. A team of Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI) and HMT officials has visited Japan to explore possibilities of technical collaboration.
