RSMML, an undertaking of the Government of Rajasthan, is the largest supplier of low-silica limestone for steel making in the country.
The MoU will ensure security of supply of the input for a period of 10 years starting 2008-09.
The MoU will also enable RSMML to enhance its capacity in view of assured demand. RSMML has agreed to supply around 2.1 million tonnes of low-silica limestone to SAIL during the current financial year. The volume will gradually increase to around 4.4 million tonnes by 2017-18 in tandem with the planned rise in SAIL's hot metal production capacity in the coming years.
