Cyclone-hit Rashtriya Ispat Nigam resumes production

Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Ltd resumed production today after suspending operation for three weeks due to devastation by the cyclone 'Hudhud'.
"After the devastating cyclone on October 12, 2014, RINL swung into action for speedy revival. Production in all the units including Rolling Mills has been revived," the steel maker said in a statement.
Expressing satisfaction over faster revival of production, RINAL CMD P Madhusudan said the steel maker could revive operations in three weeks time despite breakdown of major water supply line in Power Plant leading to tripping of captive power generation and delaying the process of recovery by three days.

He thanked trade unions, Steel Executive Association and other Associations of RINL, the District Administration, APTransco, Power Grid, Ministry of Steel, State and Central Governments for the support extended in the revival process, it added.
