KIOCL restarts operation at Mangaluru pellet plant
This statistic underlines the importance of the export market for KIOCL's business model and the impact of export duties on its operations.
New Delhi: KIOCL today in its regulatory filing informed that the Pellet Production at Pellet Plant Unit of the Company situated at Mangalore had restarted today i.e., with effect from November 8, 2023 (F/N).
This comes after a temporary suspension due to a lack of demand in the domestic market and the international market's unviability due to high export duties.
The company had previously put a halt to its operations on June 7. However, it resumed its activities later on August 12, only to shut down again due to the aforementioned challenges. The Mangalore unit's operations have been a rollercoaster ride, reflecting the volatility of the global steel market.
