Around 30 bids were filed as the extended last date for Expression of Interest (EoI) floated by the Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited (RINL), the corporate entity of Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP), came to an end on Thursday evening.
The Telangana government, which initially evinced interest to participate in the bidding through the Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL), backed out, trade union sources said.
The RINL had called for EoI to fund its working capital / raw material requirements against supply of steel. Though the last date was originally April 15, it was extended till April 20.
