This MOU aims to explore the possibility of setting up a Joint Venture for manufacturing stainless steel slabs in Indonesia.
The details of this collaboration were disseminated through SAIL's press release in various leading media publications, including Free Press Journal, Mint, The Financial Express, Deccan Chronicle, and Danik Jagaran on July 8th/9th, 2026, and Business Line on July 12, 2026.
