Indian steel ministry is planning to set up a special arm under Steel Authority of India Limited to spearhead overseas acquisitions, particularly in the mining sector.

Likely to be named SAIL Videsh, the move comes in the wake of the existing special purpose vehicle, International Coal Ventures (ICVL, which is a joint venture between SAIL, NMDC, RINL, NTPC and Coal India, failing to make much headway in procuring coal assets abroad during the past two years.

The proposal to create SAIL Videsh, as a subsidiary of the steel major, is being examined in the steel ministry, sources in the know said, adding a final decision is expected soon.

As per report "The ministry is examining either to wind up ICVL or revamp it and make it a 100% subsidiary of SAIL and ask NMDC, NTPC, RINL, CIL to leave the SPV.”

The report cited Mr Atul Chaturvedi steel secretary as saying that "The ministry is examining options to restructure ICVL or to give a new shape to it because in the present form it has not achieved desired progress. So we are examining how we can resolve it’s structural and decision making deficiencies. The bottom line is that we have to acquire raw materials resources abroad. There is and should be no compromise in achieving that objective.”

ICVL was formed to acquire thermal and coking coal properties abroad in 2008 with a corpus of INR 10,000 crore, with SAIL being the major contributor and steel ministry being its administrative ministry.
