ArcelorMittal focus on other assets may hit SAIL auto steel JV - Report
Reuters reported that a steel ministry report showed that ArcelorMittal’s interest in buying debt-ridden Indian steel companies could derail its planned USD 1 billion joint venture with Steel Authority of India Ltd. The document seen by Reuters showed that SAIL said any such buyout by the world’s top steelmaker, controlled by billionaire Lakshmi Mittal, could violate its exclusive partnership arrangement for manufacturing steel for cars.
The report, citing SAIL’s objections at a meeting last month, said “ArcelorMittal’s stance has undergone significant change during July-August 2017 and that ArcelorMittal has opened up some of the previously agreed issues.”
SAIL has argued that ArcelorMittal’s stance over non-compete and exit clauses has further stalled discussions.
ArcelorMittal and SAIL signed their preliminary agreement in 2015 but there has been little progress due to disputes over terms.
ArcelorMittal, known for turning around troubled steel assets, is looking for a foothold in India. The report quoted a source as saying that it has been scrutinizing debt-ridden Bhushan Steel Ltd and Essar Steel for a possible buyout.
