The Indian government has reiterated that it has no intention to halt the privatisation process of Vizag Steel Plant, and dismissed rumors that the disinvestment in The Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited (RINL) has been put on hold. The steel plant disinvestment process is currently ongoing, according to a statement released by the Steel Ministry. The government and Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited are working together to enhance the performance of the steel plant. Union Minister Faggan Singh stated on Thursday that the government is not currently planning to privatize the steel plant, and is instead focusing on strengthening it.

However, his statements on the issue during subsequent meetings with workers and others were not entirely clear, leading to further discussions and uncertainty. As a result, the Centre has recently clarified its stance on the issue
