* KIOCL in talks to set up joint venture for $59 mln project<\/strong><\/p>\n

* Also negotiating additional iron ore pellet exports to Iran<\/strong><\/p>\n

State-run Indian company KIOCL is considering building an iron ore pellet complex in Iran at a cost of about $59 million and is in talks to sell more than 2 million tonnes of the steelmaking raw material to the Gulf country now free from trade sanctions.<\/p>\n

The potential Indian investment could offer cheaper supplies of processed iron ore to Iranian steel mills that, like most companies around the world, are having to contend with cut-price steel from an oversupplied China.<\/p>\n

Companies such as KIOCL and aluminium maker NALCO, which is considering setting up a $2 billion smelter complex in Iran, hope that India’s long-held ties with the Middle Eastern country would help them seal new deals.<\/p>\n

India had remained one of Iran’s top oil buyers during the Western trade curbs and is already in talks to buy more now that the sanctions have been lifted.<\/p>\n

KIOCL Chairman Malay Chatterjee told Reuters on Wednesday that he discussed setting up a 1.1 million tonne beneficiation plant — for ore purification — and a 1.1 million tonne pelletising plant in Iran through a potential joint venture with a local company when he was there in Tehran late last year.<\/p>\n

Further government-level talks could take place soon to pave the way for the project, which could cost abut 4 billion rupees ($59 million), he said.<\/p>\n

KIOCL’s commercial director, M.V. Subba Rao, flew to Tehran on Tuesday and to scout for more deals after selling 67,000 tonnes of ore pellets to Iran’s Mobarakeh Steel Company last month.<\/p>\n

“Rao will talk to Mobarakeh and other companies as we have the capacity to export up to 2.5 million tonnes of pellets a year,” Chatterjee said. “There is enough demand in Iran, though everybody is facing competition from an oversupplied China (steel industry).”<\/p>\n

Mobarakeh’s managing director, Bahram Sobhani, said his company sources pellets from a variety of suppliers, including KIOCL, but declined to give details.<\/p>\n

Keyvan Ja’fari Tehrani, head of international affairs at the Iranian Iron Ore Producers and Exporters Association, said the country’s steel mills are not aggressively chasing expensive foreign pellets because local steel production has been falling.<\/p>\n

However, talks over KIOCL’s proposed investment in an Iranian plant could be complicated by plans for two Iranian companies — Gol-e-Gohar and Sangan Mines — to start their own pellet production from March, which Tehrani said would add more than 5 million tonnes in supplies.<\/p>\n

Iran used to import 7-8 million tonnes of pellets a year, with total demand of 28-29 million tonnes, but Tehrani said the new supplies could soon end the country’s reliance on imports. ($1 = 68.0500 Indian rupees)<\/p>\n
