MOIL announced that the company has two Joint Venture Companies (JV) namely SAIL&MOIL Ferro Alloys (SMFAPL) and RINMOIL Ferro Alloys (RMFAPL). SMFAPL was formed in 2008 under 50:50 Joint Venture with Steel Authority of India (SAIL). The objective of the JV was to set up Ferro Alloys / Manganese plant at Nandini, Bhilai (C. G.). Due to reasons including increase in power cost, the operations are not expected to be viable. Hence, the operations were not started in SMFAPL and as such it has been a dormant company since its incorporation in 2008. Since the objective of the JV could not be attainted, it has been decided to close the JVC
