With reference to your above cited correspondence, we would like to inform you that we are taking necessary follow up actions to fulfill our obligations which are as follows
1. All pre-construction activities and mechanical completion of the project including pre• commissioning trials has been completed by June 2014, and plant is ready for commissioning, but could not commission for want of raw material (Bauxite); which is being not supplied by the APMDC - Andhra Pradesh State Government Public sector. However since huge amount is invested on the project, we are in negotiations for a settlement with lenders, so that we may procure (both locally & import) bauxite, and commission the plant, till APMDC - Andhra Pradesh, State Government supplies us the designated bauxite as agreed. 2. As required by MOEF (EC & CFO) we are also enclosing a point wise compliance report along with this letter and we would be sending our next progress report by July 2018.
