The issue of purchase and sale between customers and sellers of Special Economic Zones and Domestic Tariff Area is a matter of commercial transactions between entities.  Government therefore does not prescribe the terms of tender processes between companies/entities.  Government has advised NALCO to take decision in the best commercial interest of the Company and in its long term interest so as to maintain Company’s competitiveness in the sector.

 

The information was given by the Minister of State in the Ministry of Commerce and Industry Dr. E.M. Sudarsana Natchiappan in Lok Sabha today.
