Adani Gangavaram Port clarifies stand on RINL (Vizag
Steel Plant) unions allegations
For the past
few days some of the unions belonging to RINL (Vizag Steel Plant) are alleging
that Adani Gangavaram Port is not delivering coal and limestone to Vizag Steel
Plant, which is being imported by them through Adani Gangavaram Port. In this
connection, from Adani Group we would like to clarify following.
Gangavaram Port
is committed to doing business in a responsible manner and to building trust
with all stakeholders. As a responsible corporate entity, we have been
providing cargo handling services to RINL despite delayed payments and our
outstanding dues piling up over the past 6 months to a huge amount.
Since
Gangavaram port considers RINL as a key customer, we have continued our
services despite them going in the direction of becoming unsustainable. As RINL
is a respected PSU, we request its leaders to honour their promises to clear
the dues and ensure that cargo handling remains sustainable with regard to the
port operations.
On the
allegations made by the unions, we wish to categorically state that they are
untrue and that the Adani Group has no interest in the privatization process of
RINL.
We request the
unions to refrain from gathering outside the port premises as it not only
disrupts operations in the entire industrial area and the port but also causes
traffic chaos that affects members of the public.
We have ensured
and will continue to ensure that cargo supply by the port supports our valued
customer RINL.
Spokesperson –
G J Rao, Director - Adani Ports
