However, the weightage assigned to individual parameters has not been disclosed by the MoM, Afghanistan.
Upon receiving the news of bid opening, Mr CS Verma chairman of SAIL said that "This is the first time that Indian public and private sector companies have come together to jointly bid for an iron ore asset abroad. With Afghanistan holding strategic interest for India, we hope that our endeavor to obtain mining licenses there will be a stepping stone towards the larger objective of contributing to the much-needed economic growth of the country.
