The expert committee has directed the Goa State Environment Impact Assessment Authority (GSEIAA) to furnish terms of reference (ToR) to Shirdi Steel and  Rollers, thereby initiating the process to secure environmental clearance (EC) for the forthcoming expansion endeavour.

In adherence to the issued notification on July 20, 2022, the re-rolling unit (secondary metallurgical processing industry) is required to secure prior clearance within a year from the notification's issuance date. This regulatory impetus underscores the commitment to ensuring sustainable and environmentally conscious growth in the steel sector.
