The Union Government has reiterated that there was no question of privatising the steel plant and it is also not in favour of merging it with SAIL at this point of time. Sources said since the Steel Plant is in heavy losses, merger with sail will result in fall in the present high value shares of SAIL.

Hence the centre is working out alternate plans to first revive the VSP, bring a turnaround and make a profitable unit.

Naidu is also likely to discuss the issue with Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his meeting with him.
