Who is the Chairman and Managing Director of NMDC who monitored the maiden production of the Nagarnar pellet plant from headquarters?
- A.Sumit Deb
- B.Amitava Mukherjee
- C.Sandeep Kumar
- D.N. Baijendra Kumar
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Amitava Mukherjee, who holds the post of Chairman and Managing Director at NMDC Ltd. Poor weather prevented him and the senior leadership from travelling to the project site, so the first production run of the pellet plant was watched live from the headquarters of the company instead. He called the day one of great pride and acknowledged that carrying out the work, which involved the processing facilities, the slurry pipeline and the pellet plant together, had been difficult. Options A, C and D name other individuals and none of them is identified with this announcement, so each is wrong. For the examination the useful pairing is the officer, Amitava Mukherjee, with the event, the commissioning of the 2 MTPA pellet plant at Nagarnar that completes a Rs 5,427 crore integrated project in Bastar, Chhattisgarh, under the Ministry of Steel.
