New Delhi: A final decision would be taken by January end on South Korean giant Posco's proposed USD 12-billion steel plant in Orissa, Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh said today. "I am confident that by the end of January, we will have complete clarity on the future course on this," the minister told reporters here. Ramesh said the ministry has received all the information regarding the project, which seeks diversion of 1253.225 hectares of forest land for establishment of Integrated Steel Plant and Captive Port in state's Jagatsinghpur district. The project is under scanner of the ministry for alleged violation of green laws.
