Anil
Agarwal is the Chairman of Vedanta Resources. He is nicknamed ‘metal king’ for
his ownership of a clutch of metals companies, like bauxite and iron ore. In a
free-wheeling interview with the Economic Times, Mr Agarwal rues that “the
world wants India to remain an import-based economy”.
He
further says that “India produces 130 MT of iron ore. And they are talking
about depletion of iron ore reserves. India has potential to produce 600 MT of
iron ore annually. We’ll have reserves for another 100 years at 600 MT
annually. That is India’s capacity.”
As a
co-owner of an oil major (in partnership with Cairn), he says that, “We need 20
oil and gas companies in India, but we have only three — Reliance Industries,
ONGC, and Cairn. Cairn produces oil at three dollars. Can you believe this? And
India imports at 110 dollars a barrel. So, priority to local resources has to
be given.” Read the complete interview here.
