Union Minister of Commerce and Industry, Piyush Goyal has informed that As per the information provided by the State Government of Jharkhand, the closed Japla Cement factory in Palamu is a private sector unit. Since this company was ridden with debt of financial institutions, the process for its auction conducted by Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT) through advertisement could not succeed twice due to non-participation by any company/agency/institution. State Government’s efforts to revive this plant in partnership with various private companies like ACC Ltd., Ultratech Cement, Dalmia Cement, Shree Cement and Star Cement met with no success. No industrialist agreed to purchase/operate this plant.
In deference to the Orders dated 17.05.2018 passed by the High Court of Patna for its liquidation, the machinery of the unit has been auctioned.
On 28.08.2018,State Government requested to the Official Liquidator of the High Court of Patnaregarding transfer of 137.99 Bigha lease hold property of the unit for development as an industrial area.
