Mining Block
The Odisha government has annulled the auction process of Teherai iron ore and manganese block in Sundargarh district due to mild response from the bidders, a notification said.
The state government had started the process of auction of 11 mines and Teherai was the second block to have been withdrawn from bidding.
The Directorate of Mines said in the notification that the decision was taken since there were less than three technically qualified bidders for this composite mining block.
