Essar eyes shipping, telecom JVs in Vietnam

Essar Group is looking at shipping, telecom and energy joint venture opportunities in Vietnam, Jagdeesh Mehta, president of Essar Vietnam Steel Corp., said on Thursday at an Indo-Vietnam business conference. Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung is leading a business delegation to India. The Essar Group and two Vietnamese companies said earlier this year they would establish a $527-million venture to build a hot-rolled steel mill to help reduce the country's dependence on imports of hot-rolled steel coils.
