India's Tata Steel Steel is planning to start construction of a 6 million tons steel plant at Kalinga Nagar in Jajpur district of Orissa in the following 2 or 3 months after they have already received most of the possession of 1,360 hectare land.

In fact, the MoU has been signed by TATA Steel and Orissa government in 2004 and had aimed to start first phase of operations by 2008. However, the project got some delay due to the opposition from local tribals when it took possession of the land registered in its name will rehabilitate 1,200 families for setting up the plant.

But so far the local opposition has reduced substantially on the rehabilitation since a 40 member TATA team has been working hard to try to reach a consensus with the local community.
