Procurement Committee

The Procurement Committee identifies – both from within and outside the country (apart from China), from where refractories can be sourced when it is absolutely essential and to work out strategies to get these at competitive rates. On the other hand, it acts as a nodal Committee where ISA and IRMA can collaborate, to provide a common platform to discuss the issues pertaining to supply chain and technology and thereby seek solutions.
