Resources Pellets Concentrates Pvt. Ltd. (RPCL), Bengaluru, has awarded SMS group a contract for a compact pellet plant with an annual capacity of two million tonnes. The facility will be built in Karnataka, India, with project completion scheduled within 15 months.

RPCL, a joint venture between BKG Mining Private Limited and Fomento Resources Pvt. Ltd., aims to strengthen its resource base and support sustainable regional development with this investment.
