NEW DELHI: When the first wave of coronavirus infections hit the country last year, there was a large cluster at JSW’s plant in Karnataka. Wiser from the experience, it is not taking any chances this time.
“We have arranged accommodation for workers involved in construction at our sites in Maharashtra and others in our colonies, ensuring that they have provisions and supplies and they do not have to go out,” said JSW Steel joint MD and group CFO Sheshagiri Rao.
