A new tender for the privatization of AMIDIP Calan took place Friday, but once again, no company expressed interest in taking over the plant. The asking price had been set at 2.854 million dollars, which is 25 percent under the price demanded at the last privatization attempt. Tomorrow the privatization authority will make a new attempt to attract an investor with a price 25 percent lower than Friday's offer. Two companies bought the task book for the tender, including Indian-based Jindal Saw. AMIDIP separated from the Sidermet Calan iron and steel plant in 2003 to produce cast-iron tubes.
