The matter was discussed during a meeting between the monitoring team of the provincial government and the management of PT Meratus Jaya Iron Steel in Batu Licin, Batu Bambu district, on Tuesday.
The monitoring team led by Hadi Susilo, expert staff of the South Kalimantan governor, made a visit to the project site to observe the development of the steel factory.
Hadi said the completion of the factory was actually behind schedule due to technical problems.
The technical problem included the late arrival of the power plant components such as broiler which was designed in Germany but produced in China.
"According to the company`s explanations the power plant construction has been 58.2 percent completed," Hadi said.
