In a statement, Jindal Steel said it was not able to come to an agreement with Al Ghaith due to reasons including lack of clarity on land titles and incremental liabilities.

Late last month, the Economic Times newspaper had said Jindal Steel was close to acquiring Oman-based Shadeed for nearly $500 million.
