Strong Production Boosts Price Adjustments

The price update coincides with NMDC’s robust operational performance. The company achieved over 53 million tonnes (MT) of iron ore production in FY2025-26, reflecting a 21% increase compared to the previous year.

Total sales reached 50.23 MT, a rise of approximately 13% year-over-year, demonstrating consistent demand from the steel industry. In March alone, NMDC produced 5.35 MT and recorded sales of 5.90 MT.

The miner has become the first firm in India’s mining sector to surpass the 50 MT annual production mark, supported by strong output from its major mines in Chhattisgarh and Karnataka.
