The largest producer of iron ore in India, NMDC is primarily focused on the local market. On May 27, NMDC recorded a consolidated net profit of ₹1,412.67 crore for the March quarter of FY24, a 37.8% decrease from ₹2,271.53 crore in the same period last year.

Iron ore sales rose 10.9% YoY to ₹6427.24 crore, the company said in an investor presentation.
The results come amid robust demand for iron ore, a key steel-making ingredient, as the government continues its infra-spending spree.
