NMDC posts 15% rise in iron ore production in April 2025.
Total output stands at 4.48 MT, with sales up by 1%.
Boost driven by operational improvements and steady steel demand.
India’s leading state-owned miner, NMDC Limited, reported a 15% year-on-year increase in iron ore production for April 2025, signaling strong operational performance at the start of the new financial year.
According to a company filing, NMDC produced 4.48 million tonnes (MT) of iron ore in April, up from 3.89 MT in the same month last year. The company’s sales also rose marginally by 1% to 3.94 MT during the same period. Officials attribute the rise to improved operational efficiencies, better logistics management, and favorable mining conditions across its key production hubs in Chhattisgarh and Karnataka.
The output surge comes as India’s steelmakers ramp up production amid firm domestic demand and fluctuating global supplies. NMDC’s performance is being closely watched as the government plans to privatize the mining major’s steel arm — NMDC Steel Limited (NSL) — and strengthen its core mining business.
Analysts view this production growth as a positive indicator for the overall Indian steel sector, which is grappling with price volatility and supply constraints in both domestic and export markets.
