India’s state-run mining giant, NMDC Limited, recorded an 18% year-on-year increase in iron ore production in February 2025, reinforcing its position as the country’s top iron ore producer. The company reported a total output of 4.5 million tonnes during the month, compared to 3.8 million tonnes in February 2024.

Strong Performance Amid Industry Challenges

Despite global market fluctuations and domestic steel demand variations, NMDC has consistently ramped up its production. The growth is attributed to higher operational efficiency, improved mining infrastructure, and strategic planning. The company’s major production sites in Chhattisgarh and Karnataka played a crucial role in achieving this milestone.

Rising Demand from the Steel Sector

India’s iron ore demand remains strong, driven by increasing steel production and infrastructure development projects. NMDC has been a key supplier for domestic steelmakers, ensuring a steady supply of high-quality ore. Additionally, exports have also contributed to the production boost.

Outlook for the Coming Months

NMDC is expected to sustain its growth momentum, with further expansions planned for FY 2025-26. The company is focusing on technology upgrades, sustainable mining practices, and capacity expansion to maintain its leadership in the iron ore sector.
