Iron ore output has dropped nearly 36 per cent a day at a key mine run by state-owned NMDC Ltd since early June after night freight trains were suspended to avoid Maoist attacks. The daily dispatches of 56,000 tonnes have now come down to a level of nearly 36,000 tonnes a day.
NMDC officials said shipments were cut starting June 5 as they were only nine rail rakes now in use, compared with 14 rakes a week earlier. The affected mining complex, encompassing two units, in the Bailadila hills of Chhattisgarh, of which Raipur is the capital, had produced 77 percent of the company's total output of 28.52 million tonnes in the year ended March 31, 2009.
NMDC officials said supplies could normalise next week with resumption of night trains. Railway authorities suspended night freight trains following police intelligence alerts that Maoist rebels could target them to mark a week-long revolutionary week they were celebrating in the state.
