NMDC has invested Rs 1,400 crore in introducing two breakthrough innovations in mining technology at its iron ore complex. The twin technologies, a 5-km long conveyor belt, the only one of its kind in Asia, and a ‘green’ pellet plant are already operational in the dusty iron ore fields of Kumaraswamy at Donimalai. Both the mine and the pellet plant are likely to be formally commissioned by mid-June 2016.
NMDC is a state-controlled mineral producer of the Government of India. It is fully owned by the Government of India and is under administrative control of the Ministry of Steel.
