NMDC projects 20% increase in output this fiscal

05 Apr 2012 Evaluate

National Mineral Development Corporation (NMDC) has projected that its production will go up by 20% in FY’13. It proposes to enhance its production from the existing mines to more than 30 million tonne this year. The state-owned iron ore producer had produced 25.19 million tonne iron ore in FY’11, up 6% over 23.8 million tonne recorded in 2009-10.

This year the company plans to start the unifloor system of evacuation. Also the railways had assured them that if the system starts by the end of this quarter, then three million tonnes of extra transportation will be provided. The company plans to spend Rs 4,655 crore on capital expenditure in the 2012-13 fiscal. Over 75% of the fund (Rs 3,513 crore) will be spent on its upcoming three million tonne per annum steel plant at Nagarnar in Chhattisgarh and the rest Rs 1,142 crore on existing iron ore mines.

The Bailadila and Kumaraswamy mines would also start production this fiscal, but these are unlikely to be streamlined before the fiscal-end. This is because although Bailadila will start production by December this year and the Kumaraswamy by March next year, their evacuation systems still need to be built up.
