NMDC has halted iron ore production at all its mines except Kumaraswamy Mines in Karnataka.
Barring Kumaraswamy Mines in Karnataka, production of iron ore by NMDC came to a standstill as the company halted production at Bailadilla Range in Dantewada in Chhattisgarh also due to protest by tribals.
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.
