NMDC has received allocation of 'Rohne' Coal Block. This allocation would ensure the coking coal requirement of NMDC’s upcoming steel plant at Nagarnar, Chattisgarh to some extent. This is an important step for raw material security for the steel plant and also to some extent reduce the import of Coking Coal.
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.
