NMDC’s Bailadila iron ore mining projects has recorded a five per cent increase in production in June this year at 18.61 lakh tonnes, compared to 17.72 lakh tonnes in the same period last year, despite lockdown. The Kirandul unit of Bailadila Projects sold 8.47 lakh tonnes of iron ore in June, up 24 per cent over the same month last year. This is a wonderful achievement in increasing production and sales by the personnel of the Bailadila Projects under adverse and stressful circumstances.
