The Steel Minister reviewed operations at the Donimalai and Kumaraswamy iron ore mines and the NMDC Pellet Plant on his visit.

Addressing the officials, he said, “The largest producer of iron ore in India – NMDC has consistently met the infrastructure needs of the country. As India gears up to become an iron and steel powerhouse and we head closer to achieving the Steel Vision 2030, NMDC will play a pivotal role.”

He also directed close monitoring of execution and commissioning of ongoing projects so that they could be completed on priority.

On Saturday, while inaugurating the NMDC Tree Plantation Drive as part of the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav celebrations, the Steel Minister emphasized our collective responsibility towards a Green India.

Ram Chandra Prasad Singh congratulated NMDC on earning 5 Star Ratings for all their mining complexes and said, “The mining sector must be deeply conscious of its impact on the environment. Sustainable mining practices and conservation initiatives are the need of the hour. It is a matter of pride that NMDC is committed to eco-friendly mining.”
