NMDC, India’s largest iron ore merchant miner, is aiming to double its production capacity to 100 million tonnes (MT) by 2030 through an internal restructuring and expansion strategy. This includes establishing new divisions like a projects department and enhancing its human resources. The company is also exploring overseas acquisitions for iron ore and lithium mines.
Amitava Mukherjee, Chairman and Managing Director of NMDC, outlined the company’s roadmap: “To reach the 100 MT target by 2030, we plan to produce 78 MT from existing mines, 14 MT from the mines of NCL (an NMDC-CMDC Limited JV), and the remaining 8 MT from new mining leases across Odisha, Karnataka, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, and other states.”
NMDC’s current production capacity is around 50 MT, with significant outputs from Kirandul (18 MT), Bacheli (18 MT), and Donimalai (14 MT). The company is considering an investment plan nearing ₹50,000 crore, with an annual capex and investment of approximately ₹9,000 crore. Key expansion projects include the construction of a 12 MTPA Screening Plant, the adoption of a Rapid Wagon Loading System (RWLS), and new Crushing Plants for Deposits 14 and 11C.
To support its expansion, NMDC has applied for additional environmental clearances to increase Kirandul’s capacity to 30 MT by FY30. In Bacheli, new loading facilities and an upgraded Screening Plant are set to boost production to 31 MT. In Karnataka, NMDC is seeking permissions to enhance Donimalai's capacity to 17 MT. From NCL mines, NMDC plans to produce 21 MT from Deposit 13 and 7 MT from Deposit 4, contributing 14 MT to NMDC’s share.
Mukherjee emphasized the strategic and tactical planning at both management and field levels, aligning with the company’s medium- and long-term goals. NMDC is enhancing production and evacuation capacities, building supply chain resilience, and focusing on ESG principles. The establishment of a ‘Works Organisation’ in FY24 aims to streamline the execution of ambitious projects.
India’s National Steel Policy aims to increase the country's steelmaking capacity to 300 million tonnes by 2030, requiring around 450 million tonnes of iron ore. NMDC, currently contributing 16 percent to national production, targets to maintain its share at 22 percent with a 100 MT production capacity by FY30.
To achieve these goals, NMDC has engaged global consulting agencies to devise strategies for commercial sales, distribution, and logistics, ensuring a comprehensive approach to market expansion.
