NMDC Limited, a premier Navratna public sector enterprise under India’s Ministry of Steel, leads the country in iron ore production with highly mechanized mines across Chhattisgarh and Karnataka. It also operates India's only mechanized diamond mine.

In the first half of FY26, NMDC demonstrated robust financial performance with a 27% increase in revenue to INR 12,895 crore, attributed to a substantial 22.3 million tonne increase in iron ore production and sales, along with enhanced fines dispatch for pellet production.

NMDC has expanded its investment portfolio, resulting in a total of INR 1,302.68 crore invested in subsidiaries, joint ventures, and associates, enabling diversified growth pathways.

The company unveiled the Rapid Wagon Loading System in its Kirandul Complex and progressed significantly in constructing its Screening Plant, bolstering its operational efficiency and logistical infrastructure.

Despite a 7% drop in domestic realization rates for iron ore sales in Q2 FY26 compared to Q1, NMDC maintained strong profit margins, partially due to an increase in international demand and operational efficiencies.
