India’s largest iron ore producer, NMDC, will invest $262 million in the 2025 fiscal year to build a slurry pipeline and new processing facilities. This investment is part of the company's plan to increase production to 100 million tons by 2030. The company set a record with 45 million tons of production in the last fiscal year.
The flagship project of this investment will be an environmentally friendly slurry pipeline stretching 135 km from Bacheli to Nagarnar. New screening facilities will also be established at the Kirandul and Donimalai mines. The company will focus on blending low-grade ore with high-grade ore and reducing environmental impacts.
NMDC also plans to start producing 8 million tons of coking coal by FY26 and explore overseas mining opportunities for lithium, cobalt, and nickel. Additionally, the company will expand its railway transport capacity by increasing the KK line’s capacity and building new pellet plants. These strategic investments aim to meet growing local and international demand for iron ore.
