After closure of the Donimalai iron ore mine for more than eight months, NMDC is set to resume operations in accordance with the decision of the Karnataka High Court.
NMDC has approached Karnataka’s government to facilitate execution of lease deed and resumption of operations at Donimalai mine. The resumption of mining at Donimalai would avoid further loss to national and state exchequer apart from providing the much-needed iron ore to the steel industry for the development of the state.
Though it had been a long wait for NMDC, the news has brought in lot of cheers, especially to steel makers, investors, the mining fraternity, customers and employees who have been eagerly waiting for it, said N Baijendra Kumar, IAS, CMD.
He also expressed his gratitude for the co-operation extended by the Ministry of Steel, government of Karnataka, legal bodies and particularly, all stakeholders for having faith on NMDC at all times.
