State-owned miner NMDC said today that it produced 4.53 million tonne (MT) iron ore in the first two months of the ongoing fiscal, 2018-19.
The company has produced 3.09 MT iron ore from its mines in Chhattisgarh and 1.44 MT in Karnataka, NMDC said in a BSE filing.
NMDC also said that it sold 4.53 MT iron ore in the last two months.
Production and sales figures of iron ore are provisional, it added.
Iron ore is the main ingredient used in making steel.
