Achievements NMDC Steel produced over 20 lakh tonnes of hot metal,

Jagdalpur-Nagarnar, 3rd April 2025//  NMDC Steel Limited's (NSL) integrated steel plant at Nagarnar achieved a significant milestone in its stabilization journey, producing over two million tons of hot metal in

the financial year 2024-2025, ending March 31, 2025. This milestone marks a 100% increase in hot metal production compared to the previous fiscal (2023-24), when the Plant produced 966,468 tons in its first seven and a half months of operation. Having attained 60% of its rated capacity in its second year, the Plant is well-positioned to reach its rated capacity of 3.3 million tons per annum (MTPA) of hot metal production in the current fiscal. Commissioned on 15th August 2023, NSL's steel plant has been steadily progressing towards its rated capacity, demonstrating a strong growth trajectory and underscoring the company's commitment to operational excellence. NSL has also made significant progress in consolidating its market presence. Despite navigating a challenging market landscape for most of the last fiscal, coupled with a two[1]week production and dispatch disruption due to transporters protests at the Plant gates, NSL achieved the remarkable feat of marketing over 1.45 million tons of Hot Rolled (HR) Coils and Sheets during the last fiscal.

This represents a substantial increase of over 300% in sales volume compared to the previous fiscal (2023-24), highlighting NSL's expanding customer base and strengthening market position. NSL set another record by dispatching a record 2,29,874 tons of Hot Rolled Coils (HRC) in March 2025, marking the highest monthly dispatch since commencement of production. It was the strategic engagement of 4 Liberalized Special Freight Train Operator Rakes (LSFTO Rakes) which dispatched around 40,000 tons of HR coils in March 2025 that contributed to the significant surge in dispatch capacity. The March milestone represents a 63% increase from the previous monthly best of 1,41,207 tons achieved in February 2025.
