NMDC Ltd., India’s largest iron ore producer and a Navratna CPSE under the Ministry of Steel, has achieved its highest-ever production, sales and financial performance during the first nine months of FY 2025–26.
During April–December FY26, NMDC recorded iron ore production of 42.65 million tonnes (MT), registering a growth of about 19% year-on-year, while sales stood at 39.73 MT, reflecting a growth of nearly 10% over the corresponding period last year. The company also achieved its best-ever monthly performance in January, with record production and sales.
On the financial front, NMDC reported a robust increase in revenue, which rose by around 22% to ₹20,381 crore during the nine-month period. Profit Before Tax (PBT) stood at approximately ₹7,280 crore, while Profit After Tax (PAT) was about ₹5,401 crore, reflecting sustained operational efficiency and cost optimisation. EBITDA during the period increased to about ₹7,666 crore.
The strong performance was driven by higher volumes, improved operational efficiencies and better market conditions. In view of the healthy financial position, the company has also declared an interim dividend of ₹2.50 per equity share.
With these record results, NMDC remains well positioned to achieve its production and financial targets for FY26 and continues to play a vital role in strengthening India’s mineral security and supporting the growth of the steel sector.
