The company's cumulative performance up to January 2026 further highlights this upward trajectory. Production surged to 42.65 MT, marking a 19 per cent growth, while sales increased to 39.73 MT, up 9.7 per cent year-on-year.

On the financial front, NMDC delivered a robust nine-month performance for 2025-26 since inception.

NMDC has also declared an interim dividend of Rs 2.50 per equity share for their shareholders.

"With back-to-back record volumes and strong financials, NMDC remains firmly on track to achieve its annual targets and is well-positioned to set new benchmarks for the mining industry."

Great to see an Indian company doing so well! But I hope with this record production, they are also investing heavily in sustainable mining practices and community welfare in the mining areas. Growth should be responsible.

The diversification into coal with the Tokisud mine is a smart strategic move. Reduces dependency on a single commodity. More power to our Navratna companies! 👏

Revenue up 22% but PAT only 4%? Seems like costs are rising sharply. Would like to see more details on what's impacting the bottom line. Still, a good overall performance.

Strong operational numbers. This level of iron ore production is vital for supporting steel manufacturing and construction projects across the country. A positive indicator for the industrial sector.
