What NMDC Limited does
A short, human-reviewed summary of the business, written from public sources. Background, not analysis, and not updated intraday.
business summary
NMDC demerged its Nagarnar steel plant into a separately listed company, NMDC Steel Limited, in 2022, so NMDC itself no longer manufactures steel. It is now a pure iron ore miner, about 61% owned by the Government of India, running mines at Bailadila in Chhattisgarh and Donimalai in Karnataka that make it India's largest iron ore producer, supplying most domestic steelmakers.

Metals & Mining

2What it sells
Mines and processes high-grade iron ore, around 64% Fe content, sold mainly as lump and fines, plus iron ore pellets. It also runs small sponge iron, wind power and diamond mining operations on the side.
3
3Who buys it
Its core buyers are major steel producers without full captive iron ore supply, including RINL, JSW Steel, ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India and Jindal Steel and Power, which use the ore as blast furnace feedstock. SAIL and Tata Steel run mostly captive iron ore mines, so are not among NMDC's largest buyers, though Tata Steel has begun buying some ore as its older leases near expiry.

4How it earns
Earns revenue almost entirely by selling iron ore at company announced list prices that act as a benchmark for the domestic market, rather than floating with international spot prices, giving it steadier but regulated margins.
Implied vs realized volatility

Returns and valuation
Built from the company's own balance sheet and cash flow. Return on equity is the trailing twelve months of profit against the equity on the books; the balance sheet behind it is filed twice a year, not four times.

The cash it actually made
Profit is an accounting figure; cash flow is what moved. Free cash flow is the cash from running the business less what was spent on plant and equipment, so it is what was left over to pay down debt or return to shareholders.

Against its sector
Where this stock sits within its own sector on each measure. The marker is its position in the peer group and the notch is the sector median. A position is a fact about the cohort, not a view on the stock.
Median rather than average, so one loss-making or one very expensive peer cannot drag the reference. Valuation is shown without a colour verdict: a higher multiple can mean expensive, or faster growth expected, and only you can decide which.

2026 has paid Rs 2.50 per share, about Rs 3,034 on Rs 1 lakh at today's price. Earlier years are restated to today's share count, so a bonus or split never reads as a dividend cut. Dividends are at the company's discretion and can be cut or skipped.
