NMDC's chairman on operational excellence

Even with all that extra production and higher turnover (up to ₹6,634 crore from ₹5,378 crore last year), NMDC's net profit slipped slightly to ₹1,969 crore.
The company credits its steady performance to new tech and better facilities.
Chairman Amitava Mukherjee emphasized that a focus on operational excellence is helping NMDC keep up with India's growing needs for steel.
