The strong operational performance translated into a 23 percent jump in turnover, which rose to Rs 6,634 crore in Q1 FY26 from Rs 5,378 crore a year earlier. Profit before tax (PBT) edged up 1 percent to Rs 2,644 crore, while EBITDA increased 2 percent to Rs 2,777 crore.

Commenting on the results, NMDC's Chairman and Managing Director (CMD) Amitava Mukherjee said, “Iron ore is the backbone of India's steel industry, and as the country’s largest iron ore producer, NMDC is committed to meeting the nation's growing appetite for the mineral. Our strong Q1 performance, marked by double-digit revenue growth, is a testament to our relentless pursuit of operational excellence and strategic decisions. By leveraging advanced technologies and state-of-the-art facilities, we are able to consistently deliver high volumes and have set the foundation for this financial year and for our 2030 vision.”

NMDC said the results highlight its strategic focus on scaling production and meeting India’s rising demand for iron ore, positioning the company to maintain its growth trajectory in the steel sector.
