The company produced 0.171 million tonnes of manganese ore in May 2025, marking an 18 per cent increase over the corresponding period last year.

In addition to production gains, exploratory core drilling reached 13,352 metres, showing a 17.5 per cent year-on-year growth, underlining MOIL’s strategic focus on expanding its mineral resource base.

CMD Shri Ajit Kumar Saxena praised the team’s efforts, stating, “Our mines are the backbone of MOIL’s success. With this performance, we’ve shown that disciplined operations and efficient practices can consistently break barriers.”

The company’s strong start to the year reinforces its commitment to scaling up production while enhancing long-term mineral security through sustained exploration efforts.
