OMDC plans pelletisation, beneficiation plants

The mining company,  Orissa Minerals Development Company, has decided to invest around Rs 800 crore in setting up iron ore pelletisation and beneficiation plants to convert iron ore fines lying as waste into usable raw material for the steel industry. State owned OMDC will invest Rs 400 crore each in setting up one pelletisation plant and one beneficiation plant of 2 mn tonne capacity each, helping the iron ore mining company generate revenues at a time when all its mining leases have lapsed.Contact: Orissa Minerals Development Company Ltd.Tel: 033-2321 3983.
