Shares of NMDC were trading 6% down on Thursday after media reports suggested that the Chhattisgarh government has asked the company to disband iron-ore mining in Bailadila hills.
As per media reports, the state government’s decision came after the tribals called protest in NMDC’s Bacheli-Kirandul complexes, under the banner of the Sanyukta Panchayat Samiti. As per reports, tribals called indefinite strikes demanding a ban on mining in the hill (reserve) that houses their deity.
The operations in the mines have now been shut for a couple of days. As per reports, ~70% of NMDC's sales came from Chhattisgarh mines in FY19.
