National Enterprises Plans Iron Ore Beneficiation in Odisha

National Enterprises embarked on an Iron Ore Mining project in Adaghat, Sundargarh District, Odisha, with a project cost of Rs. 20 crores. Securing a 15.074-hectare mining lease from the Odisha Department of Steel & Mines in 2000, the project targets a production capacity of 0.7 Million Tonnes per Annum (MTPA) of Run-of-Mine (ROM) iron ore. Its infrastructure includes two 150 TPH mobile crushing units dedicated to ore processing.

Environmental consciousness marks this project, with implemented measures aimed at minimizing adverse impacts. These measures encompass dust control, efficient waste management, water conservation strategies, and adherence to regulatory standards through public hearings and environmental impact assessments. Nonetheless, typical challenges surrounding mining projects such as environmental degradation, community displacement, and safety hazards highlight the necessity for responsible mining practices and proactive community engagement to address these concerns effectively.

For a deeper understanding of the mining process, environmental initiatives, and community development efforts, exploring the project's website, if available, could yield comprehensive insights. Moreover, contacting National Enterprises directly or accessing resources from Odisha's government mining department may provide updated details and further clarity regarding the project's progress, environmental practices, and community involvement.

As on January,2024. Project is pending approval. Waiting for government clearances. No further details determined.
