NMDC targets net-zero operational emissions by 2047, plans 90% reduction

NMDC, the government-run iron ore producer, has set a target to reach net-zero operational emissions by 2047. It plans to cut at least 90 per cent of those emissions using renewable energy, electrification, low-carbon fuels, and carbon capture, utilisation and storage. For business owners, this signals a push toward cleaner operations in mining and heavy industry, which could shape supplier and energy choices over time.
