Lloyds Metals and Energy has received environmental clearance (EC) to expand its iron ore mining capacity to 55 MTPA (26 MTPA Hematite initially, later ramping up to 55 MTPA including 45 MTPA BHQ), positioning its mine in Gadchiroli as India’s largest iron ore operation. This step strengthens raw material security for steelmakers and supports LMEL’s integrated, low-cost steel production model. With a focus on sustainability and beneficiation, the project will transform Gadchiroli into a major steel hub.
