Sandur Manganese gets EC for production hike

Sandur Manganese & Iron Ores Ltd has received Environmental Clearance (EC) from the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC) for its iron ore and manganese ore mine. The clearance allows for an increase in iron ore production capacity from 7.85 MTPA to 9.42 MTPA and a reduction in manganese ore capacity from 1.34 MTPA to 0.7330 MTPA. This also includes reconfiguration of the beneficiation plant. The company will now pursue further regulatory approvals to operate at these enhanced levels.
