The largest iron ore producing Navratna NMDC has made yet another big contribution to fight against COVID-19 when it donated Rs 150 crore in PM CARES Fund.

NMDC CMD N Baijendra Kumar (IAS), CMD tweeted on March 30: “To deal with the difficult times arising out of COVID 19 in the Country, #NMDC will be donating Rs 150 crore to #PMCARES FUND. It is a small contribution from @nmdclimited for a National Cause on the appeal of @narendramodiji our Hon PM.”

This gesture was immediately responded and appreciated by Union Minister for Steel and Petroleum & Natural Gas Dharmendra Pradhan by saying that “In times of the nation's need, no contribution is too small, we all must come together and help in whichever and whatever way we can.”

With this contribution NMDC becomes the first PSU to respond to the PM’s call for contributions to combat the Corona virus. This initiative by NMDC once again establishes the company’s commitment to social causes and its support in times of crisis.
