The latest prices are inclusive of royalty as well as contributions to District Mineral Foundation (DMF) and National Mineral Exploration Trust (NMET).
Cess, forest permit fee, and other taxes will be levied additionally, the miner said in a regulatory filing.
On May 30, NMDC fixed the rate of lump ore and fines at Rs 3,900 and Rs 3,560 per tonne, respectively.
At that time, the rates excluded royalty, contributions to DMF and NMET, cess, forest permit fee and other taxes.
“Inclusion of royalty, DMF, and NMET brings the prices on a par with the rates of miners in Odisha. Customers will now find it easier to calculate the prices of iron ore,” a SteelMint analyst said. Iron ore is one of the key raw materials used in manufacturing steel, and any movement in its prices has a direct impact on steel rates.
NMDC contributes 17-20 per cent to the country’s total iron ore production.
