MOIL's production of manganese ore increased by 3.69% during the first half of the year 2012-13, over the corresponding period in the previous year. The sales turnover increased by 3.27% over the corresponding period last year. During April-September, 2012, the profit after tax (PAT) decreased by 3.69% compared to last year. The shortfall in profit is due to fall in international prices of manganese ore. Besides, the country’s largest manganese miner has spent Rs 2.34 crores during April-September, 2012 towards Corporate Social Responsibility against a budget provision of Rs 9.50 crores for the year 2012-13.

Moreover, the Union Minister of Steel has directed the company to increase production of manganese ore to cater to the growing needs of steel industry and to look for acquisition of mines abroad to increase both production and turnover. The Minister has also expressed interest in the expansion and diversification plans like deepening and sinking of vertical shaft and sinking of second vertical shaft at some of the company’s mines.
