The Sandur Manganese & Iron Ores Limited (SMIORE) has received regulatory approval to increase its permissible annual production (PAP) limit of iron ore. The Central Empowered Committee, constituted by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, has approved an enhancement from 3.81 Million Tonnes Per Annum (MTPA) to 4.36 MTPA.

Path to Higher Output

With this approval in place, SMIORE now plans to obtain necessary consent for operation expansion from the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board and other regulatory bodies. This step positions the company to operate at enhanced levels, boosting output to meet growing market demand.

  • Ferroalloy Plant: 95,000 TPA capacity.
  • Captive Power Plant: 32-MW generation capacity.
  • Coke Oven Plant: 0.5 MTPA capacity with two waste recovery boilers.

These facilities enable the company to add value to its raw materials and enhance profitability.
