| MEETING INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS |

MMTC’s role in the Nation’s mineral export does not stop with increasing the volume. MMTC has been making certain strategic plans which would facilitate in not only sustaining the present sevel of exports but, also equip the country to meet the challenges of larger volume of exports in future.
One of the bottlenecks in increasing the Indian Iron Ore exports is the deficiency in port facilities especially in the East-Coast where the operations are free from the vagaries of weather like, closing of port operations during the monsoon period in Goa, Mangalore, Bellikari etc. In this direction, MMTC has been successful in obtaining an exclusive right to develop a temporary Iron Ore Terminal at Ennore near Chennai. This facililty has become operational from July’04. MMTC had already made shipments of over 0.5 million tons from Ennore Port despite various teething problems. MMTC is also in constant dialogue with the various Ministries , Railways, Ports and exporters to assess the development potential for a comprehensive infrastructure requirements for larger volume of exports. MMTC will continue to play a vital role in these directions. |
