Also, Turnover during Q-1, 2011-12 was Rs. 211.21 crores against Rs. 349.18 crores in Q-1, 2010-11. Further

The Minister informed that due to oversupply in the market mainly from external sources, the company has corrected the price of manganese ore downwards in-line with international prices. He expressed his satisfaction on the expansion and diversification plan of the company by way of various mining projects for deepening and sinking of vertical shafts at its mines, large scale opencast and underground development of mines and efforts for acquisition of new mines in India and abroad.
