Shares of The Sandur Manganese & Iron Ores Ltd will be in focus after the company received regulatory clearance for expanding its mining operations. In a stock exchange filing dated April 30, 2025, the company announced that the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) has granted Consent for Operation – Expansion (CFO-Expand) for its key mining leases.
Under the approved expansion, the company will enhance its iron ore production from the current 3.81 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) to 4.36 MTPA under Mining Lease (ML) No. 2678. Additionally, it has received authorization to handle 0.327 million tonnes of already stocked incidental iron ore under ML No. 2679, with the condition that this is completed by August 31, 2026.
The approvals were granted under the Water and Air Acts after a thorough review of the company's compliance and expansion application. The company will now present these approvals to the Monitoring Committee constituted by the Hon'ble Supreme Court and the Department of Mines and Geology for final operational clearance.
These developments mark a significant step in Sandur's strategic expansion plans in Karnataka's Ballari district.
